More to Know in Wengen
A must-see for all visitors is the ultimate rail journey through the Eiger and up to Europe’s highest railway station at 3,454m, for breath-taking views including the 14km-long Aletsch glacier and the Ice Palace.
A trip up the spectacular Schilthorn peak above Mürren, famous for being the set of ‘On Her Majesty’s Secret Service’. Visit the museum and enjoy the fantastic views of the surrounding snow-clad peaks.
See the view from the other side of the valley when you head to the picturesque, traffic-free village of Mürren, which is on a sunny plateau above Lauterbrunnen.
The spectacular views of many of the Alps most famous mountains and flower-strewn pastures, draws walkers of all standards to this region. The heart of the Jungfrau region has over 500 km of well-marked paths from easy flat walks along the lakes or alpine moorlands to panoramic mountain excursions. One of the more challenging but iconic hikes is the Eiger Trail from Kleine Scheidegg which runs along the foot of the Eiger’s North Wall from the Eigergletcher station down to Alpiglen. The Panorama Trail at Lake Thun towards Sigriswil has lovely mountain views and for more gentle excursions try the lakeside walk from Faulensee to Spiez. But many committed walkers find there is so much else to do, such as a visit to the stunning Trümmelbach Falls in the Launterbrunnen Valley.
Travelling by train to nearby destinations is a pleasure in itself. Why not take a scenic train journey to the Schynige Platte Botanical alpine garden? Here you’ll discover one of the world’s largest collection of alpine plants grown at 2000 metres. If you stay in Interlaken or Wilderswil you’ll receive a free tour.
Other activities available for the more adventurous include paragliding or parasailing, kayaking, canyoning and even skydiving. For cyclists there are extensive bike trails and routes. To cool down Wengen has a wonderful open air swimming pool with views of the Jungfrau. Or you could learn to play the Alphorn on our excursion from Interlaken, Lake Thun or Wilderswil.
