The Jungfrau is the third highest peak in the Bernese Alps and one of the most beautiful mountains in Switzerland.

The Jungfrau Top Region includes three peaks: Eiger (3,970 m), Monch (4099 m) and Jungfrau (4158 m).
On the slopes of this resort, thousands of skiers practice their skiing skills on an annual basis and snowboards, interspersing the snow with a cheerful apres ski.

Jungfrau trails
The resort unites three towns - Grindelwald ), Wengen (Wengen) and Murren (Murren). There is also a transport hub and a simply charming town of Interlaken, where all trains from the villages of Jungfrau arrive.
Adepts of cross-country skiing are waiting for more than 40 km of trails at the resort, of which 30 km are located near Grindelwald, 12 km - near Lautterrunnen and 2 km from Mürren.
The main 15 km long toboggan run of the resort goes along the route Faulhorn-Bussalp-Grindelwald, one more stretches for 6 km from Mannlichen to Holenstain. Another three kilometers of illuminated track go from Isenfluh to Lauterbrunnen
Wengen
Wengen is the Kleine Scheidegg massif (Kl61 Scheidegg, 2961 m) - Mannlichen (2230 m), dividing the area into two parts. This largest region in the region of skiing is ideal for "medium" skiers - neophytes the snow in the lower part of the slopes does not seem too comfortable, and the "pro" does not really have enough difficult trails. The experts will only be interested in the uppermost areas: with the Eigergletscher (2320 m) you can go down towards Wengernalp (1873 m), from there the chairlift lifts to Lauberhorn (2473 m)
But the main "hit" - Take the train to the summit of Kleine Scheidegg, from where you can go down to Wengen, then go up to Mannlichen and roll down to Grindelwald. Nevertheless, on Lauberhorn and Mannlichen even though there are steep slopes, most are still designed for relaxed slipping.The most famous in the whole Jungfrau district is the "black" Lauberhorn-Rennstrecke - hard and sometimes quite difficult: its length is 4250 m, the height difference is more than a kilometer
Feest
On the southern slopes the valley is the skiing area of the First (2168 m) - it's the most convenient way to get to the guests from Grindelwald. Trails start at Oberjoch (2501 m), their total length is about 50 km. There are nine lifts. Descent below the gondola lift from Fest to Bort (Bort) is quite risky. Above Fest, the slopes become more flat. Wonderful descent through the valley from the highest point of skiing - Oberjoch through Hohwald stretches for 10 km.
Everything for snowboarding
The Jungfrau district also enjoys a well-deserved popularity with snowboarders: for them at the intermediate station Schreckfeld (1955 m) built a half-pipe, and at the very top in Oberyokh - also a big fan park. Another fan park with half-pipe and a twister bar is in Mürren, and one half-pipe at the summit of Obere Hubel (2437 m)
