Ski Holidays in Wengen
Named one of the prettiest resorts in the Alps, Wengen offers spectacular views from its 1,274 metre height, dominated by the surrounding Eiger (Ogre), Monch (Monk) and Jungfrau (Maiden) peaks. Accessed by the famous mountain railway, Wengen has guaranteed snowfall throughout the winter season due to the 150 snow cannons. The small family-friendly resort centre is ideal for getting little ones interested in the slopes, while the unique village atmosphere and traditional chalets are perfect for those seeking a romantic getaway in the Alps.
