It might seem a bit unfair, but Wengen has a lot more to offer than „only” the beauty of nature. The charming little village is not only a sunny spot in the Bernese Oberland, but also host to centuries-old traditions. Below you will find some selected events that we warmly recommend to all our guests, including one of the most important sporting events in Switzerland: The world famous Lauberhorn race.

July 2019Eiger Trail
The Eiger North Face is more than just another climbing trophy: it has long become inseparable from the myths and heroic tales of those who overcame its many challenges. But the Eiger experience is not reserved for only the most daring and extreme athletes: the impressive scenery can also be enjoyed on the Eiger Trail. The scenic route leads from Grosse Scheidegg via Faulhorn and Wengen to the traverse underneath the North Face – undoubtedly the crowning highlight of each tour!
6 – 7 September 201927th Jungfrau Marathon
For almost three decades now, the best runners have been competing against each other, trying to beat the impressive Jungfraujoch. Over the classic distance of 42,195 kilometres, the competitors — 4,000 spots on the starting line are given to as many athletes each year — are faced with an impressive two thousand metres of altitude difference. A borderline experience on the most beautiful stage nature has to offer.
September 2019Alp Descent
At the end of summer season, the Alpine herds return to the valley – a century-old tradition that is still celebrated extensively today. If the summer went smoothly for humans and animals alike, everyone dresses up in their festive garb: splendid Bernese traditional Trachten (costumes) and elaborately decorated cattle amaze young and old spectators alike. An integral part of Swiss DNA!
September 2019Chäseteilet
Even more pure and unadulterated Swissness: during the big annual cheese festival, the cheese produced on the alpine pastures in summer is distributed fairly among the farmers. The tradition can be traced back to the 16th century — and to this day, hundreds of spectators from near and far are drawn to the mountains year after year. The “Chästeilet” takes place at the end of September.
17.–19. January 202090. Int. Lauberhorn Races
Since 1930, the Lauberhorn race in January has been an integral part of the ski calendar. The descent is not only the longest, but also the fastestin the world: athletes race towards the finish line with up to 160 kilometres per hour; all against a paradisiacal mountain backdrop. An unforgettable folk festival for young and old!
22 – 25 January 2020Inferno Race
The world’s biggest amateur ski race is held in Wengen. It was founded in 1928 by the British Kandahar Ski Club and has since attracted hundreds of snow enthusiasts every year, leading participants over fifteen kilometres of pistes from the Schilthorn to Lauterbrunnen, featuring flat and even uphill passages. Although the name might indicate otherwise, the friendly atmosphere, spectacular route, and incredible alpine scenery make for a rather uplifting and joyful journey.
Wine Cellar Dining
In addition to the regular wine and cheese tastings taking place in the historic basement, the wine cellar is also available for private lunch or dinner reservations. The atmospheric cellar offers plenty of space for two to six people.
Banquet and Festive Occasions
A special room for a special occasion. The historic hall gives your meeting a warm and cordial backdrop — not to mention the picturesque view. Celebrate your big days at Hotel Schönegg!
