Wengen
Wengen is a car-free village perched on a sunny terrace above the Lauterbrunnen valley, facing the Jungfrau. It is reached only by the Wengernalpbahn railway, so your private transfer from Geneva Airport ends at Lauterbrunnen station, where you board the train to Wengen. Skiers, hikers and families avoid several changes and arrive at the station with everything in one car.

Chauffeur's tipMany Wengen hotels collect luggage at the village station. Check with your hotel before arrival so your cases are taken care of once you get off the train.
The route to Lauterbrunnen
Your chauffeur follows the A1 along Lake Geneva and via Fribourg to Bern, then the A6 to Thun and the A8 along Lake Thun to Interlaken. From Interlaken a valley road leads to Lauterbrunnen, between sheer rock walls and waterfalls, including the well-known Staubbach Falls. The 223 km to Lauterbrunnen station take around 2 h 25 in normal traffic; winter Saturdays bring more cars into the valley, and the station car parks fill quickly.
Arriving in Wengen: car-free access
Wengen is car-free. Your chauffeur drops you at Lauterbrunnen station, as close as possible to the platforms, and helps you unload luggage and skis. From there, the Wengernalpbahn cog railway climbs the slope to Wengen in a short ride, then continues to Kleine Scheidegg below the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. Hotel staff often meet guests at Wengen station with electric vehicles for luggage. Wengen is part of the Jungfrau ski region and is known for the Lauberhorn downhill course.

Can I land late at night and still get to Wengen?
