GA TravelCard = Swiss Travel Pass?

Hi, I’m booking a return trip from Interlaken OST to Eigergletscher (Grindelwald). In the Discount Card category, I doesnt have Swiss Travel Pass as a choice. So am I supposed to choose GA TravelCard?

tanky76 Hi,

I suggest to book your ticket here, you have a special discount with your Swiss Travel Pass which is not the same as te GA Treavelcard. You don’t need any other ticket until Grindelwald:

If you travel only to Eigergletscher, you can also buy your ticket at the ticket office in Grindelwald Terminal. A reservation is recommended only for the Jungfraujoch.

The Swiss Travel Pass 25% discount on Jungfrau area tickets instead of the usual 50% is a quite unique exception specific to the Jungfrau Railways, and the SBB Mobile app does not support this unusual 25% discount category for calculating ticket prices.

Therefore, with a Swiss Travel Pass you should get those tickets only via the jungfrau.ch ticket webshop (or buy them on site at the Grindelwald Terminal).

Your assumption/question in the topic title is correct though for most other (if not all) mountain railway/cableway operators who are granting 50% on GA/half fare cards and the STP.
