Wengen, which shares the Jungfrau pass with Grindelwald and
Murren, is most famous for its dramatic downhill course, the
'Lauberhorn'. It's also known as one of those classic Swiss ski
resorts that is relaxed and has stunning scenery.
A relatively vehicle-free village, Wengen has retained much of its
old-world charm, with mainly traditional wooden chalets and a
friendly, welcoming community atmosphere. Approximately 1½ mls
long.
Many people go to Wengen simply for the atmosphere. It's sedate,
stress- and traffic-free and 'old-school'. The village has
excellent hotels that provide most of the dining, with some superb
mountain eateries to boot.
There is plenty of choice including 3 sports shops with equipment to rent and the latest in sport and leisurewear. There are a few souvenir shops, a watch shop, a small supermarket and the usual mixture of small village outlets.
During the day winter activities include skiing, tobogganing,
curling, ice-skating, snow-shoeing, ice-climbing and guided winter
walking,
You can take a trip on a helicopter for sightseeing or maybe a
husky-dog sledge ride at Kleine Scheidegg.
In the summer, there is hiking, paragliding, minigolf, tennis and
an open-air swimming pool.
