See OfFersWengen, which shares the Jungfrau pass with Grindelwald and Murren, is most famous for its dramatic downhill course, the 'Lauberhorn'. It's also known as one of those classic Swiss ski resorts that is relaxed and has stunning scenery.
A relatively vehicle-free village, Wengen has retained much of its old-world charm, with mainly traditional wooden chalets and a friendly, welcoming community atmosphere. It's only approximately one and a half miles long.
Many people go to Wengen simply for the atmosphere. It's sedate, stress and traffic-free, and 'old-school'. The village has excellent hotels that provide most of the dining, with some superb mountain eateries to boot.
