Overview

Wengen has been open for over 8 years.

Wengen has a large vertical rise (3,445ft). As a guide, skiers will generally not be skiing top to bottom all day as the range is too great. Skiers would typically stop a number of times when skiing top to bottom and only the fittest skiers would be able to ski top to bottom without stopping. Wengen has mostly beginner and intermediate runs so advanced and expert skiers may become a littled bored if they are feeling like a challenge. With only 15 trails, you will probably become familiar with the whole ski area quite quickly.
