Wengen - Leiterhorn Scenic Loop
Grindelwald, Wengen and Mürren
Kleine Scheidegg/Männlichen
Leiterhorn trail is a popular choice in winter for a scenic snowshoe tour from Wengen, however, it's just as good and stunning in the summer. It's a relatively short hike, but will make you break a sweat on some steep ascents.

Leiterhorn trail is a popular choice in winter for a scenic snowshoe tour from Wengen, however, it's just as good and stunning in the summer. It's a relatively short hike, but will make you break a sweat on some steep ascents. It's become one of my favourites around Jungfrau Region as it offers some of the best views of Lauterbrunnen valley and is easy and budget-friendly to access, but most importantly - it offers a great escape as the trail is never busy.
