Grindewald & Wengen, Switzerland
Two villages beneath three icons.
Grindelwald and Wengen sit beneath the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau, sharing a ski area that sweeps across Kleine Scheidegg, the Lauberhorn and Männlichen. Grindelwald is the larger and livelier base, with the modern Eiger Express reaching Eigergletscher in just 15 minutes, while Wengen offers a quieter, completely car-free village perched above the Lauterbrunnen Valley. Together they are ideal for skiers who want classic Swiss scenery, genuine village atmosphere and varied terrain, with access to the wider Jungfrau Ski Region adding even more scope for exploring.
