Lying at an altitude of almost thirteen hundred metres and with the highest lift reaching almost three thousand metres, Wengen has a good snow record.

The Jungfrau area has over two hundred kilometres of pistes with runs to suit all ability levels in skiing and boarding. It is a family friendly resort accessed by rail and is therefore virtually traffic free which is always a bonus for those with children. The ski schools offer tuition from the age of three.
