Wengen Ski Holidays - A Stunning Resort
The beautiful last minute ski holiday resort of Wengen can only be described as stunning. Regularly Wengen features on poeple's top last minute ski holiday destination but unlike other resorts, this is not just because of the skiing. The picturesque resort is home to some of the best views and vistas to be found anywhere. The feeling you get from the resort is awe-inspiring and really has to be felt to be believed.
Having said all this, Wengen's skiing is nothing to be sniffed at. With 100 km of perfectly manicured piste locally in Wengen and Grindelwald and a further 50 km across the valley at Mürren you have enough to keep even the most hard to please of skier entertained. The Jungfrau lift pass allows skiing at all three areas.

The main last minute ski holiday area is called the Kleine Scheidegg and is shared with Grindelwald.

The second main area, Männlichen is accessed by cable car from Wenbgen and can also be accessed form Kleine Scheidegg.
Begginer skiers on a cheap ski holiday in Wengen are very well catered for. All the ski schools have English-speaking instructors and the area has dedicated nursery slopes . Theses areas provide the perfect environment for beginners to get the basics down in a safe and friendly environment away from any intimidating experiences with more proficient skiers.
Cheap Ski Holidays in Wengen - Great Off-Piste Skiing
Intermediate skiers on a cheap ski holiday in Wengen will enjoy their time in the Jungfrau ski area. There are lots of intermediate runs around the area, on wide open runs above the tree line and also cutting back down through the trees. A highlight for intermediate skiers is the 8 km run in Grindelwald that descends from Oberjoch down to Grindelwald's 'First' ski area.
You can reach Grindelwald by an exciting 8 km run down from Männlichen. Experts will also like to try their hand at the famous Lauberhorn which is reached by a chairlift from Scheidegg. There are also plenty of off-piste opportunities to explore from that lift including the aptly named 'Oh God!' off-piste run.
Many skiers and boarders on a cheap ski holiday in Wengen like to finish of the day with the beautiful 7 km descent down into Wengen from the top of the Lauberhorn, sometimes making a quick pit stop at Mary's for a quick drink on route. Another must is to take a day trip to Mürren and enjoy the legendary 6 km black that winds its way down from the base of the Schilthorn revolving restaurant.
