Directions & Parking facilities

From Basel and Geneva, the fastest route to the Jungfrau Region is via Bern. From Zurich, the route via Lucerne and the Brünig Pass is recommended. The pass is open all year round.

From the south, the arrival is via the Grimsel or Susten Pass into the Jungfrau Region. Both passes are only open in summer. Alternatively, the Simplon Pass with a subsequent car shuttle through the Lötschberg Tunnel is an option.

Wengen is car-free. If we arrive by car, we must leave it in Lauterbrunnen and take the train. The journey from Interlaken to Lauterbrunnen takes about 20 minutes.

Arrival Lauterbrunnen

Directly below Lauterbrunnen station there is a multi-storey car park. Alternatively, the car park near Lauterbrunnen church can be used. From here, a bus leaves for the station every half hour. On foot it takes about 10 minutes.

Car Park Lauterbrunnen

A covered passage leads from the Lauterbrunnen car park to the trains to Wengen.

Thanks to its central location in Europe, Switzerland is served by international trains from over 12 countries. Within Switzerland, Intercity trains run directly from Basel and Lucerne to the Jungfrau Region. Travelers from Zurich change trains in Bern. The trains run every half hour.

From Interlaken Ost station, we reach Wengen in 44 minutes. With the blue-yellow train of the Bernese Oberland Railway (BOB) we get to Lauterbrunnen. Important: We sit in the front part of the train, as it splits in Zweilütschinen. Those who sit in the back will take a detour to Grindelwald. In Lauterbrunnen, we change to the yellow-green train of the Wengernalp Railway (WAB). It takes us to Wengen in 12 minutes.
