Out and about nearby
The main focus of your stay here will be the Jungfrau. Take the time to journey up to Jungfraujoch, Europe's highest railway station to appreciate the views over the valleys, villages, and mountaintops below. Wengen itself is a car-free resort that attracts enthusiastic ramblers, who come to visit the Mannlichen and Kleine Scheidegg. Over 500km of walking trails vein the landscape, linked together by 15 mountain cableways. Timber houses and houses from the Belle Epoque period populate the town, providing fascinating sights while walking around the small village. As the village is protected from the wind by the Jungfrau, Wengen makes for a beautiful warm summer destination. Venturing further outside Wengen will take you to Lauberhorn village, a very traditional small settlement, where the houses are sparsely scattered across the lush green valley plains.

We particularly loved the Hotel del Sogno on Lake Garda for its character, beauty and amazing views. Great service too from the reception staff. Also they gave us great recommendations for restaurants.Mr and Mrs S, June 2023

Luxury bespoke holidays and tours to Hotel Silberhorn, Wengen
At the foot of the Jungfrau, in the village of Wengen, the four star Hotel Silberhorn is an impressive mountain lodge with a traditional restaurant and spa facilities. From the outside, the hotel is welcoming and bright, with a soft yellow facade and terracotta roof. The traditional feel is broken by the glass-walled spa building at the front of the building, which is the perfect place to enjoy the views of the surrounding mountains. The Spa at the Hotel Silberhorn aims to immerse clients in complete relaxation, with the Jungfrau setting the scene and the tone. Enjoy the outdoor whirlpool, the Finnish sauna, the steam bath, and the mountain-view relaxation area one evening after a day exploring the mountains up close. The modern design of the tranquil rooms takes its colour scheme from the views out of the panoramic windows, therefore ensuring that Switzerland's natural landscapes remain the focus of your stay here. Five-course dinners are served in the light and modern main dining room, where the natural resources of the area take pride of place. Wooden floors and ceilings add warmth, which is complimented by the white table cloths and golden lighting. The Restaurant Silberhorn-Stube has a more authentic, traditional feel, with a stepped wooden ceiling, large local-themed artworks on the walls, and wooden furnishings upholstered in neutral patterns. During the summer months, guests can dine outside on the sun terrace while admiring the stunning views of the Jungfrau. We would recommend guests sample the exceptional examples of quintessentially Swiss cuisine during their stay, including raclette, fondue, and schnitzel. The guestrooms themselves have the same warmth as the restaurants and the exterior; golds and oranges decorate the curtains, headboards, and bed sheets, and in larger rooms, plush oversized soft furnishings provide a comfortable, private place to relax. The four star Hotel Silberhorn is a homely and welcoming hotel in the Bernese Oberland, making the perfect stop-over for a few nights exploring Wengen, Interlaken, and Brienz as part of a longer Swiss rail journey.

About Bernese Oberland
An Expressions tailor-made holiday to the Bernese Oberland encompasses jagged Alpine peaks, over 800 lakes, dense forests of evergreen trees, and the chiming cowbells and rustic lodges of authentic towns and villages. The Bernese Oberland certainly captures the best of the Swiss natural landscape and culture. A stay here as part of a rail touring holiday is suited to those who seek an active sports holiday spent climbing, hiking, kayaking, and windsurfing, as well as those looking for a relaxing opportunity to soak up the sublime panoramas from the terrace of a gourmet restaurant or from the edge of a pool. Nestled into the steep valleys dusted with rich green vegetation, are beautiful chocolate box villages that border the many serene lakes. Mystical grottos have been carved into the rock by centuries of melting and re-freezing ice. Twisting rivers and streams have etched out their pathways down the mountainsides, flowing tranquilly in places and turbulent in others. Some of our favourite places in the Bernese Oberland include: Interlaken, poised majestically on the thin stretch of land between Lake Brienz and Lake Thun; Wengen, a picturesque village clustered between sheer rock faces; and Grindelwald, a village overlooked by harsh snowy peaks, the famous Jungfrau, and the Gletscherschucht glacial gorge.
Highlights of the Bernese Oberland
As a place of incredible natural beauty and the birthplace of skiing, the Bernese Oberland is a destination with a host of possibility for active and cultural activity. Essential to any visit to this region is the Jungfraujoch glacier, known as the Top of Europe, accessible via the narrow cog railway (Jungfraubahnen) up to the Jungfraujoch train station, standing at 3,454m above sea level. The Peak Walk suspension bridge, crossing between two peaks above Glacier 3000, reaches a thrilling 107m long and affords walkers magnificent views of the Matterhorn, the Mont Blanc Massif, the Eiger, the Monch, and Jungfrau. We also recommend visiting the area around Grindelwald, from which it is easiest to board a rail trip to Jungfraujoch, to see the Aletsch Glacier, the longest glacier in Europe, and begin a hike or mountain walk through the Lauterbrunnen Valley. The adventure sports centre of Interlaken is perfect for lake swimming, boat cruises, hiking, biking, horse-riding, and water sports. One of the area's quirkier landmarks is the Big Pintenfritz, Europe's longest toboggan run, reaching 15km in length and descending a total of 1,631m.
Festivals in the Bernese Oberland
The festivals and celebrations in the Bernese Oberland tend to revolve around the prominence of winter sports, such as the AUDI FIS Ski World Cup in Adelboden and the International Lauberhorn ski races in January; yet, during the summer and autumn months, there are many more that celebrate Swiss culture and tradition. Unique in the winter months, however, is the Belle Epoque week in Kandersteg, when the Belle Epoque era is embodied in a series of sporting and social events. In July and August, the Lake Thun Festival brings the peaceful lakeside alive with musicals and productions from all over the continent. In October, the AlpKultur Festival in Lenk im Simmental pays homage to all aspects of the region's traditions for a period of two weeks, with an Alpine festival, Hornussen tournaments (a type of Swiss ball game), and a range of interactive workshops.
Gastronomy in the Bernese Oberland
Like much of Switzerland, cheese makes up a large part of the regional food production. The Diemtigtal, in the west of the Bernese Oberland, is the largest Alpine cheese-making area in Switzerland, and so is the optimum place to visit an authentic mountain dairy. Many farms will serve breakfast or lunch alongside a cheese-tasting, or allow visitors to watch the cheese as it is made. The organic dairy on the Schwarzenberg Alp in the Wiriehorn area is one such as this. The AlpKultur Festival in Lenk in Simmental offers visitors the opportunity to briefly live life as a mountain farmer: helping with milking, cheese-making, looking after the animals, visiting farmsteads, and sleeping in the Alps.
