About ski lessons in Wengen
Wengen is car-free and reached only by the cog railway from Lauterbrunnen, which keeps it quiet even in high season. The nursery slopes near the village suit beginners and children, and from there you can ski into the wider Jungfrau region and its 214 km of runs. The Lauberhorn, home to the longest downhill race on the World Cup circuit, drops right through the area. On the same lift pass it pairs naturally with Grindelwald and Mürren. Arrange your lesson directly with a school in the village.
