My husband and I are going to be staying in Gimmelwald for 3 nights. We are planning to drive to Stechelberg, park our car, then stick to the cable cars for most of our stay. I read about a Schilthornbahn 4 or 6 day holiday pass, but can't find any info online. Has anyone purchased this recently or know that it still exists?
Lastly, if it does exist, can it be purchased at the Stechelberg cable car station?
Thanks in advance!!
The only thing I can think of is the Berner Oberland Regional Pass, which comes in 4 and 6 day varieties. It will not get you to Schilthorn for free, but it will give at least a 50% discount. It will work between Stechelberg and Gimmelwald and Muerren, as well as all the other trains and lifts in the area, minus the Jungfraujoch from Kleine Scheidegg, where again you get 50% discount
There is also a Jungfrau railway 6-day pass---used to be called a hikers pass. It is valid in the summer only and covers a more limited area than the Berner Oberland pass---basically from Interlaken up to Mürren, Wengen, and Grindelwald. It does not include the Schilthorn cablecar and only gives a discount on the Jungfrau train.
