Mandatory seat reservations for travellers to Jungfrau

To better manage peak season crowds and ensure a seamless experience for visitors, Jungfrau Railways will implement mandatory paid seat reservations for journeys to Jungfraujoch – Top of Europe from May 1 to August 31, 2025. This new measure aims to ease congestion during the high tourist season and improve the travel experience.

The seat reservation, priced at CHF 10, will be compulsory for travel on the Eigergletscher – Jungfraujoch and Kleine Scheidegg – Jungfraujoch routes. Designed with convenience, the system guarantees smoother connections and shorter wait times.

Passengers who reserve their seats in advance will benefit from:

  • Guaranteed Time Slot: A fixed departure time on either the Eiger Express from Grindelwald Terminal or the Jungfrau Railway from Kleine Scheidegg, allowing for reliable itinerary planning.
  • No Waiting Times: With a reservation in place, travellers can avoid long waits when transferring to the Jungfrau Railway at Eigergletscher station.
  • Guaranteed Seat: While seats are not numbered, each reservation ensures a seat is available, allowing guests to sit back and enjoy the breathtaking Alpine views.
