Wengen Switzerland Travel ポストカード

Wengen is a picturesque alpine village in the heart of Switzerland’s Bernese Oberland, perched high on a sunny terrace above the Lauterbrunnen Valley. It’s a car-free resort town, reachable only by cogwheel train, which adds to its peaceful and timeless charm. With traditional wooden chalets, flower-filled balconies in summer, and snow-covered roofs in winter, Wengen looks like a postcard brought to life. The village is a gateway to the Jungfrau region, offering breathtaking views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks. In winter, Wengen is a popular ski destination and hosts the famous Lauberhorn downhill race, one of the longest and most thrilling on the World Cup circuit. In the warmer months, it transforms into a paradise for hikers and nature lovers, with trails winding through alpine meadows, forests, and mountain ridges. Despite its popularity, Wengen retains a cozy, small-village atmosphere where you can slow down, breathe in the fresh mountain air, and enjoy the spectacular Swiss scenery all around you.
