2 nights in January
- Day 1
Arrive and walk the valley floor
Come in by train to Lauterbrunnen, drop the bags and walk out to the Staubbach Falls behind the village. In deep winter the spray freezes and the cliff turns to ice. The valley floor path is flat, lit in the village and free, which makes it the right first afternoon when the light is already going.
How to get here by train → - Day 2
Best sledge run: The Fox Run, Wengernalp → Wengen
A groomed 4.5 km toboggan run that shadows the legendary Lauberhorn downhill course. Ride the race line at your own pace.
Everything else on in January → Official source → - Day 3
Up to Mürren and the Schilthorn
The cable car lifts you out of the village to Grütschalp, then the ridge train runs to car-free Mürren. Above it sits the steepest terrain in the region and the Schilthorn at 2,970 m. Even without skis the ride up and the view from Piz Gloria are the point.

The Wengen side, and as high as you want to go
A cog railway climbs from Lauterbrunnen to car-free Wengen and on to Kleine Scheidegg under the Eiger north face, the heart of the Jungfrau ski region. Non-skiers can ride up for the view and the winter walking paths.

Over to Grindelwald
Half an hour by train puts you in the next valley. Grindelwald First and Männlichen sit on this side, and the Männlichen link brings you back over to Wengen, so you can loop rather than retrace.

15–17 Jan 2027 · The longest, fastest downhill in the World Cup, 4.4 km, 160 km/h, tens of thousands of fans in a car-free village. Wengen sells out a year ahead. Official source →
Both villages keep outdoor ice rinks through winter. Lace up for a skate or try curling high above the valley, a good call when the light is flat or the lifts are on wind hold.
