Ken Baldry's Alpine PagesWengen in Winter |
Wengen is on a shelf above Lauterbrunnen in the South arm of the Lütschinental. It is a fantastic location & the village is Car Free!
1. Fly to Geneva. Train to Bern via Lausanne. Then see the next.
2. Fly to Bern. Either walk to Belp Station & take the train to Thun, then to Interlaken Ost. Or take the airport bus to Bern & take the train to Interlaken Ost.
3. Fly to Zürich. Take the train to Luzern, then the narrow guage Brünig line to Interlaken Ost.
4. Take the Eurostar from London St. Pancras to Paris. Take the Metro to Gare de Lyon & the Lyria TGV from there to Basel. Change (across the platform) to Bern, change to Interlaken Ost. This is the Green option.
From Interlaken Ost, take the narrow guage BOB line to Lauterbrunnen, then the even narrower guage WAB train to Wengen. Or drive to Lauterbrunnen & park there. There are plenty of hotels on the Wengen web site.
...you need somewhere to stay. We stayed in the Hotel Brunner, above the village but on the ski-slope back, so it was fairly quiet but one could ski to town.
