Hi Paddington,
Yes, there is a tourist information office in Wengen. It is near the Wengen-Männlichen cable car and you can get paper hiking maps etc.
You can also find hiking details for the Wengen area on our site here: http://www.myswissalps.com/we ngen/activities // http://www.myswissalps.com/hi king
Thanks Snowman and Lucas.
Lucas, I have seen those directions on this site. I am finding them a little difficult to follow. I think the problem is that I am lacking a large scale map of the region that I can put all the walks we want to do on it – so I can get an idea of the area. It will probably become really clear when I arrive. Thank you.

The blazed trails are shown in green on the map (after you enlarge as much as you want and go to the desired area). To draw your own tour you must register to Switzerland Mobility Plus (at a cost).
Hi Paddington
there appears to be an unofficial local map of hikes in the area which we always picked up at our hotel in Wengen but I also saw at the train station. It’s called Wandern Hiking and maps out and lists hiking times for 76 area hikes. Hike descriptions are in 9 different languages. The only advertising on the map is for The Jungfrau Travel Pass. It gives the route and hiking time for 76 area hikes but doesn’t mention distance or which way is uphill although the altitude in meters is given for many peaks and landmarks. It is free and readily available in Wengen, most likely at your hotel. Mark
