Description
It’s an easy train ride from Grindelwald or via Lauterbrunnen-Wengen to the mountain railway station on Kleine Scheidegg. On arrival, the spectacular view of the Eiger North Face will take your breath away.
Once you’ve exited the train, cross the railway track and follow the signposted and well-maintained winter hiking trail downhill, passing Wengernalp and underneath the famous Hundschopf - a famous technical jump along the ski race course. The trail continues to meander gently downhill, passing through some wooded areas, until you reach the Allmend. The magnificent sunny terrace of the Allmend mountain restaurant is the perfect place to sit and take a well-deserved break.
Re-energised, we continue our descent towards Wengen. From a distance, you can already see the first houses. The final section of the winter hiking trail takes you through the village, past traditional chalets until you reach the centre of Wengen and the train station. The charming village of Wengen is situated far above the Lauterbrunnen Valley at 1,274 m above sea level and is virtually free of cars. The Wengernalp Railway takes you back down to the valley from Wengen.
