About this trip: Trip participants can ski both sides of the valley – Kleine Scheidegg and Schilthorn - double the fun. Lauterbrunnen is in the middle of the Jungfrau ski region.

On one day, you can ski the oldest and longest ski course on the World Cup circuit, the Lauberhorn, on one day, The world-famous panorama of Eiger, Monch, and Jungfrau highlights the view while 44 trains, cable cars and ski lifts connect over 200KM of ski runs. Ski trains (included in the ski pass) depart Lauterbrunnen for slopes at Wengen, Mannlichen or Kleine Scheidegg.

On the other day, you can ski the 12km, 2000 meter descent Inferno run. Additionally, you can enjoy lunch at the Piz Gloria, the rotating restaurant at Schilthorn that has magnificent views and is well known to James Bond fans.

We switched the location of this trip from Wengen (335€) to Lauterbrunnen (295€) due to member complaints about the high cost of Wengen. The high ski alrea elevation guarantees favorable ski conditions this time of year. Cross country, sledding, and snowshowing are all possible.
