Wengen, a picturesque, car-free village in Switzerland’s Bernese Oberland, sits perched above the Lauterbrunnen Valley and offers stunning views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks.

Part of the Jungfrau Ski Region, Wengen provides access to over 200 kilometres of interconnected slopes shared with Grindelwald and Mürren, catering to skiers and snowboarders of all abilities. Beginners will enjoy gentle, well-groomed slopes, intermediates have long cruising runs and varied terrain, while advanced riders can tackle steep descents and off-piste areas. Snowboarders benefit from freeride zones and a terrain park, and the village itself retains a traditional alpine atmosphere with cosy chalets, restaurants, and welcoming shops.

Accommodation in Wengen is varied: luxury hotels offer wellness facilities and panoramic mountain views, mid-range hotels and chalets provide comfort and convenience, self-catering apartments cater to families and groups, and smaller guesthouses and B&Bs offer budget-friendly options. Most lodging is within walking distance of lifts or served by the local train.
