On Thursday (March 26, 2026), Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) announced an expansion of their intermodal SWISS Air Rail network with Swiss Federal Railways (SBB).  Following the addition of Interlaken in December 2022, SWISS is now extending its offering in the Bernese Oberland to include Grindelwald. This expansion is made possible through a new partnership with Jungfrau Railways, which operate the rail connection between Interlaken and Grindelwald.

The new connection is available immediately. Tickets for the new destination are now bookable, and expands the SWISS Air Rail network to 25 destinations.

 

In Thursday’s announcement, SWISS’ Chief Customer Officer, Heike Birlenbach, said,


“Grindelwald and the Jungfrau region represent what many international guests associate with Switzerland: breathtaking alpine landscapes, unspoiled nature, and authentic Swiss experiences. The appeal is correspondingly strong – a large proportion of our guests come from abroad, particularly from the UK, the USA, and Asia. Our long-haul network connects directly here, bringing the world even closer to this region.”

 

Also commenting on the new connectivity to Grindelwald, Jungfrau Railways’ Head of Marketing & Sales, Remo Käser, added,

 

“The Jungfrau region and the Jungfraujoch – Top of Europe – rank among Switzerland’s most visited destinations.  We are delighted that international guests can now travel even more comfortably, feel at home in this unique mountain landscape from the very start, and easily discover the highlights of the Jungfrau region.”
