Winter Activities

Winter holidays in Wengen don’t need to be just about skiing. Wengen offers a wealth of other activities to enjoy the snow and ice.

Winter Hiking

Explore the mountains on foot with 100 km of winter footpaths across the Jungfrau region.

Our favourite walks in Wengen:

Hunnefluh: A 1 hour hike for a view across the valley to the Schynige Platte. .

Leiterhorn: A 2 hour hike for a stunning view down to Zweilütschinen and Interlaken. A winter wonderland of snow, firs and archetypal Swiss huts.

Staubbachbänkli: A 1 hour hike with views over Wengen and the Lauterbrunnen valley. Stop at Mary's Café where you can enjoy a warming, cosy rest. A return along the bucolic lower path via Wengwald will add approximately 1h to the trip.

Our six favourite walks in the Kleine Scheidegg - Wengen - Männlichen region:

Alpiglen - Brandegg - Grindelwald (9.5km): The footpath at the foot of the massive Eiger North Face has a wonderful view of the Grindelwald Valley.

Kleine Scheidegg - Fallboden - Kleine Scheidegg: A delightful circular winter footpath, immediacy of the towering Eiger rockface and views over Kleine Scheidegg.

Kleine Scheidegg - Wengernalp - Wengen (7km): With the impressive backdrop of the Eiger, Monch, and Jungfrau mountains, this easy walking path remains interestingly varied, at times following the ski run, at times, meandering through the snow-laden forest pines. At other points it features a view of the Lauberhorn Race track.

Männlichen - Holenstein (6km): This predominantly downhill walk follows the ski piste, with views over the Grindelwald valley to the Faulhorn (2681 m) to the north west, Schwarzhorn (2928 m ), Wetterhorn (3701 m ) and Schreckhorn (4078 m) and Eiger (3970 m)to the east.

Männlichen - Kleine Scheidegg (6km): Take the cable car from Wengen to the Männlichen before starting the undulating traverse downwards towards Bustiglen, passing the foot of the “Tschuggen” on the way. From Bustiglen you can take the chair lift or hike up to Kleine Scheidegg. Enjoy a drink or a satisfying lunch at Kleine Scheidegg before heading hometo Wengen via the memorable mountain cog railway opened in 1893.

Männlichen - Männlichen Peak (2km): Follow the path left from the cable car station up to the viewing point with unique views over the Lauterbrunnen and Lütschen Valleys.
