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.
From Interlaken Ost station, we reach Grindelwald without changing trains via the Bernese Oberland Railway (BOB). Important: board the rear part of the train as it splits in Zweilütschinen. Those boarding at the front end up in Lauterbrunnen. The ride takes 30 minutes to Grindelwald Terminal (V-Bahn). Three minutes later we arrive at the terminus in the village.
There are three train stations in Grindelwald (Terminal, Grund and Village). The terminus (Village) is located in the center of Grindelwald.
