Local Mobility

On Foot

Everything is reachable on foot. It’s about 1 to 1.5 km into the village, depending on your destination. Further suggestions can be found here.

Bus

We have 2 bus stops nearby. You may already know the stop Unterseen, Stadtfeld from the journey here. The bus goes once around the neighbourhood and stops down on the street at Unterseen, Camping Jungfrau .

Bus 104 runs to Interlaken West and continues through Matten to Interlaken Ost . If the bus arrives early at Interlaken West, you can even catch the train to Interlaken Ost (Note: you board right at the front of the bus. At Interlaken Ost you will be at the back of the platform and may need to hurry).

If you’re heading towards the Jungfrau region, it’s worth changing at Interlaken West to line 105 towards Wilderswil, Gsteigwiler. In Wilderswil you then board the train coming from Interlaken Ost. NOTE: The train splits at Zweilütschinen. The front part goes to Lauterbrunnen , the rear part to Grindelwald .

If bus 104 has just left, you can walk in 10 minutes to bus 105 at Unterseen, Wellenacher . This may also be an option on the way back if you’ve missed the 104.

Train, Mountain Railways, Boats

Half-fare Card

Depending on the length of your stay, one or another discount may be worthwhile. We locals (almost) all have a half-fare card (BahnCard 50). It costs CHF 190.00 per year and is valid almost everywhere, including mountain railways. I would say it only pays off with several visits.

The half-fare card for tourists is also available and costs CHF 150.00, is valid for one month, and can be purchased in advance abroad. An annual pass can also be bought by anyone, even if living abroad.

Regional Pass

If you want to explore the mountains for at least 3 days, the Regional Pass is recommended. With this pass you can travel on all trains, buses, boats and virtually all mountain railways. The Schilthorn is included. The Jungfraujoch is available at reduced prices (25% discount from Grindelwald or Wengen).

The expensive part here are the mountain railways. With this pass it’s great fun to be able to hop on everywhere and visit as many mountains as you like.

The pass is not exactly cheap. But if the weather is good and you want to visit many mountains without day breaks, it’s worth it. Trips to Bern and Lucerne are included too. However, taking out a pass just for these cities is not worthwhile. As mentioned, the costly part is the mountain railways.

The Regional Pass is also available at a discount — with the half-fare card. You have to calculate carefully whether it all really pays off.

You can now also extend the pass spontaneously by 2 days if you have more time.

Day Passes

There is yet another money-saving option. If you’re covering a lot of ground in Switzerland in a single day, a day pass is worth considering instead of a point-to-point ticket. This only pays off with a half-fare card.

There are also saver day passes. These pay off with sufficient advance booking and are also available for guests without a half-fare card.

As a further historical curiosity for locals, these day passes used to be available at a discount through the municipality of your home town (in pharmacies, bakeries, etc.) — this offer no longer exists today.

Swiss Travel Pass

There is also the Swiss Travel Pass. This is a ticket for Switzerland that lets you travel by train, bus and boat for free. However, mountain railways are either not included or only reduced by half. For the Bernese Oberland alone it’s not worth it. Here the mountain railways are expensive, but the trains aren’t (as much). You can see the area of validity here.
