What is the difference between 1st and 2nd class on this journey?

On this journey, there is a distinction between 1st and 2nd class only on the regular trains . In 1st class, there are larger seats, more legroom and tables of two and four. In 2nd class, the seats are closer in tables of four only. There is no 1st or 2nd class on the journey to the Jungfraujoch. All passengers travel in the same area on the Wengernalp or Jungfrau Cogwheel Railway. However, if you choose 1st class for the journey, you can experience this on the trains from Interlaken Ost to Grindelwald or Lauterbrunnen before changing to the Wengernalp or Jungfrau Cogwheel Railway.

Can I choose what time I travel?

You can choose your preferred departure times for all trains, mountain excursions and boat trips. If you make a seat reservation for the Jungfrau Railway , this is fixed, meaning you can only travel at the time booked.
