Wengen is breathtakingly beautiful, located deep in the Jungfrau region. views include the eternally white Breithorn in the backdrop of the Lauterbrunnen Valley. you can see the Eiger from Wengen, and possibly Monch depending on where you are (Jungfrau is hidden from view). because of its location above the Valley floor, it gets a lot of direct sun even in the winter (whereas most of Switzerland tends to be shrouded in cloud during this time of year). i stayed a week in december 2006, and it was an absolute “Winter Wonderland”... freshly fallen snow on trees, majestic white-capped peaks, children with toboggans, and wooden chalets like gingerbread houses. lots of winter hiking can be done (e.g., Monchblick, Staubbachbankli, Hunnenfluh). sledding (or “sledging” as they say here) in the Alps is a blast, runs include Wengernalp above Wengen, Mannlichen to Holenstein (7km of steep hills and hairpin turns), First in Grindelwald, and Murren.
