Getting around the Wengen/Grindelwald/Jungfrau region

We are spending a couple of days in Wengen and trying to get a grip on the trains here. We bought single tickets from Zurich airport which may have been a mistake given the Swiss Rail Pass. But it doesn't seem to cover the Wengen-Grindelwald mountain train from what I can see. Single tickets on this network seem pretty steep.

What is the best option for two or three trips from Wengen to at least Grindelwald and Jungfraujoch?

Also - is the mountain train included when you a buy a ski pass?

(It seems that the best skiing can be found in Kleine Sheidegg up the mountain. Some slopes are open, some are not)

Best Answer

The map on this page will tell you whether the Swiss Rail Pass offers a discount on the privately-owned mountain railways you wish to take. That may change your calculations.

Depending on your tourism style, you may get value because the Rail Pass doubles as a Museum Pass on its days of validity.
