THE JUNGFRAU - TOP ALPINE REGION - A PARADISE FOR WINTER SPORTS
Under the mighty Eiger and Jungfrau mountains, the Kleine Scheiddeg- Männlichen and Mürren-Schilthorn are a paradise for snowsports - 213 km of prepared pistes combined with amazing scenery and lots of sun. The network of 45 lifts guarantees uninterrupted skiing and snowboarding on 64 well-groomed and carefully interlinked pisted runs.
EXCEPTIONAL MOUNTAIN ACTION WAITING TO BE ENJOYED
In the Jungfrau we use two practice areas with easy tows enabling beginners to build up skills and confidence before venturing onto the main runs. For intermediate skiers and riders the area provides the best variety for those wanting an exhilarating experience or simply up for taking in this awe-inspiring mountain setting. The Engetal, Salzegg and Eigergletscher runs test even the most experienced.
Thanks to its altitude, this region has a proven record for good snow conditions from December right through until the end of April, with excellent powder action following fresh snowfalls.
Each morning our local bus departs just 100 metres from our Lauterbrunnen chalet, taking us on the 5-minute journey to the mountain railway that winds its way up to Wengen and Kleine Scheidegg.
High in the Bernese Oberland region our guests love their stay amongst Switzerland’s most impressive mountain ranges including the Eiger and the famous Jungfraujoch standing at a breathtaking 13,642 feet.
THE JUNGFRAU REGION PROVIDES AN IMPRESSIVE LIFT AND TRANSPORT SYSTEM
Lauterbrunnen is also ideally placed for access to the skiing and snowboarding above the picturesque village of Mürren. From here the lift system provides a full variety of runs, rising to the famous and demanding James Bond Schilthorn black run with its year-round snow and aweinspiring panoramic views from the famous revolving restaurant.
Whilst those learning to ski or snowboard will really appreciate the excellent easy runs and chair lifts, the more experienced will want to face the challenge of the 4,331 foot descent on the route of the annual "Inferno" race - an unforgettable run and a great achievement!
TRY ICE-SKATING, WINTER WALKS AND CURLING
For a change from the slopes, the local railways from Lauterbrunnen offer a whole variety of excursions that enable you to visit some of the most beautiful and picturesque scenes in the Swiss Alps. Alternatively, take the mountain train to Grindelwald, Wengen or Mürren where there are modern sports complexes with ice-skating rinks, curling, spacious indoor swimming pools, sauna and fitness rooms. From Lauterbrunnen there are a wide variety of winter walks on specially prepared paths, not to mention the option of visiting the world famous Jungfraujoch standing at the top of Europe.
The lift pass entitles you to take the train from Lauterbrunnen and visit the lakeside town of Interlaken, nestling between the beautiful lakes of Brienz and Thun. For those not skiing or snowboarding, the area offers a cheaper Aktiv pass enabling you to travel on the local transport network and catch up with people on the mountain during the daytime.
ENJOYING THE THRILL OF SNOWBOARDING
The established Oak Hall snowboarding centre in Lauterbrunnen, run by our own team of snowboard instructors, offers you the convenience of low cost equipment hire with creative teaching every week throughout the season. It is amazing how easy it can be to learn to snowboard - a little technique provides sensational fun on the slopes!
For those who have already been playing hard, take the opportunity to improve your snowboarding techniques on some awesome runs or take some time to ride in the fun park. (For details of our excellent snowboarding instruction options please click on, "Learn to Ski or Board" above.)
THE IDEALLY LOCATED CHALET JUNGFRAU
Once again we provide the unbeatable combination of top action on the slopes with excellent alpine hospitality for your holiday at a remarkably low cost including free tea, coffee and hot chocolate at our modern Swiss chalet. I hope to be back next year for more fun. Also the talks in the evening were really good…
The standard chalet bedrooms accommodate four people in comfortable bunk rooms, with families or groups of four welcome to reserve a 4-bedded room at no extra cost.
There are also twin bedded rooms available for married couples and two rooms with a double bed and en suite facilities (per person supplements detailed below). Every bedroom has its own washbasin and there are a good number of additional facilities throughout the centre including plenty of hot showers.
There are a number of local amenities close to our chalet including a small supermarket, internet facilities, a restaurant, information bureau and cash point machine.
RENOWNED OAK HALL HOSPITALITY
Our Oak Hall catering team will provide appetising and filling meals. In the evenings our team will lead the Bible talks at our meetings, with a range of fun activities to follow for those up for more, and a warm friendly environment for those just wanting to sit and chat after another excellent day in the mountains.
AN UNBEATABLE COMBINATION UNDER THE EIGER
This area offers unbeatable skiing and snowboarding amidst incredible scenery and has been a firm favourite for many years. Many guests come back season after season knowing what a great combination of accommodation and pistes are available.
