Wengen is one of the most attractive of all the mountain
resorts, perched on a sunny shelf in the heart of the Jungfrau, with good
access to all parts of this region by means of the excellent network of cog
railways, lifts and cable cars that take you all over the Jungfrau ski
region. So whether it's winter skiing or summer walking or biking, this area
has it all.
The town is car-free, which adds to its charm. After the
easy 10 mile drive from Interlaken, cars must be left in Lauterbrunnen (50
CHF per week in 2004, daily and hourly rates also available), where you take
the 15 minute ride on the cog railway to Wengen. At Wengen, electric taxis
wait to take you to your destination.
There's plenty to do in the town, with a good selection of
eateries, bars and cafs. There are 3 toboggan runs, horse-drawn sleigh
rides, dog-sledding, ice-climbing, an ice rink and curling. In the summer
enjoy the beautiful walks in the countryside around the town, with fantastic
views of the Jungfrau, or venture higher and follow the many well-marked
paths through the mountains on foot, horse or mountain bike.
The Jungfrau region comprises the ski areas of Grindelwald,
Wengen and Murren.
