# Wengen

Wengen is a picturesque mountain village in the Jungfrau Region, in the middle of the Bernese Oberland. It is located on a sheltered sunny terrace, at 1,274 metres above sea level, and offers what is probably the most beautiful view of Lauterbrunnen Valley. In winter, it acts as the venue for the Lauberhorn ski race
Stroll through the idyllic village with its wooden chalets and art nouveau hotels. At the church or on one of the “Staubbach benches”, you’ll be treated to magnificent views of the iconic Staubbach Falls. In one of the mountain restaurants, enjoy a fondue alongside a view of the mountains, which turn pink to red at sunset.
The Wengernalp Railway, with its yellow and green carriages, has reached cult status. The longest cogwheel railway in the world takes you to car-free Wengen and on to Grindelwald and the Kleine Scheidegg at the foot of the Eiger north face in comfort. The panorama benches also enjoy cult status in Switzerland. In Wengen, these are placed wherever you have the best views of the valley and the mighty mountain panorama. Is the bench already being used? Feel free to sit down next to them – and maybe you’ll learn a few interesting facts about the Lauterbrunnen Valley.
The cable car takes its passengers up to the Männlichen directly from the village itself, and in summer the roof can even be opened up. At the top, the Royal Walk beckons, with what are probably the most impressive views of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. Or you can take the first train from Wengen to the Jungfraujoch shortly before eight and immerse yourself in a world of ice and snow.
