slopes right by the village and others up on the Hohwald and Bargelegg
lifts. great longer runs by the railway to Kleine Scheidegg,
especially the scenic (and easy) blue Mettlen-Grund. |
|
| fantastic
terrain for intermediates. the full area Jungfrau Top Region ski pass
covers all the pistes providing almost unlimited scope ranging from
gentle confidence boosters to more testing routes down the Kleine
Scheidegg mountain. Try the 8km run from Oberhoch down to Grindelwald.
popular with families, largely due to long, gentle cruising runs. take
the route under the gondola down to Grund. have a go at the satisfying
red run from Oberlager down to the Hotel Wetterhorn, have a drink,
then bus it back to Grindelwald. the large number of t-bar lifts may
be off-puttting. |
|
| quite a
limited area for experts. try the famous Lauberhorn World Cup downhill
piste, or the Black Rock run starting at the base of the Eiger. later
in the season, this is one of the first runs to close. If your eager
for more, head over to Mürren for the almost vertical Kanonenrohr! for
more adventure, try the heli-trips |
|
| two half
pipes in the region and excellent runs for beginners. try the Oberjoch. |
