Activity Holiday in Winter in the Swiss Alps
The Jungfrau Region, a particularly beautiful Destination
The ski resort around the villages of Wengen, Grindelwald and Mürren is considered to be one of the top spots in the Alps. A total of more than 200 kilometres of ski runs and valley runs leave no wishes unfulfilled. Winter hikers, curlers and sledders also get their money’s worth in the Lauterbrunnen Valley.
Sledging
Over 50 kilometres of sledging runs: No matter what appeals to sledging fans, they will find all their tastes catered for in the Jungfrau region. Those who enjoy tactical manoeuvres take the fox run next to the Lauberhorn route to Wengen. Enthusiasts who appreciate sledging diversity will find it in Mürren and on Männlichen. Perservere in the hike from Grindelwald-First to Faulhorn and you’ll be rewarded with the longest descent in the world. And those who are really lusting after adventure must venture the Jungfrau Eiger run – at night.
You do not have a sledge? No problem, you can rent a seldge in every sports store in Wengen.
Skiing
It simply has style – Drawing curves with your skis right in front of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. Many paths lead to the largest ski resort in the Jungfrau Region, which connects Kleine Scheidegg and Männlichen.

In the Grindelwald-Wengen ski area, you can even race down the world-famous Lauberhorn run. No kidding. Well, maybe it would be better to take the descent a little more leisurely. The thing is quite steep. It is a ski area which has a lot to offer for beginners as well as for experienced skiers.
Curling
