Hotels in Wengen, Switzerland
At the foot of three imposing peaks, Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau, Wengen is the ideal place for a "slow tourism", without frenzy, without excess, and especially without noise, because the town is closed to traffic.
The village lies on a plateau at 1270 meters of altitude, always very sunny. Motorised traffic is banned from Wengen: the cars are stopped 400 mt downstream, in Lauberhorn, famous for hosting the World Cup competitions in Alpine skiing. Wengen has preserved a very nice and traditional look, with chalets and hotels in Belle Epoque style, with quaint shops of pastry, in a climate of peace and tranquility.
Nevertheless Wengen is a very important ski resort, with about 20 lifts leading to over 100 km of slopes. The legend tells that the British invented the Alpine downhill: here is one of Britain's oldest ski clubs, the Downhill Only Club, which dates back to 1925. From Wengen you can easily reach other ski resorts, such as Jungfrau, Schilthorn-Mürren and Grindelwald-First. For young skiers and beginners, the most interesting places to ski are around Männlichen and the Kleine Scheidegg.
There is also a wide range of non-ski activities available to tourists: skating, swimming, curling, snowshoeing as well as night clubs, restaurants and bars. Being closed to traffic, Wengen is only reachable from Lauterbrunnen by the railway Wengernalpbahn.
