Wengen vs Mürren - Rick Steves Travel Forum

Wengen or Grindelwald - Rick Steves Travel Forum
Feb 1, 2022 · Wengen and Mürren have very different “vibes” to me, with Wengen feeling more resort-y, in an old-Europe style way. Many large, rather grand hotels with spa facilities. Mürren has a couple of those, but most hotels are more in the mountain chalet style, and the focus of the town is more on serious mountain sports like skiing, hiking, and ...

Wengen - Rick Steves Travel Forum
Jun 23, 2017 · Wengen is small, so you can easily walk through town and check out restaurants that appeal to you.

Local Montreaux/Wengen/Lucern Restaurants - Rick Steves Travel …
May 10, 2022 · Wengen is pretty small and there are not a lot of 'hidden gems' as far as restaurants go.

Murren Vs Wengen Vs Grindlewald? - Rick Steves Travel Forum
Apr 24, 2018 · Murren and Wengen are both high alpine villages not accessible via roads/vehicles. Grindelwald is in a valley accessible by cars and many many tour buses dropping loads of daytrippers. To me, that's enough of a reason to choose the car-free villages.
Stay in Wengen or Interlaken or...? - Rick Steves

Interlaken is an old resort town on the lakes; lots of big fancy hotels and yes, more choice of pubs and restaurants, but Wengen has enough to keep you busy for 2 or 3 nights. Or try Grindelwald, which has a bit of traffic but is in a very scenic valley surrounded by towering peaks.

Muerren vs Wengen? - Rick Steves Travel Forum
Jan 26, 2016 · The problem with both Wengen and Murren is that while they are pretty towns in beautiful locations, once you are there, you are there and have to take a train or an aerial tram to see any place else.
