Set amidst the spectacular scenery of the Jungfrau mountain range, and in the shadow with the breathtaking Eiger as their backdrop,the Jungfrau and the Monch, Wengen and Grindelwald offer over 158kms of well marked pistes. The two charming villages remain totally unspoilt and boast a long tradition of hospitality and friendliness. The pretty traffic-free village of Wengen is accessed by a quaint mountain railway, whilst Grindelwald is dotted with chocolate box chalets, yet the centre has a bustling and cosmopolitan atmosphere. Wengen was in fact the first place in the world to erect modern ski lifts. |
