Early December in Wengen? Worth staying here for a night or two?

N payne · 2024-01-16T22:42:15+01:00

We are getting an early start on Christmas market trip planning for next December Our plan is to come from Strasbourg to Basel (spend some time and visit the market) and head to Interlaken for the Golden Pass to Montreux. We will fly out of Geneva back to Vancouver. We have a couple of nights around Interlaken and our preference is to stay in a mountain village (we loved Murrin last visit and would like to see Wengen) It is early December so looks like some places are closed? Is Wengen still worthwhile at this time of year for a night or two to experience the ambience, scenery and potentially the Jungfrau? Thanks again! Nancy

Hi Nancy,

For sure I think a stay in Wengen (https://www.myswissalps.com/town/wengen/ ) would be worth it. If the weather is favourable, you’ll witness and enjoy some beautiful views of the valley. Some trails could be open for some hiking too, weather permitting. Jungfraujoch is open all year round. Majority of the cable cars/gondolas will be operating too.

Activity suggestions for the area can be researched in the below link, including all details for a visit to Jungfraujoch:
- https://www.myswissalps.com/region/jungfrau-region/
You can research the operating dates for each attraction via “Operation dates, schedules and timetable” sections or via the Swiss timetable (https://www.myswissalps.com/travel/public-transport/timetable/)

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Yolanda
