A Jungfrau Travel Pass is a ticket that allows you to get unlimited travel on trains, boats, buses cable cars and mountain railways throughout the Jungfrau region.

Jungfrau Travel Pass or Berner Oberland Pass
Both the Jungfrau Travel Pass and the Berner Oberland Pass cover the area of the Jungfrau region, however the Berner Oberland Pass also covers the areas between the Jungfrau region and Bern, Lucerne, Montreux and Domodossola. It is a little more expensive due to this, and we go into exactly what extra benefits you can get with this pass in our Berner Oberland Pass blog post, but if you plan on visiting the Jungfrau region and other locations in the country, that the Berner Oberland Pass covers, then that might be the better option for you.
You can buy the Berner Oberland Pass here.
Jungfrau Travel Pass or Swiss Travel Pass
Whilst the Jungfrau Travel Pass covers only the Jungfrau region and up to a maximum of 8 days, the Swiss Travel Pass covers the whole of Switzerland and be can used for up to 15 days. It is a great option if you are planning on spending a few weeks in Switzerland and on visiting a few different locations / regions in that time too. That being said, the Swiss Travel Pass is a little more expensive that the Jungfrau Travel Pass if you only buy it for a short amount of time and it doesn’t always give you the best deals on regional mountain excursions in comparison to buying a region travel pass instead.
You can find out more information about this in our Swiss Travel Pass Guide.
You can buy the regular Swiss Travel Pass here and the Swiss Travel Pass Flex here.
