Overview

Skiing in Wengen

Sharing the 213km skiing area with lift-linked Grindelwald, the main area shared is named Kleine Scheidegg. Nursery slopes for beginners can not only be found at village level but also just slightly above resort at Wengeneralp. Intermediates have their fair share of blues and reds; the local slopes here make up the largest part of the Jungfrau Topski region. Why not finish off a day’s hard skiing with the 7km run that descends down from the top of the Lauberhorn run back to Wengen? Eclipse Ski recommends the steep Lauberhorn World Cup downhill track and off-piste descent Oh God! for advanced skiers.
