From Interlaken Ost, take the train to Lauterbrunnen, then the Wengernalp Railway up to Wengen. For the Kleine Scheidegg slopes, continue uphill by train from Wengen. You can take the train back down to Wengen and Lauterbrunnen when you finish skiing.

Arriving by car: Lauterbrunnen station car park; continue to Wengen by train. Wengen is car-free. Park in Lauterbrunnen and take the Wengernalp Railway to Wengen; stay on or change for the uphill train towards Kleine Scheidegg as your journey requires. Parking details ↗

Your plan for Kleine Scheidegg to Wengen (36).

Who it suits. Blue-run skiers who want a longer journey rather than a short repeat lap. Watch the full descent first: a blue village return is a bigger commitment than a few turns beside a chairlift.

Get to the run
Board the uphill train at Wengen for Kleine Scheidegg. At Kleine Scheidegg, find the blue 36 signs towards Wengernalp, then continue on the signed blue route through Allmend towards Wengen.

Worth knowing. Lauberhorn 45 is the black racecourse. Red 43 and 46 are also separate options on this side. Follow the blue route at junctions, and check that each lower section is open before committing to the village descent.

If you’ve had enough

Shorten the descent with the train

At Kleine Scheidegg, choose the train if you do not want to start the descent. Once skiing, Wengernalp and Allmend give you places to stop before the lower sections.

Route order · use the ski map for positions

  1. Ski

    Follow the signed blue 36 route to Wengernalp or Allmend if you choose to ski part of the descent.

  2. Train

    Leave the ski route at the railway station and take a downhill train to Wengen.

What this avoids. The remaining ski descent to Wengen. Lauberhorn 45 and red 43 / 46 are separate routes, not shortcuts to the station.

Check the day’s trains and the open blue sections before leaving Kleine Scheidegg. You still need to ski to reach a station once you have started.
