    Public transport

    Public-transport-friendly

    Thanks to its central location in Europe, Switzerland is served by international trains from over 12 countries. Within Switzerland, Intercity trains run directly from Basel and Lucerne to the Jungfrau Region. Travelers from Zurich change trains in Bern. The trains run every half hour.

    Grindelwald

    From Interlaken Ost station, we reach Grindelwald without changing trains by taking the Bernese Oberland Railway (BOB). Important: board the rear part of the train, as it splits in Zweilütschinen. Those who board the front end up in Lauterbrunnen. The trip takes 30 minutes to Grindelwald Terminal (V-Bahn). Three minutes later, we arrive at the terminal in the village.

    In Grindelwald, there are three stations (Terminal, Grund, and Village). The terminal (Village) is located in the center of Grindelwald.

    Directions

    From Basel and Geneva, the fastest way to the Jungfrau Region is via Bern. From Zurich, the route via Lucerne and the Brünig Pass is recommended. The pass is open year-round.

    From the south, access to the Jungfrau Region is via the Grimsel or Susten Pass. Both passes are only open in summer. Alternatively, the Simplon Pass with a car shuttle through the Lötschberg tunnel can be used.

    Grindelwald

    From Interlaken, follow the main road to Zweilütschinen. Here, turn left towards Grindelwald. The whole drive takes about 30 minutes and leads over a partly winding route.

    Parking

    Grindelwald

    There are three public parking garages: Eiger+ parking garage (252 spaces), Sportzentrum parking garage (160 spaces), and the new Terminal Parking (1000 spaces) of the V-Bahn. Alternatively, the parking lot in Grindelwald Grund can also be used.
