Half Fare Card, Jungfrau Travel Pass, or Berner Oberland Pass? Answer a few questions about your trip and we'll estimate what each one costs for your plans — and which saves the most against buying individual tickets.
Estimates use published 2026 second-class fares and are for guidance only. Mountain and pass prices change by season and operator — always confirm the live price before you buy. This tool doesn't sell passes.
The more accurate your answers, the closer the estimate.
Heavy lift use favours a pass; lots of hiking on foot favours pay-as-you-go or a Half Fare Card.
Common questions
It depends on your trip. For a few mountain excursions in the Jungfrau region, the Jungfrau Travel Pass usually wins. For a wider Bernese Oberland trip with lakes and many lifts, the Berner Oberland Pass. For light use or lots of hiking on foot, a Half Fare Card or individual tickets can be cheaper. The calculator estimates all of them for your plan.
The Jungfrau Travel Pass covers the Jungfrau region (Lauterbrunnen, Wengen, Mürren, Grindelwald) and is cheaper. The Berner Oberland Pass covers a much larger area including the lakes and reaches toward Bern, Lucerne and Montreux, so it wins if you roam wider.
No pass covers the final leg to Jungfraujoch in full — all of them leave a supplement to pay (around CHF 63 low season, CHF 79–89 peak). The passes do cover or discount the journey up to Eigergletscher.
The Swiss Half Fare Card gives 50% off most train and bus fares (less on some mountain railways). For a short Jungfrau trip a regional pass often beats it, but for lighter use or a longer, wider trip it can be the cheapest option. The calculator compares them for you.
However you travel, Lauterbrunnen is the practical hub, steps from the trailheads and the village centre.
