Best Wengen holiday apartments

APARTMENTS, HOTELS, CHALET AND HOLIDAY HOUSE IN WENGEN

The mountain village of Wengen lies in the Bernese Oberland in the so-called Jungfrau region and is an ideal holiday destination for anyone wishing to escape the hustle and bustle and transit traffic of major winter sports resorts. Your apartment in Wengen is surrounded by untouched nature, because the small village is not connected to the road network and can only be reached from Lauterbrunnen, the capital of the municipality of the same name, via the Wengernalp Railway. The fact that many winter sports enthusiasts and active holidaymakers nevertheless opt for a private holiday apartment in Wengen is due to the favourable location in the middle of the Grindelwald-Wengen/Männlichen ski area, which you can also use from your private accommodation. Over a hundred kilometres of pistes await you here, as well as winter hiking trails, ice rinks and much more. From here you can visit the Jungfraujoch, the Kleine Scheidegg or the Männlichen or take part in one of the guided excursions of the tourism authority, which will introduce you to the individual villages and their traditions. Take advantage of your stay to visit events such as the Snow Open Air before Easter or the Lauberhorn Race, which takes place every year in January and is one of the classics of the Alpine Ski World Cup. Unlike Couchsurfing in Wengen, you can experience these and other events with private accommodation without having to sacrifice comfort. Also book a holiday apartment in Gimmelwald, another car-free mountain village that can only be reached by cable car.

Apartments in Wengen, the car-free holiday resort in the Bernese Oberland

At the foot of the Jungfrau, Mönch and Eiger mountains, your apartment in Wengen is the first stop on the way to the Bernese High Alps with the Jungfrau-Aletsch UNESCO World Heritage Site. The impressive glacier and mountain landscapes are not only a pleasure for winter sports enthusiasts, because during the summer months the region around Wengen invites you to an unforgettable active holiday with hiking trails, via ferratas and high mountain routes. The Jungfraujoch with the highest railway station in Europe can be reached directly from Wengen with the Jungfraubahn, which also stops at Kleine Scheidegg and Eigergletscher. Find out more about accommodation in Grindelwald. From here you can reach the ski area Kleine Scheidegg/Männlichen as well as the ski and hiking area First with the gondola lift. The First is particularly popular as a starting point for paragliders and mountain bikers, but hikes to the Bachalpsee with its breathtaking panorama are also possible from here.
