Opening February 2025, the Braunbär Hotel & Spa is Wengens newest hotel on the main street.  Located opposite the Männlichen gondola and nursery slopes, you can easily get onto the Jungfrau Ski Area each day. When you return recharge your batteries in the indoor pool, sauna and steam room. 

Great location

With a central location in Wengen, just opposite the Männlichen cable-car and a short walk to the railway taking you to the Kleine Scheidegg and Jungfraujoch, you really couldn't ask for a better situated hotel. 

Relax & Unwind

If you fancy a day off the slopes, or want to soothe your muscles after - make the most of the NUXE Spa, have a dip in the pool or recharge in the sauna or steam room. There's also a lovely outdoor sun terrace with a fireplace, overlooking the snowy scenery which surrounds Wengen. After rejuvenating in the spa, the hotels bar and lounge is a lovely spot to catch up with friends and family - there's a good selection of drinks and a fireplace for you to cosy up in front of. When it comes to dinner, you can enjoy a delicious four course evening meal in the Restaurant Braunbär, the kitchen team pride themselves on using local and seasonal produce from the region. For a unique meal, why not book an evening meal in the Fondue Gondola or the Grillkota? Both restaurant areas serve traditional Swiss fondue or raclette in unusual settings (booking required). 

Cosy Rooms

The Braunbär has been fully refurbished for the 24/25 winter season, each bedroom is furnished in a modern style with a nod to the past, and many of the rooms have views of the village and surrounding mountains. The family duplex rooms are a great option for families and friends travelling to Switzerland this winter season, with twin beds and bunk beds on the mezzanine level, plus these rooms have a balcony with village rooms. 

Wengen

  • Ski from an altitude of 2,970 metres in the Jungfrau Ski Region
  • 211 kilometres of pistes across the whole ski area
  • 27 blue, 36 red and 19 black runs

The idyllic village of Wengen is high up on a sunny, sheltered terrace with spectacular views, dominated by the magnificent trio of peaks – the Eiger (Ogre), Mönch (Monk) and Jungfrau (Maiden) – which provide a spectacular backdrop to Mürren and Wengen, and in part to Grindelwald. You'll arrive in this charming, friendly village by scenic mountain railway as it has reduced traffic, although you'll spot a few electric vehicles around.

Skiing and Snowboarding in Wengen

Home of the famous Lauberhorn downhill race this area is a skiers paradise. With the Jungfrau whole area pass you'll have access to skiing and boarding in Wengen, Grindelwald and Mürren ski areas, on the other side of the Lauterbrunnen Valley.  Take the cable-car from Wengen village centre, which links to Grindelwald’s ski area or take the mountain railway to the Kleine Scheidegg where both ski areas meet. Whatever your ski ability, you'll have the chance to enjoy the expanse of slopes and beautiful scenery. If skiing and boarding's not for you or just fancy a few day's doing other winter activities, take advantage of the amazing winter walking and sledging network. Pre book a non-skiers pass and use the lift and rail network to link the sledge runs and hiking trails. 

Development on the brand new Schilthorn cable car will be taking place over the winter 2024/25 season, limiting access to the top of the Piz Gloria/ Schilthorn mountain. The cable car will terminate at Birg, however there is still plenty of skiing in the local Murren area. 

Bars and restaurants in Wengen

There are plenty of mountain restaurants across the Jungfrau area to check out for food at lunchtime. In the small village you'll find that some of the best restaurants are in the hotels, which are largely open to the public offering a la carte menus. With the majority of our accommodation available on a half board basis, so you'll have breakfast and dinner covered. When it comes to après in Wengen, think cosy bars and elegant lounges.
