Trip to Wengen, Switzerland – Tuesday 27Th August 2019 to Sunday 1St September 2019 Capital Walkers- Trip to Wengen, Switzerland – Tuesday 27th August 2019 to Sunday 1st September 2019 Wengen The Bernese Oberland is a great place for walking. Wengen is a car-free village perched on a terrace in the Lauterbrunnen Valley, reached by mountain railway and with spectacular views to the high Alps. The Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau mountains make a splendid backdrop to the area. Walkers are spoilt for choice for excellent walking trails in the area with stunning scenery. The walks will range in difficulty from easy to moderate/strenuous. You might wish to extend your trip to Switzerland by either coming earlier or staying on afterwards. Wengen Accommodation I propose staying at the Hotel Bellevue, where I have previously stayed a number of times, at the edge of the village on a ‘half board basis’, as this offers good value. The hotel has 3 stars. The rooms are simple but comfortable with en-suite facilities. The evening meal included on the half board basis is five-course. It is a set menu but the hotel, will accommodate dietary requirements if advised in advance. The hotel also has a small a-la-carte menu. 1 The owner of Hotel Bellevue has offered the following discounted rates to Capital Walkers if you would like to stay there. Price per person per night in single rooms (1 person) or in twin rooms (2 persons per room) Bed and breakfast with half-board: North-facing (facing road) CHF 96.- (approx. £81) South-facing (with view) CHF 116.- (approx. £98) Bed and breakfast only: North facing CHF 80.- (approx. £68) South facing CHF 92.- (approx.£78) (The hotel may be willing to consider single use of a double/twin room depending upon availability if all single rooms booked) Website: www.bellevue-wengen.com Email: [email protected] If you book this hotel, please advise them you are from ‘Capital Walkers’. Booking details are on the hotel’s website. Payment is on departure. If you wish to extend your stay in Wengen, by a couple of days or more either before or after the Capital Walkers trip dates the hotel is offering ‘Capital Walkers’ 7 nights for the price of 6 nights. You can cancel your accommodation up to 7 days before your date of arrival at no cost. If you cancel your booking within 6 days of your booked arrival date you will be liable to pay for it. Hotel Bellevue is open to external guests should you wish to eat there but stay elsewhere. In line with Capital Walker trips you are of course free to book your own accommodation and make your own meal arrangements. If you would like hotel accommodation and travel booked and organised for you, then you might wish to consider booking a package through a specialist travel company such as The Swiss Holiday Company. (www.swissholidaysco.com) Travel I personally will be flying to Zurich Airport and on arrival taking direct trains via Bern to Wengen. On the way back, I will return to Zurich Airport by train by a longer but more scenic route via Lucerne. Alternatively, you could fly to Geneva or Basel and travel by train to Wengen. 2 Swiss train and cable-car fares are expensive, I would therefore recommend the purchase in advance of the trip of a Half Price Travel Pass (currently £96).These are available from the Swiss Travel Centre: (www.switzerlandtravelcentre.co.uk). Alternatively, if you book through a tour company the package may include a Half Price Travel Pass together with train tickets between the airport and Wengen. The Hotel Bellevue, Wengen 3 View towards Wengenalp down the Lauterbrunnen Valley Proposed walks The walks detailed below are an indication of the walks that we hope to undertake.

Crossing the river, you'll continue uphill following signs to Trachsellauenen, a small guesthouse and restaurant near a 300-year-old mining site. Continuing on, the path narrows and steepens considerably, becoming a series of over fifty shaded switchbacks. Arriving at the Hotel Tschingelhorn, views to the valley open up and signal that we are nearing 10 Obersteinberg. Obersteinberg is a traditional-style candle lit hotel dating to the 1880s and sits at an elevation of 5833 feet, a full 2850 feet of vertical ascent from our Stechelberg starting point. Path to Obersteinberg Hotel Gazing across the valley from the hotel we will have spectacular views of hanging glaciers perched above waterfalls that cascade down the valley walls. Of all the waterfalls, Schmadribachfall is the showstopper with a height of nearly one thousand feet. Obersteinberg is set within a UNESCO protected area, where many alpine species that were once hunted to near extinction are now making a welcome comeback, such as ibex, chamois, and red deer. Sheep and cows graze the rich alpine grasses in summer, as they have for hundreds of years. From Obersteinberg we will walk to the upper glacial basin in about an hour, where Oberhornsee, a deep-blue tarn rests in the shadows of snowcapped Grosshorn, Breithorn, and Tschingelhorn. Sitting in this upper basin, we will be remote and removed from the Lauterbrunnen valley bustle. We will then walk back down to Stechelberg. 11 Obersteinberg Hotel Schmadribachfall 12 Oberhornsee (Estimated local travel costs with Half Price Travel Pass, approx. £10) Sunday 1st September 2019 No walk planned 13 Insurance You will need to ensure that you have adequate travel insurance covering alpine walking, mountain rescue and medical emergencies.

The intact, pedestrian, Alpine village is located in the heart of the Swiss alps perched high on the edge of a cliff and embraced by Mother Nature herself, and one of the last car-free villages in Switzerland. It is accessible only with the Schilthorn-cableway or by foot. On icy winter nights, while the snow crunches softly under your feet, the stars are so close you could practically touch them. After a full day on the ski slopes or an impressive hike through the silent winter wonderland, you’re in the mood for a warm apple cider or spiced wine. Let yourself be enchanted by the native landscape, while skiing or hiking in the quiet winterworld. In summer the strenuous hike to the top of the Schilthorn is rewarded with an incomparable 360°- panorama view. See the ibex, chamois, and groundhogs in their natural environment. Discover forays of wild flowers like gentian and edelweiss. Travelling by car: Take the highway Bern, Thun, Interlaken, then direction Wilderswil, Lauterbrunnen and Stechelberg.

From here we followed the milky glacial meltwaters of the Lutschine River to Lauterbrunnen where we boarded the train for the last leg of our journey to Wengen, perched high on the alp above. It was a short walk to our hotel where we had time to settle in and admire the amazing scenery. It had been a very hot day with temperatures in the mid-30s and, as we enjoyed our evening meal on the terrace, we were treated to a superb alpenglow on the Jungfrau. Day 2 Monday 27th June The hot sunny weather of yesterday looked set to continue, so we took the cable-car up to Mannlichen. We were immediately in a different world, surrounded by a panorama of mountains, dominated by the imposing north faces of the Jungfrau and Eiger, and with a wealth of alpine flowers at our feet.

  • Lots of Snow on the Lauberhorn - Unfortunately No Spectators
    Verein Internationale Lauberhornrennen Postfach 385 CH-3823 Wengen Tel. +41 33 856 66 66 [email protected] www.lauberhorn.ch CHE-107.310.838 MWST Wengen, 31 December 2020 Lots of snow on the Lauberhorn - unfortunately no spectators An important test shortly before the 91st International Lauberhorn Races in Wengen has been passed: The snow inspection by the International Ski Federation FIS. The organizers are looking forward to exciting ski races in the Alpine World Cup despite the tough Corona conditions. They ask all ski fans to watch the races on TV due to the pandemic, as no spectators are allowed in Wengen. The International Ski Federation FIS checked the Ski World Cup courses on the Lauberhorn today, Friday (December 31, 2020). The snow inspection turned out to be positive throughout. Thanks to the snowfalls in the past few days, the entire mountain is covered in deep snow. This means that the slopes and also the scenery are ready for the 91st International Lauberhorn Races in Wengen. "So far this year, all in all, we have been lucky with the weather. The temperatures have been below freezing for a few days. The cold is perfect for the snow on and also off the piste," says a pleased OC President Urs Näpflin. Preparations in Wengen are on track. Please watch the races on television This year's Lauberhorn races, as in all areas of our lives, are strongly influenced by the ongoing pandemic. As is well known, the races will therefore be held without spectators. The spectator areas along the course, such as the popular Girmschbiel facing Hundschopf, Minschkannte and Canadian Corner will be closed.
