Traffic free Wengen (1274m), in Switzerland (in the Jungfrau region), is a large resort with 23 lifts (inc 10 chair lifts, 4 surface lifts, 3 trains , 1 gondola and 1 cable car) that offers skiers 4777 feet of vertical descent. Wengen has 112kms (213lm in region) of terrain over 53 pistes. A large proportion of the pistes (55%) at Wengen are covered by snowmaking. Wengen has an excellent beginners area in the village. The area is best suited to intermediate skiers and snowboarders but there is some terrain for advanced skiers including extensive off piste. There are no cross country ski tracks in Wengen but there are 40kms in the region together with 100kms of winter hiking paths and 50kms of sledge runs. For snowboarders and free style skiers there is a small terrain park. Wengen rates high for alpine charm and the awesome scenery of the Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau massif. The nearest airport is at Bern/Berne and the nearest train station to Wengen is at Wengen. There is accommodation located close to the pistes in hotels and chalet appartments.

Elsa-Marie Kitching van United Kingdom schrijft:
Enchanting alpine village. Absolute beginners on skis so needed instructors prepared to take on "oldies" gently. Found them (will spare them the embarrassment of naming them) with Altitude. We had a super time start to finish. Walked all the way to Mary's Cafe which was warm and welcoming. The Bernahof Hotel was too. Such lovely people also at Skiset. How blessed were we. Going back in March. Another year older and another adventure as we hope to go up to Murren this time.
Happy Christmas, Wengenites. Have a good one,
Elsa-Marie and Hugh Kitching XX
