Is a reservation with a public transport ticket necessary for the ascent ?

Yes, in the summer season it is necessary to reserve a time slot (so-called boarding pass) for the ascent in addition to the public transport ticket. You avoid waiting times and secure your ascent, also with the SBB app. Without a reservation, waiting times may occur and, in exceptional cases, transportation may not be possible. Public transport ticket: Purchase directly via the public transport channel, e.g. SBB app or Bernese Oberland Pass (valid until 31.12.2025). Reserve a time slot here.
