Where

Located in Central Switzerland, ski Wengen for a ski resort based on peaceful south facing slopes. There are almost 100kms of slopes to sample, offering something for all levels of skier.

Experts can sample the Black Rock runs, or the near vertical Kanonenrohr, while boarders will enjoy 2 half pipes, a jumper's corner at Wengen, and a terrain park.

WE LIKE

  • Some spectacular scenery at the roof of Alps
  • Lots of long, gentle runs, ideal for intermediates and some challenging expert runs too
  • For beginners, the nursery slopes are right in the middle of the Wengen

WE DON'T LIKE

  • Limited terrain for experts and adventurous intermediates
  • Despite some snowmaking, snow conditions are unreliable lower down due to South facing slopes
  • Subdued in the evening, with little variety of nightlife - great for families!
