Wengen is a car-free village on a sunny shelf above Lauterbrunnen, reached by cog railway; most hotels are a short, level walk from the train and lifts.
Reached only by the cog railway up from Lauterbrunnen, Wengen has kept its car-free, Belle Époque calm while plugging into the 160 km Jungfrau ski region shared with Grindelwald. The skiing is mostly gentle and intermediate across to Kleine Scheidegg and Männlichen, all of it under the colossal north face of the Eiger. Every January the village hosts the Lauberhorn, the longest and one of the most storied downhills in ski racing.

Wengen offers 160 km of pistes across 44 lifts, from 1,274 m to 2,320 m. Whether it suits beginners depends on the dedicated learner zones at the base of the slopes, so check the local ski-school options for green and blue run access.
The season runs from Dec 7 to Apr 14, with a snow score of 80/100. The best conditions are usually from late January through February, while spring skiing in March and April brings longer days and softer afternoons.
