The scenery is spectacular and the Swiss hospitality is second to none, so it’s no surprise that so many people, including all of us at the Ski Club, love the ski resort of Wengen.

Amazing scenery and sunny location

Wide range of slopes for beginner and intermediate skiers

Lots to do away from the slopes

On the Slopes
Although Wengen is famous for the fearsome Lauberhorn Downhill course – the longest and one of the toughest on the World Cup circuit – its slopes are best suited to intermediates.

For Intermediates
For Advanced/Expert & Off Piste
In the Resort
The village was a farming community long before skiing arrived; it is still tiny, but dominated by sizeable hotels, mostly of Victorian origin. So it is not exactly chocolate-box pretty, but it is charming and relaxed, and almost traffic-free. The short main street is the hub. Lined with chalet-style shops and hotels, it also has the ice rink and village nursery slopes right next to it.
For Families
Wengen is an attractive and reassuring village for families. The nursery slope is in the centre and the Playhouse kindergarten is in the tourist office nearby. There’s loads to do off the slopes, in including tobogganing, curling, ice skating, swimming and winter walking.
For Après Ski
If you’re used to raving in Kitzbühel or Val Thorens, Wengen is quiet on the après scene, especially for young people. But a number of bars are still popular at the end of the day, including the Pickel Bar, the ‘cosy’ bar of the Silberhorn Hotel, the traditional Tanne and the ‘lively’ Rocks Bar, with plasma screens showing Sky Sports.
On the mountain, the outdoor Läger Bar, next to the Männlichen chair, is good for sitting in a deckchair in the sun. Tipirama (a wigwam at Kleine Scheidegg) is a fun place immediately after skiing ‘if not too cold’, sometimes with DJs and live bands. The Wäsch bar at the Bumps section of the home run is a popular final-run stop-off.
Getting to Wengen
Wengen’s enviable location on the northern side of the Swiss Alps makes it a dream to get to. The best way is to use Switzerland’s quick, clean and efficient railway network to deliver you directly from the airport to the heart of the resort. Journey times from Zurich Airport take around three hours, or from Geneva Airport four. If you are on a transfer or driving yourself, note that Wengen is mostly car free; vehicles stop in the valley at Lauterbrunnen, from where you hop on the train for the short but sharp climb up the side of the valley to Wengen.
- Zurich Airport (by train): 3hrs
- Zurich Airport (by car to Lauterbrunnen, then train): 2hrs
- Geneva Airport (by train): 4hrs

Our Day
The amassed ski club membership of 1 met up with me this morning at manlichen and we agreed to ski on first grindelwald today. Weather was top drawer. We set off directly from manlichen to grindelwald terminal to catch the bus to first. The posted above holenstein were busy as usual but below this level very quiet. We arrived at terminal just in time to catch a bus to first, so spot on timing. First gondola was queued so took 10 mins to get in a car. Once at the top we continued up to overlock and skied from the summit to north in empty pistes below first top and great conditions. Coffee stop and boot adjustment was required. Following an extended chat in the sunshine we decided to ski again, and explored the various runs on offer whilst making a sweep over to stepfi, red 23, where we enjoyed the magnificent scenery and remote terrain en route to lunch at wetterhorn, where we sat in the sun again examining ski boots! The shuttle bus arrived on time to take us back to terminal for a return on Eigergletscher. The snow by this time was nice and slushy so we skied blackrock32 and then lapped wixi before returning to wengen on the lauberhorn dh run finishing at inner wengen. Great day.

Switzerland
Updated 18/02
High pressure over Eastern and Central Europe creates a strong barrier that is preventing low pressure and unsettled weather making its way in off the Atlantic. The result will be a cool but otherwise really stable week and weekend ahead for the Swiss Alps.
Sun will be the order of the day for most of this week, with a few flutters of cloud cover moving in through the middle of the week. The freezing line will drop overnight, with lows of -9°C possible at 2,000m. From its nadir at 1,000m, the line will climb in the midday sun, reaching 2,000m every day, bringing spring-like conditions to make areas. Through the middle of the week, the overnight line will rise to 1,500m, limiting the ability of snow on lower slopes to freeze overnight.
Early indicators are for some more snowfall to begin the new week, but it remains too early to tell whether this will bring meaningful snow to the region.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Ski Club will be unable to provide a Rep in Wengen for the week commencing Saturday 15 February 2025 – we are working to fill this slot as soon as possible. Please use our Facebook groups or Reps in nearby Grindelwald and Mürren. The Club apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Paul Bliss
Repping dates: 01/03/2025 - 15/03/2025I learnt to ski whilst at university with the OTC and still remember the buzz of learning the most amazing sport, which has become a major passion in my life. I did my instructor’s course in the Army and also a few winters in Norway learning military skiing and arctic survival. Since leaving, I’ve done my Canadian Alpine Level 2 and am currently training for BASI Level 3. I’ve also surprised myself by instructing on school ski trips in Italy, Switzerland and Austria and actually enjoying it!
I love skiing on piste or off piste - it’s a particular thrill to ski the whole mountain and be able to get away from the herd. In the ski season I’m based near Morzine and also for some of the summer, when I’m still daft enough to mountain bike.
It’s a joy for me to share my passion for skiing with others and I love meeting new people. I’m looking forward to skiing with you.
Susie Llewelyn
Repping dates: 15/03/2025 - 29/03/2025I was first stuck on skis in the days of lace up leather boots and horrid leather safety straps which was not a total success but when I returned to the slopes as a teenager I was hooked. I am a real powder bunny, never happier than when playing in the soft stuff and am happy to don skins in search of virgin tracks. When not skiing I enjoy cycling (on and off road) and most other outdoor pursuits particularly wet ones!
