Wengen and the whole Jungfrau region are one of the most amazing mountain areas in the world. Whether you just enjoy the scenery or are active, it is an absolute paradise for any mountain lover.
Wengen is located in the heart of the Jungfrau region and is the perfect location to start hikes for any level. There are myriads of shorter trails within and around the village, and numerous longer ones starting right at our front door or by taking the local transportation. For the more adventurous, Wengen and its region offer activities such as climbing, river rafting, canyoning, mountain biking, bungee jumping, and skydiving.
In winter the piste starts and ends right at our back door, enabling you to ski, snowboard, toboggan, snowshoe, or just stroll right into the spectacular surrouding area. In the centre of the village, just 100 metres away, you can enjoy ice skating and curling. Every year in January Wengen hosts the Lauberhorn World Cup downhill and slalom races, surely the most spectacular races of the entire world cup circuit. Just across the valley you can enjoy a day out at the Schilthorn, where the James Bond movie "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" was filmed.
For those who prefer a slower pace, Wengen also offers lovely winter walks, guided snow-shoeing and relaxing spas. You can enjoy a typical Swiss lunch in the fresh mountain air on one of the beautiful restaurant terraces.
