Jungfrau or Berner Oberland Pass?

Posted by on

Can someone tell me the key differences? Or which one makes more sense for our itinerary?

We will also either get the Half Fare Card first, or maybe the STP (still figuring that one out).

When in the region, we will be staying in Wengen. We plan to spend one day in Lauterbrunnen, one going to the Schilthorn, one in Grindelwald First, one walking to Gimmelwald, maybe doing Jungfrau the last day (or just relaxing in Wengen and Murren).

We will be in Wengen as a base for 6 nights, 5 full days.

We will then go to Lucerne for 2 days and heck out Mt Rigi while there.
Then off to Zurich for one day before heading home.

Thanks!

Based on what I’ve found in researching our trip this June, the Jungfrau pass does not include any busses in Lauterbrunnen, or the cogwheel train near Brienz. The cable car from Stechelberg to Gimmelwald to Murren is 25% off. The BO pass is more comprehensive and covers all of those things. The BO pass will cover your ride to Lucerne, but not Rigi and not Zurich.

The advantage of the Jungfrau pass is that it covers one trip to Jungfraujoch. But if you get the BO pass you can pay about 65 CHF to add on the trip to Jungfraujoch. The Jungfrau pass will not cover you to Lucerne.

Both the BO and Jungfrau pass cover the cable cars above Wengen and Murren (but not all the way to Schilthorn). This differs from the Swiss Rail pass, which only covers those high cable cars 50%.
