| Set amidst the spectacular scenery of the Jungfrau mountain range, with the breathtaking Eiger as their backdrop, Wengen and Grindelwald offer over 158kms of well-marked pistes. The two charming villages remain totally unspoilt and boast a long tradition of hospitality and friendliness. The pretty traffic-free village of Wengen is accessed by a quaint mountain railway, whilst Grindelwald is dotted with chocolate box chalets, yet the centre has a bustling and cosmopolitan atmosphere. |
the skiing
The main area of the slopes is shared with nearby Wengen.
advanced
Experts can try the famous Lauberhorn World Cup downhill piste, or the fearsome Black Rock run which starts at the base of the Eiger. If you can cope with any more then there is the famous blac, almost vertical “Kanonenrorh” in Murren.
intermediate
The full area Jungfrau Top Ski Region ski pass covers 213kms of pistes, providing almost unlimited scope for intermediates on a range of relaxing runs or more testing routes sown the Kleine Scheidegg mountain. Highlights include the 8km run from Oberjoch down to Grindelwald and the powder slopes from the Eigergletscher to Wngernalp.
