First gondola from Grindelwald
The gondola runs from Grindelwald via Bort and Schreckfeld to First. Select a return ticket if you intend to descend by gondola. Travellers who walk down or use an offered descent activity may need a different option. Check the last open section on your travel date.
Activities are not part of every ticket
First Flyer, First Glider, Mountain Cart and Trottibike have their own operating hours and age, height or weight requirements. Some products bundle the gondola with a choice of activities. An ordinary First gondola ticket does not. Read the exact number and type of inclusions, not just the title.
Allow for weather and queues
Wind, rain or high demand may restrict activities even while the gondola operates. The operator notes that a preferred activity cannot always be guaranteed. Plan the day in order of priority: the most important activity first, followed by views and walking.
Updated August 2026. Check the season, live status and participation requirements with Jungfrau Railways on the day.
For several excursion days around Grindelwald, include the Jungfrau Travel Pass in your comparison.

Common questions
Are First Flyer and First Glider included in the gondola ticket?+
No, not in an ordinary mountain railway ticket. You need the appropriate package or a separate activity ticket.
Can an activity sell out?+
Yes. Capacity, weather and queues may limit access. A mountain ticket alone does not guarantee a place on an activity.
Is the Cliff Walk separately priced?+
Check which activities are operating on your date. An ordinary gondola ticket does not include the adventure rides.
Views only, or an activity as well?
Start with the gondola and add a package only when the requirements and season suit you.
