Winter Sports in Lauberhorn

Ski and snowboard 110 km of piste in Lauberhorn between 1274-2320m

Truly one of the world's greatest and oldest winter sports destinations underneath the mighty Eiger, Jungfrau and Mönch. The legendary mountain railways make this car-free village one of the most accessible resorts to get to, and the range of skiing, snowboarding and winter walking options is huge.  It is not possible to get from Mürren or access the First areas from Wengen but there is a cable car to the Männlichen area between Grindelwald and Wengen and also a train to Kleine-Scheidegg to ski the legendary Lauberhorn, the setting for the toughest and most famous ski race in the world. The ski school is located opposite the railway station and the beginners slopes are conveniently located a hundred metres away, next to the Männlichen cable car.

Ski and Snowboard Lauberhorn

Best of the Slopes

The Lauberhorn is a legendary race but, essentially, the rest of the season it is a run anyone can take. Not as tough for a cruise as it is as a race, it does have the steep (but avoidable) Zielschuss section towards the end.

Where to Eat and Party

With fabulous views of the Eiger, lunch at the Hotel Jungfrau at Wengernalp (+41 33 855 16 22) is an expensive but essential treat. One of the best mountain restaurants in the world. The station buffet at Kleine Scheidegg is good value and good grub, and the Tipirama wigwam there gets lively late afternoon. The Start Bar on the Lauberhorn is good too. In Wengen there is the Tanne bar, Eiger Bar and Crystal bar and the Hasenstall in the Silberhorn carries on late.
