Grindelwald-Wengen

Grindelwald-Wengen
Grindelwald-Wengen is a ski area in the Jungfrau Ski Region of the Bernese Oberland, Switzerland, with slopes on Kleine Scheidegg, the Lauberhorn and Männlichen between 1034 and 2320 metres above sea level. Skiers and snowboarders descend the pistes with the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau always in view, and the area includes the world-famous Lauberhorn World Cup downhill course, which good skiers may try outside race periods. The area is served by rack railways, cable cars, chairlifts and ski lifts, and is linked with the neighbouring Grindelwald-First and Mürren-Schilthorn ski areas of the Jungfrau Ski Region.

Families and Kids

Next to the Männlichen mountain station at 2232 metres, the Jungfrau ski school runs the Männlichen children's paradise, where children learn to slide, brake and ski in a playful way, supported by a magic carpet and two Pinocchio lifts. On Kleine Scheidegg, Lily's Pump Track and Lily's Family Slope offer fun for young and old, and the area also has several sledging runs for families.

Food and drinks

The area offers culinary options ranging from wholesome, down-to-earth fare to more refined dishes, from Swiss classics to international favourites, all accompanied by views of the Alps. Alpine chalets such as those at Alpiglen and Brandegg serve fondue next to the illuminated sledging run, and a glacier restaurant is located in the area.

FAQ

  • Can I ski the original Lauberhorn World Cup downhill course?
    Yes. Outside the race period, good skiers can try the original 4,480-metre downhill course from the start house over the Traverse Schuss, past the deactivated Hundschopf and through the Hanneggschuss to the finish. From the beginning of January until the race in mid-January the course is closed, and on some days sections may be closed for a few hours for races and training, though these can be bypassed.
  • What is the Jungfrau Eiger Run by Night and how do I get there?
    It is a 3.5-kilometre sledging run from Alpiglen to Brandegg on an illuminated piste, with a gradient of up to 36 per cent. The Wengernalpbahn runs to Alpiglen in the evening, and an evening ticket is available at Jungfrau Railways points of sale; the sledge is not included in the price. The run operates daily from 28.12.2026 to 02.01.2027 and on Fridays and Saturdays from 08.01. to 13.03.2027.
  • Where can children learn to ski in the Grindelwald-Wengen area?
    Next to the Männlichen mountain station at 2232 metres, the Jungfrau ski school runs the Männlichen children's paradise, where an experienced team teaches children to slide, brake and ride on snow in a playful way. A magic carpet and two Pinocchio lifts take them comfortably uphill. On Kleine Scheidegg, Lily's Pump Track and Lily's Family Slope offer further fun for young and old.
  • Which sledging runs are there in the Grindelwald-Wengen area?
    The area has several sledging runs, including the Jungfrau Eiger Run from Eigergletscher down to Grindelwald with a gradient of up to 36 per cent, the 4.5-kilometre Fox Run alongside the Lauberhorn downhill from Wengernalp to Wengen, and Ritas Speedway from the Männlichen summit station to the Holenstein middle station. Sledges can be hired at INTERSPORT Rent Network locations in Grindelwald, on the Männlichen and on the First.
  • Is there a ski depot at Grindelwald Terminal?
    Yes. Two ski lockers at the Grindelwald Terminal save skiers from having to carry their equipment on every trip to Grindelwald; they are available from CHF 12 per day.
