Overview
The Jungfrau region in Switzerland, located in the beautiful Bernese Alps, is a premier destination for skiing and snowboarding lovers. Encompassing the resorts of Grindelwald, Wengen, and Mürren, it offers visitors a massive network of lifts and gondolas — around 40 in total. This fantastic system provides convenient access to over 200 kilometers of slopes. The terrain is perfect for all skill levels, ranging from gentle beginner areas to steep and demanding runs for more advanced skiers.
Snowboarders will find plenty to love here, with snow parks and half-pipes, especially in Grindelwald. Off-piste opportunities are also abundant, offering adventurous skiers pristine powder along with breathtaking views of the famous Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks. After a day on the slopes, the après-ski experience is relaxed yet inviting, with mountain huts and lounges offering a mix of Swiss wine and international drinks.
Dining in Jungfrau brings a range of choices, from cozy fondue spots to high-end restaurants serving gourmet alpine fare. While the nightlife isn’t as rowdy as other ski towns, there’s still plenty of energy, particularly in Grindelwald, with lively bars and occasional live music performances. Accessibility to Jungfrau is straightforward, with convenient train connections from Interlaken, which itself is well connected to major hubs like Zurich.
One of the well known aspects of the area is the Jungfraujoch railway, where travelers can reach Europe's highest train station and enjoy amazing views of the expansive Aletsch Glacier. Putting together a great mix of top-notch skiing, breathtaking alpine views, and the cozy ambience of Swiss mountain living, the Jungfrau area provides a unique winter getaway.
