We kicked off 2017 with our innaugural trip to Wengen for big mountain free skiing and World Cup race viewing. Everything about the trip exceeded our expectations from the cozy family hotel in beautiful Lauterbrunnen, where we enjoyed the best food in the valley, to the cold beers after skiing and great company night after night. The races, cog train rides, scenery and lucky powder skiing made it really special. Last year we were super fortunate to be joined by former US Ski Team member and four time Olympian AJ Kitt. We all had such a great time and as much as we tried, nobody was able to beat AJ down a cat track or any run for that matter... maybe you will be first to smoke him in a tuck in Wengen?

We will enjoy all the race action from the Friday DH/SL Combined, Saturday Lauberhorn Downhill and Sunday Slalom Races, while skiing the best of Wengen under the shadow of the Eiger. There are multiple family run traditional restaurants on the mountain to enjoy, easy access to the racers, coaches and other characters of the World Cup. Epic freeskiing exists all around us from Murren to Grindewald, the mountains are big and empty with huge potential for great backcountry, sidecountry and guided skiing. This year we will split time between Lauterbrunnen, during the races and Murren after the races. Both our lodges offer a unique and quintessential Suisse skiing experience.

Our hotel is located below Wengen in the beautiful town of Lauterbrunnen. Nestled in a dramatic glacier valley our hotel has arguably the best food in the area - fondue, raclette, goulash, roti and local charcuterie. The area is characterized by steep slopes, long runs, and access to an amazing transport system through the Eiger, Schilthorn and the Monch & Jungfrau regions!
