Off Piste ski guiding & touring
To experience the full extent of what Wengen has to offer, why not try some guided off-piste ski touring. Expert local guides will navigate you around the high mountain trails in safety taking you on an adventure around the world famous Eiger and high up in the Mürren-Schilthorn area. Ski touring takes skiing back to its routes, away from the crowds, in pristine natural beauty surrounded by towering peaks, glaciers and that sense of freedom. The ski tours can be anything from 1 to several days spending the evenings in mountain huts.
Generally, you need to be a good intermediate skier with some experience of skiing off-piste. And if you feel you need some extra skills, the ski schools offer a variety of off-piste clinics and avalanche awareness courses to prepare you. The Jungfrau Region has the largest concentration of glaciers in the Alps and many ski tours from Wengen start on the mightly Aletsch glacier accessed via Jungfraujoch - the highest train station in Europe at 3454m. Here are a couple of popular guided off-piste tours...
The Lötschenlücke - 1 day tour
This ski tour is one of the most popular in the Alps and starts off taking the lifts up to Kleine Scheidegg on the Grindelwald side and then catching the gog train to the Jungfraujoch. From there, you ski for 7km down the Aletsch glacier, Europe's longest at 23km, towards Konkordiaplatz. There is then a two-and-a-half-hour climb using skins to the Aletschfirn before a long and breathtaking descent in to Blatten at 1540m in the beautiful Loetschental.
Jungfrau Area Tour - 3 to 6 days
Starting at the Jungfraujoch, the beauty of this tour is that it can be as long or as short as you want it to be. It typically starts by climbing Trugberg at 3880m from where there is a lovely descent to the Kinkordia hut. This can be used as a base for a number of days giving you time to try different trails. Further afield, via the Aletsch glacier, you will spend a night in the Mittelaletsch hut and then climb the Aletschhorn at 4193m for more off-piste magic. The final ascent is on the Lotschentaler Breithorn at 3785m that gives a massive 2km descent in to Mund before taking the bus back to Grindelwald
