Charm and tradition at the heart of the famous Jungfrau Ski Region

  • Ski from an altitude of 2,970 metres in the Jungfrau Ski Region
  • 211 kilometres of pistes across the whole ski area
  • 27 blue, 36 red and 19 black runs

The idyllic village of Wengen is high up on a sunny, sheltered terrace with spectacular views, dominated by the magnificent trio of peaks – the Eiger (Ogre), Mönch (Monk) and Jungfrau (Maiden) – which provide a spectacular backdrop to Mürren and Wengen, and in part to Grindelwald. You'll arrive in this charming, friendly village by scenic mountain railway as it has reduced traffic, although you'll spot a few electric vehicles around.

Skiing and Snowboarding in Wengen

Home of the famous Lauberhorn downhill race this area is a skiers paradise. With the Jungfrau whole area pass you'll have access to skiing and boarding in Wengen, Grindelwald and Mürren ski areas, on the other side of the Lauterbrunnen Valley.  Take the cable-car from Wengen village centre, which links to Grindelwald’s ski area or take the mountain railway to the Kleine Scheidegg where both ski areas meet. Whatever your ski ability, you'll have the chance to enjoy the expanse of slopes and beautiful scenery. If skiing and boarding's not for you or just fancy a few day's doing other winter activities, take advantage of the amazing winter walking and sledging network. Pre book a non-skiers pass and use the lift and rail network to link the sledge runs and hiking trails. 

Development on the brand new Schilthorn cable car will be taking place over the winter 2024/25 season, limiting access to the top of the Piz Gloria/ Schilthorn mountain. The cable car will terminate at Birg, however there is still plenty of skiing in the local Murren area. 

Bars and restaurants in Wengen

There are plenty of mountain restaurants across the Jungfrau area to check out for food at lunchtime. If you are around Grindelwald, why not head the Eigergletscher, and watch how the Rugen Disterllery gin is produced before enjoying a well deserved drink on the sun terrace.  In the small village you'll find that some of the best restaurants are in the hotels, which are largely open to the public offering a la carte menus. With the majority of our accommodation available on a half board basis, so you'll have breakfast and dinner covered. When it comes to après in Wengen, think cosy bars and elegant lounges.  Where to Stay in Wengen

Beginners skiing in Wengen

The convenient village nursery slopes and the Beginners’ park at Kleine Scheidegg make Wengen the ideal base for youngsters and beginners.  With long blue slopes heading down into the valley, these runs are perfect for practising your technique.

Intermediates skiing in Wengen

The Jungfrau region is perfect for intermediates with the Kleine Scheidegg and Männlichen area alone offering a large selection of satisfying reds runs - Wixi and Fallboden are some of our favourite slopes. 

Advanced skiing in Wengen

Confident skiers should head for the Eigergletscher or the difficult descents of the Lauberhorn chairlift, including the famous Lauberhorn race run. Have your moment on the famous race course - it's a great run that leads you all the way back into Wengen. The Eigernordwand 6-person chair lift will lead you to some adrenalin inducing slopes, including the black runs 'oh God' and 'Black Rock' or the red 'Punchbowl'.

Snowboarding in Wengen

We love finding the natural jumps on the wide Männlichen run, or make a day of it and head to the snowpark in the Grindelwald-First area where you'll find plenty of kickers, jumps, rails and a half pipe to keep you entertained.

Things To Do

Restaurants, food and drink

There is a good choice of restaurants both on and off the mountain serving traditional Swiss specialities, pizza or pasta and burgers. Marys Café is the perfect spot for lunch, located at the end of the Lauberhorn. 

Après, bars and nightlife

Wengen has a gentle après scene with cosy bars and lounges. At the bottom of the nursery slopes you'll find Schneebar Figelar, a great place to enjoy the winter sun at the end of a day exploring the Jungfrau. Sina's Pub has a great atmosphere and excellent pizza - there's often live music here throughout the winter season. 

Watch as the exclusive Rugen Distillery gin is made up at The Wall bar on the Eiger Glacier. A  unique highlight is that the gin flows over a stone sourced directly from the Eiger. There's a lovely sun terrace overlooking the slopes and Eiger North Face lift, or you can enjoy a classic gin and tonic in the modern bar are. 

Spas and relaxation

Some hotels in resort offer wellness facilities - perfect for relaxing after a day on the slopes. 

Shopping 

Situated along the main street of Wengen, you can find a variety of shops - many of them selling the latest sports gear, local crafts, watches and clothing. You can pick up a souvenir to remember your trip by at one of the charming shops selling handcrafted woodwork or at the local tabac shop. There's also three supermarkets in Wengen, so you can stock up on the essentials. There's also a lovely bakery in town, serving delicious pastries, baked goods and speciality chocolates. 

Sledging 

Wengen has a range of picturesque sledging routes, with one of the most popular being the 4.5km track that descends from the Männlichen top station to the village. Another great sledding spot is Kleine Scheidegg, where you can race down the Fox Run, located next to the Lauberhorn race course. For those seeking the longest sledging adventure, a trip to Grindelwald is a must. You can experience the thrilling Big Pintenfritz, a 15km run starting at Faulhorn and winding its way down to Grindelwald.

Ice Skating 

Swap your skis for a pair of skates, and enjoy whizzing around the ice. The village’s charming rink is perfect for skaters of all levels, with beautiful views of the surrounding mountain peaks. The artificial open air ice rink in the centre of Wengen is open from November (subject to weather conditions). 

Winter Hiking 

With around 100 kilometres of well-marked hiking trails across the Jungfrau region, you wont have to walk the same trail twice. There are a number of trails around Wengen, however we recommend heading up to Kleine Scheidegg where there is a variety of trails to suit different levels. Be sure to pre-book your non-skiers walking pass before you travel.

Sightseeing 

Head up to the 'Top of Europe' at the UNESCO heritage site of the Jungfraujoch and Aletsch Glacier, located at an impressive  3,454 metres, for incredible views across the region. Whilst you are up there, make sure to check out the Ice Palace where there is a variety of ice sculptures to marvel at.
