Wengen is the ideal starting point for the family-friendly ski region of Kleine Scheidegg-Männlichen with 214 km of predominantly easy to medium-difficulty pistes and the renowned World Cup piste on the Lauberhorn as its crowning glory. The neighbouring ski areas of the Jungfrau region, Grindelwald-First and Mürren-Schilthorn are also readily accessible.
As the sun bids farewell to the daylight, Wengen transforms into a lively après-ski hub. The air crackles with the energy of traditional Swiss music as locals and visitors alike gather in cozy bars and restaurants to unwind after a day on the slopes. The après-ski scene, while not as boisterous as some of the larger resorts, offers a delightful ambiance to immerse oneself in the local spirit and savor a hearty meal of Swiss cuisine.
Beyond the exhilarating pursuits of skiing and snowboarding, Wengen offers a diverse range of winter activities to suit every preference. Families can embark on exhilarating sleigh rides through snow-covered meadows, while ice-skating enthusiasts can glide across the resort’s open-air rink. For a more serene experience, cross-country skiers can explore the tranquil trails winding through the surrounding woodlands.
Whether seeking sun-kissed days on the slopes or leisurely winter pursuits, Wengen’s ski holiday experience delivers a charming and captivating escape amidst the majestic beauty of the Bernese Alps.
Beginners can find their footing on gentle slopes like the Grosse Scheidegg, gaining confidence and honing their skills amidst serene surroundings. Intermediate skiers and snowboarders can venture through meandering runs through snow-laden forests, reveling in panoramic vistas of iconic landmarks like the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau mountains. Experienced skiers push their limits on the steeper slopes of the Kleine Scheidegg and Mannlichen or venture into the uncharted territories of off-piste powder bowls for an exhilarating adventure.
