Winter hiking in Wengen
Groomed paths, sun on the terrace and the north face in view: winter hiking only needs good boots.
The Jungfrau Ski Region has around 100 km of winter hiking trails. From Wengen you reach some of the finest by train and cable car – and the walk back to the village is often part of it.
On groomed paths, warm, waterproof boots with a grippy sole are all you need. We are happy to advise you – and wash your jacket after the season so it stays breathable.
