Hey Greg. Great video. I actually stayed in Grindelwald for 4 nights last September. Was blown away by the beauty of it. Just 1 thing, about the activities at First. U have to go early, as theres a big rush for activities. Sometimes waiting period is more than 1 hr.

Flew into Zurich. Went to railway kasse and helpful man sold us 1/2 price rail pass for 120sf then a Berner Oberland Pass for 315sf ( would have been 435sf without the 1/2 price card) this meant our return trip to Lauterbrunnen was 1/2 price saving 85sf then for the next 10 full days all train, cable cars, boats , post buses were free saving us ,00s of sf. Only extra cost was Murren to Shilthorn and Eiger Gletcher to Jungfraujoch- but these were 1/2 price.
@tashidelek57932 ай бұрын
Thank you for this comment. I thought Murren to Schilthorn was covered by the Bernese Oberland pass. Now i will decide whether to pay a little it more and do the Jungfraujoch instead of Schilthorn.

I deliberately planned my trip to Grindelwald on 22 November knowing that most cable cars and attractions are closed for maintenance. I will be there for the views and sceneries hopefully with very little tourists there. Ideal for picture takings!

This information is very useful, thanks so much. Sorry, but I'm wondering if de Berner Oberland Pass is the same as the Jungfrau Pass?
@SwitzerlandInsider3 ай бұрын
No the Berner Oberland Pass includes much more area and more trains. It‘s intended for the Berner Oberland (which is a region in Switzerland). The Jungfrau Region is a region within the Berner Oberland.

Hi, can you advise how to book hotel or an apartment for family?
@SwitzerlandInsider3 ай бұрын
I would book an apartment as a family, as you will most likely sleep in a chalet and sometimes you have access to a garden! You will find plenty options by searching holiday apartments grindelwald! 👌😊

Explaining the 3 train stations in Grindelwald was v helpful. I have been focusing on apts close to Grindelwald terminal expecting to arrive there from Interlaken ost. You think it might be more convenient to stay closer to Grindelwald station so we do not have to lug our suitcases around? I almost booked IT Mönch apts close to the Terminal station today for June 2025!

Hi Greg. I’m arriving in Geneva & going to grindlewald for 5 days. Planning on getting the berner oberland pass , if I buy the 1/2 price pass will that discount the Geneva train & the oberland pass ?? Thank you James & wife.
@SwitzerlandInsider2 ай бұрын
Hey james, it will discount both yes! You have to choose the discount option though in both cases 👌 good plan to do that also. And check the map of validity of the berner oberland pass so when you go to grindelwald you only have to buy a normal ticket to the station the berner oberland pass starts to be valid at!

Hi Greg! I have a question. I will be travelling to Switzerland in December for 11 days. Will go from Geneva to interlarken to Zurich. Should I buy Half fare pass and BO Pass or do you suggest only buying Switzerland Travel pass?
@SwitzerlandInsider3 ай бұрын
I would do Swiss Travel Pass Flex (3 or 4 days), so you can cover the days with long distances on the pass. The pass will also give you 50% off on many cogwheel trains and cable cars.

Hi Greg. Is travelling around Switzerland by bus a good option? Since you have always talked about the train system, I am wondering is there a bus system too?
@SwitzerlandInsider3 ай бұрын
Thats a good question! In Switzerland we have buses for commuter lines in cities and suburbs. There are also post buses (PostAuto) that connect rural areas. I don‘t think you can rely on buses solely to get about simply because there are not enough lines that connect. However if you want to travel in Europe, you have the option to travel large distances by bus with companies such as Flixbus.

Depends how much you wanna do, if you wanna do a lot of cogwheel trains then get the pass. Also note that if you get the half fare card you get discount on the pass also!
