If the official regulations governing mountain cableways and/or winter sports resorts change regarding COVID-19 protection measures (i.e. the introduction of, or a change to mandatory '3G' [vaccinated, recovered, or tested negative] or '2G' [vaccinated, recovered] COVID certificate presentation), then the respective implementation of these by the Jungfrau Railways does not entitle the customer to withdraw from the contract.

In the event of the closure of all ski areas in the entire area of validity by order of the authorities or voluntarily on the basis of economic considerations due to power rationing for more than 8 consecutive days of operation, the owner of a season ticket shown at the time of the announcement will receive a pro rata refund, i.e. the days that cannot be used will be refunded in proportion to the duration of the season. If installations remain in operation, only the opening times are shortened, the speed is reduced or other less drastic measures to save electricity are ordered or voluntarily taken, no right to a refund arises.
