Trail running in Wengen
The Jungfrau Marathon runs through our village. The trails above it are yours – with the right shoe.
Wengen lies in the middle of running country: the Jungfrau Marathon passes Wengen station, the Eiger Ultra Trail crosses the Männlichen, and in March the Lauberhorn Run goes up the World Cup course.
Steep, rocky trails call for a shoe with grip and good support. We carry trail shoes from Hoka, La Sportiva and Merrell – and advise you on which suits your foot and your terrain.
