About the ski resort Jungfrau - Grindelwald, Wengen, Mürren & Interlaken
Jungfrau - Grindelwald, Mürren and Interlaken- Ski Holidays With So Much
The Jungfrau - Grindelwald, Mürren and Interlaken ski areas and resorts are often considered as not only one of Europe’s most historic skiing areas, but also one of its most stunning and photogenic—as it so happens, “Interlaken” means “between the lakes”. Jungfrau - Grindelwald, Mürren and Interlaken skiing redefines the boundaries of good and great skiing—of course, the latter class is what is found here in the Jungfrau region of Switzerland—this not only includes Grindelwald, Mürren and Interlaken but also Wengen. In Grindelwald (Berne), an English fellow named Gerald Fox back in the early 1880s strapped his skis on inside his bedroom, pranced out through the front bar and hit the slopes. Since then, numerous skiing and snowboarding enthusiasts followed, of course lacing up boots and strapping on skis and boards out-of-doors. Jungfrau - Grindelwald, Mürren and Interlaken and all the Jungfrau Top Ski Area has access to 213 km of slopes. There are around 20 ski lifts in Grindelwald alone capable of handling 40000+ skiers and boarders per hour, so queues never get long and head up the mountain quickly. Going from the one resort to the next, however, sometimes requires a small rail or coach ride. Grindelwald to Mürren, for instance, necessitates jumping on transport, as Mürren is not lift linked. There are 81 total slopes and one maximum vertical drop of nearly 2200 meters over 16 km. The blue runs have 70 km, the red runs 105 km and the black runs 19 km. If it feels as if intermediates get unfair and better treatment, it’s just that most skiers are neither expert nor beginners but somewhere between. One ski pass gives total access to the entire Jungfrau region, with the Bern airport only 70 km away and the railway dropping skiers and snowboarders off at any one of three onsite train stops.
Jungfrau - Grindelwald, Murren and Interlaken Accommodation:
Two- to five-star hotels await those who cannot wait to hit the slopes. The hotels and apartments in the Jungfrau area of Switzerland have so much to offer, it is hard to list all the available amenities here. Panoramic mountain views, lakeside cottages and chalets and independent lodges and hostels are just a smidgen of the top choices. Some of the accommodation offer spa and massage services while others have onsite bars, discos, restaurants and activities; some have it all. Lake Lodges, Backpacker hotels, and family centered chalets are just the tip of the glacier in Jungfrau.
Jungfrau Interlaken : A Ski Vacation Between The Lakes
Up in the canton of Bern in Switzerland lies one of the most attractive skiing destinations in Europe - Interlaken - the name a derivative of inter lacus or "between the lakes", referring to the Thun and Brienz Lakes on either side of the town. Interlaken is quite small, but tourist, skiers, backpackers and hikers tramp through to take in the beautiful scenery, especially the jumbo Jungfrau at 4158 meters in the distance. The small town surprisingly has two funicular railways and two railway stations. Interlaken is part of The Jungfrau Top Ski Region, encompassing over 160 km of trails. The median ski run length is six to twelve kilometers, offering a different ski area for each day of the week, accessible with the Jungfrau Sportpass.
