New seasonal pricing system on three mountain excursions

Jungfrau Railways and Gornergrat Railway introduce seasonally adjusted prices.

Starting 2018, Jungfrau Railways as well as Gornergrat Railway differentiate between three seasonal price levels: Depending on the time of year, high season, shoulder season or low season rates apply for the ride up Jungfraujoch, Harder Kulm and Gornergrat. Flexible pricing is intended to help distribute the demand over the course of the whole year and thus steer passenger flow.

Prices for the respective mountain railways according to the new pricing system can be found under:
