Mountain Biking
Mountain biking in the Jungfrau Region has something for every skill level. From world class downhill tracks to scenic cross country rides for the more casual rider. Nearly everything is accessible by train or cableway and you can rent traditional mountain bikes or electric mountain bikes in Wengen. If you’re not sure, we recommend the e-bikes so you’re sure to see as much as possible.
Skiing & Snowboarding
For over 90 years, Wengen has been home to the world famous Lauberhorn Downhill ski race. It is the longest downhill race in its category. While Wengen offers this epic downhill course for the FIS Ski World Cup athletes, the Jungfrau Ski Region caters to all skill levels, with three mountain ranges and about 206 kilometers of perfectly prepared pistes. Regardless of skill levels, there is something for everyone.
Sledging
You no longer need to hike up small hills for 10 seconds of fun. The Jungfrau Ski Region has many dedicated sledging runs accessible by train or cableway. Some of these runs can last as much as 15-20 minutes, depending on experience.
Winter Hiking
Every avid hiker can attest to the beauty of hiking in the winter. With winter hiking trails prepared just for that, you will love the fresh mountain air and the beautiful sound of snow crunching under your shoes on every step you take. There truly is something magical about Wengen in winter.
Skydiving
We have logged thousands of skydives around the world and can attest... This is truly one of the most beautiful places on the planet to make a jump. There are several drop zones in the area--some cater to first time jumpers and some cater to experienced jumpers with their own gear.
BASE jumping
No kidding. the Jungfrau region is home to some of the best BASE jumping in the world. Even if you aren't a jumper it's fun to watch in Summer!
Paragliding
