Beautiful stay
We loved our stay in our Wengen apartment! It’s a great place for fit people without mobility impairments. Wengen is a great jumping-off point for a stay in the Lauterbrunnen area; the train down to Lauterbrunnen comes every 1/2 hour and is only ~ 10 min. The apartment was clean, warm, well-appointed kitchen & had beautiful views. We could hear sheep and cow bells ringing from the local fields and see Staubbachfall from the windows & balcony. The front desk staff in Wengen were really helpful. -1 star because it may not be great for a some folks with mobility issues. The walk from the train station is only 1/3 mile, but most of that has a 14-20% grade (quite steep). The apt is down the steepest part of the road from most other places & there isn’t a dedicated courier. We called a taxi to take us up the 1/3 mile the last day because of an early September snow that left the streets wet and icy; carrying our luggage up a 20% grade with ice and slush wasn’t practical. The other days were fine for us, but had this trip been with my mom, we may have ended up paying 50 CHF/day just to get to and from the train station by taxi.
FYI about staying in Wengen: Going up the mountain from Wengen isn’t included with the Swiss Travel Pass, so getting up to Mannlichen or Klein Schweitzer/Jungfrau/Eiger or over to the Grindelwald valley is additional $ if you don’t want to go down & through Lauterbrunnen. Wasn’t a problem for us bc the train ride to/from Wengen is so beautiful!
