Ski vacations Wengen - more than skiing!
Wengen
The famous village of Wengen is located in the Bernese Oberland at an altitude of approx. 1,274 m, and offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the surrounding 4,000-metre mountains. Since 1893, Wengen is accessible only by the Wengernalp railway from Lauterbrunnen (approx. 3.5 km). The village doesn't have a direct connection to the road network and is free from cars. Not only the nostalgic wooden houses, cabins and shops, but also the outstanding location - which guarantees an above average number of sunshine hours - make Wengen an exceptional holiday destination.Every high season, a number of cultural events, such as concerts, choir- and yodeling performances, take place in the village centre. But the charming mountain village also impresses in the field of winter sports: in January every year, the Lauberhorn ski competition takes place. This slope counts as one of the most challenging in the Alpine Ski World Cup. Cross-country skiers and winter hikers also get their money's worth here. With a total of approx. 100 km of hiking trails in the Jungfrau region, you will be more than impressed by the unique mountain landscape!
Jungfrau Region
Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau are, along with the famous Eigernordwand, the hallmark and high mountains of the Jungfrau region. Situated in the heart of the Bernese Oberland, the area stretches from Interlaken to the peak of the Jungfrau Massif. An impressive mountain landscape and crystal-clear lakes attract thousands of tourists each year to the famous holiday resorts. The region is home to several treasures, such as the "Jungfrau-Aletsch-Bietschhorn", with the longest ice flow in the Alps (22 km), which is a UNESCO world cultural heritage site. Just as famous is the restaurant "Piz Gloria" on the Schilthorn (2,970 m), which served as a backdrop for the James Bond Film "On Her Majesty's Secret Service". The "Top of Europe" is the highest train station in Europe and is situated at 3,454 m. The Jungfrau region is especially known as an Eldorado for skiers, snowboarders and hiking fans.Travel Wengen
