The Skiers' Guide to Grindelwald - Wengen

An excellent resort with SCGB REP and local instructor.
I object to being asked Ron write 100 characters!

Brilliant skiing part of the jungfrau region beautiful groomed slopes lots of varied runs and the scenery is incredible

Grindelwald is very much your typical chocolate box Swiss village. Every which way you look there is something beautiful to look at, the mountains, the buildings, the sunsets…
Transport links are excellent. Trains and buses from Interlaken arrive in the heart of the village, a short walk and you have the option of a cable car to First or mountain train to Kleine Scheidegg. These resorts rise either side of the village and both offer an excellent variety of ski runs with ski lifts and lovely restaurants that serve the obligatory hot chocolate or gluhwein, along with bratwurst and frites and cheese fondue, amongst other delicious foods.
The slopes are well groomed and well marked. A good variety of blue, red and black runs. However, it is worth mentioning there is often a abit of a crossover on these runs. A blue run can sometimes have a sudden steep bit that should probably be on a red run and equally a red run can be a really fun run, a delicious challenge, until that sneaky really steep bit sneaks in and you feel like this must be what a black run feels like. They are doable and at the end of the day, just take off your skis if you’re not comfortable and walk down!
There is nothing like breathing in the Swiss mountain air and gazing up at the mountain giants. This is my heaven on earth.

Such a lovely place, perfect size with the amount of runs you can do, lots of choice for restaurants to eat at on the slopes and a great atmosphere in the village.
People are extremely kind and friendly and I believe the value for what you get is very well priced.
Only downside is lacks a few big pointers such as no ski park for tricks and jumps and also not the most well known place for an après, could definitely have a more vibrant nightlife!

Great resort. Quiet early in the season. But quite a few slopes closed as a result. Definitely go again.

Wengen is a great place - super quiet and family friendly. Not somewhere I feel like 20-30s singles/yuppies would love (if you’re into après). A couple of good bars in Wengen village but the reason you come is for the chill, good Swiss vibes. The overall skiing experience is truly great. Overall red runs on average with a varied amount of types of slopes and types of runs (trees, wide open, steep and icy, powder etc. ). Defo worth stopping for lunch at the bottom of the black run under the Lauberhorn lift (Grindelwaldblick café) for outstanding rösti. Bellevue at Kleine Scheidegg is lovely in the sun outstanding a coffee or pint. If there’s a good dumping, worth going up Männlichen cable car and bombing it all the way down to Grindelwald to get the Eiger cable car up the other side - great run with some decent off piste. Also a good resort for some sledging if you’re into that.

A stunning ski area. Something for everyone. Efficient lift system but the area can feel a bit disjointed with the need for a bus ride to get to and from Grindelwald. But its quintessential Swiss alpine villages/mountains. A trip up to Murren is a must.

Plenty for non-skiers as well. Food is amazing. Prices range from more affordable to very expensive.

Limited runs for beginners, as no greens and blues quite difficult. But beautiful area and good amenities.

We went to Wengen as a family of four (2 beginner snowboarders and 2 experienced skiers who had not skiied in a while) in March. While it was maybe a little late in the season (lower slopes were hit and miss and the village was green), higher up was great. The slopes were very quiet and we had some runs to ourselves. Would recommend the Barunbaer hotel in Wengen!

Fantastic car-free family resort with superb ski school. Excellent infrastructure including cog trains, cable cars and fast, shielded chairlifts. Good range of slopes to satisfy beginners all the way up to the world cup black run, the Lauberhorn. Easy to get to directly by train from Geneva/Basel/Zurich within 3-4hrs. Not a massive range of apres options but you can certainly find great food and drink options on and off the slopes and find a party if you want to! Great options for non-skiers or having a no ski day, such as the Jungfrau, Schiltorn (James Bond mountain) and Grindelwald flyer. Picture postcard Swiss mountain villages.

Gorgeous and traditional resort with excellent modern uplift. One of my favourite locations on earth. Can't really beat carving turns below the north face of the Eiger

Grindewald is gorgeous. The mountains and chalets in the snow is so picturesque. A beautiful area would love to go back.

A great area for intermediates. Good for beginners who are able to progress quickly. Advanced visitors will find some areas to go off piste. Experts will struggle with serious areas of powder unless it has recently snowed heavily. Some great long runs from Männlichen and Kleine Scheidegg to Grindelwald provided the lower parts have sufficient snow.

Lovely place especially for families that include non-skiers/non-boarders who want to meet with everyone else at lunchtime. Spectacular views. Some lifts need an upgrade.

Great resort! Easy access with lifts and trains and ski pass covers a wee trip to Interlaken. Pistes were quiet and well groomed. Offpiste is expansive and good fun! If you like a terrain park, Murren and Grindelwald First are for you!

As picturesque as it gets. Great conditions and never felt too busy. Lots of choices for all levels.

Boring skiing, not well connected between Grindelwald and Murren. The only good thing about this place is the amazing views of Eiger and Jungrau.

Old school resort, with traditional elderly British clientele - not hip, banging apres. Wengen is tiniest resort Ive visited, only a few hotels, and a small village centre to explore - but very charming!
Falken hotel is amazing - in an old, traditional way, not fancy and shiny new.
Skiing extensive and varied. Wide, fast cruising pistes and challenging stuff too.
Lifts/infrastructure means lots of transferring from lifts, trains, funiculars, etc. Connected, but not simple.
Lovely ️

This is a magical place. You get the full Swiss experience here. The ski conditions were fantastic - plenty of snow, and plenty of space to make it feel safe for everyone. Very good variety of terrain. Plenty of food options on the mountain, and when you get down at the end of the day, you feel like you're in a winter wonderland. Can't wait to go back!

Most beautiful landscape and very broad ski slopes and several options to go from one side to another of the mountain as very well connecte
