Visitor Reviews of Wengen
Ranger dad from Germany writes:
It’s Wengen, all the history and mystic is richly deserved. It’s like skiing in a postcard. With great terrain. The Wiki lift and Lauberhorn lift are the best bits. The Valley runs are epic. The new Eiger express is perhaps the best lift I have ever taken.
