Wengen is the closest village to Jungfrau Top of Europe - probably one of the most famous and most visited sites in Switzerland. Located above the Lauterbrunnen Valley and its impressive waterfalls, Wengen offers some of the most dramatic views over the Valley up to the famous Bernese Alps triad (Jungfrau, Eiger, Mönch peaks).
With the Royal Experience, you can even taste the crisp mountain air: ride on the open-balcony of the gondola between Wengen and Männlichen, then hike to the crown shaped viewing platform offering amazing views over the Alps. Simply unforgettable...
