Visitor Reviews of Wengen
Alastair Lauder from United Kingdom writes:
I have a question for those who have written reviews. Wengen sounds ideal
For our family trip, as we have a 4 and 7 year old and like to take it easy. But I can’t handle queuing for ski lifts, we go at February half-term so to avoid queues we avoid any resort favoured by Brits. One reviewer mentioned it was busy over Feb half-term. Question is how busy? Like good busy but still never queue more than a few mins for a lift or mostly just walk onto lifts? Or big queues for lifts?
