Are the means of transport of the Jungfrau Travel Pass wheelchair accessible?

An increasingly large proportion of these means of transport are suitable for wheelchairs

Wheelchairs on BLS ships on Lake Thun and Lake Brienz

The majority of BLS ships are wheelchair-accessible and have a toilet that can be reached by wheelchair. The only exception is the MS Interlaken ship, which travels on Lake Brienz.

On all wheelchair-accessible ships, the 2nd class entrances to the outer decks are at ground level. This also applies to the restaurants. The 1st class of the motorboats Stadt Thun and Berner Oberland can be reached via a lift.

With a wheelchair on the mountain railways

Rack railroads and modern cable cars transport passengers in wheelchairs or with rollators. By the end of 2023 at the latest, all cable cars that offer nine or more seats in a gondola will be legally required to do so.

But also quite a few gondola lifts with 4-8 seats already offer this service. However, please inform yourself about the ways at your destinations. These are not always suitable for wheelchairs

Wheelchair accessibility of the rack railways

All trains of the Jungfrau Railways can be used with a manual wheelchair. Electric wheelchairs are sometimes carried in the baggage car (e.g. between Kleine Scheidegg and Jungfraujoch). For the transfer at Kleine Scheidegg, wheelchairs should be announced in advance if possible. This applies especially if several wheelchairs are traveling together.

  • The Jungfraujoch is suitable for wheelchairs. There is a wheelchair stair lift at the entrance to the Ice Palace.
  • The trains of the Wengernalpbahn have wheelchair ramps.
  • At Harder Kulm the path between the mountain station and the viewing platform is wheelchair accessible, but very steep.

Cable cars access with wheelchair

  • Grindelwald - Grindelwald First: Access to the gondola at ground level. The viewing platform is easily reached. For access to restaurants Bort, Schreckfeld and First, the staff will be happy to help
  • Grindelwald - Männlichen: The new 10-seater gondola has level access. The top station at Männlichen has a panoramic path suitable for wheelchairs and a restaurant at ground level. The Grindelwald Teminal is easily reached via lift and ramps.
  • Wengen - Männlichen: not wheelchair accessible, but staff will assist with both boarding and disembarking as well as negotiating the landings (advance booking recommended)
  • Wilderswil - Schynige Platte: not wheelchair accessible, but the staff will help you to get in and out of the chair as well as to climb the stairs (pre-booking is recommended)
