Wengen is truly an iconic winter and summer destination! What more magical and moving is it to be staying within touching distance of the famous Eiger Mountain! There is something really for everyone; no matter what your age is! Although car-free in the winter, it is still possible to get around (wheelblades.ch) make a great difference if you are a wheelchair user or have a young child in a push-chair. The ski area is so easy to reach and there is an excellent beginners area just a step from the lovely hotels.
Such a warm welcome awaits you! Even curling is possible if you are in a wheelchair and with the long toboggan run; link to Grindelwald and the neighbouring Schilthorn experience above Mürren, it is such a super place to go.
The only real drawback is the lack of fully adapted bathrooms for wheelchair users - although, some do not find any problems and happy to adapt to their surroundings (everyone has different needs to it is always worth asking us). However, if you are game and happy to just be a part of the majestic environment around you, then give it a go!
If you, a friend or family member have any of the following then Wengen might work brilliantly for your ski or summer holiday. This is by no means an exhaustive list (it would be impossible to include every condition) but many have similar or common factors. As often someone may have a condition that we have not yet come across please do ask us if you are interested in the resort and we can try to help.
We do advise that if you have any health issues that might be affected by extreme temperatures; altitude or have had surgery or an on-going physical / neurological condition that might be or could be affected by being moved at speed, over rough or uneven terrain or being on or in a ski lift please do contact us for more advice before going ahead and booking your holiday. Another resort might work better for you.

If a place is listed below it will have been visited by Ski 2 Freedom or will be personally known to us.

See our note above. It will take time but the Foundation is trying to improve things a bit but each hotel has such charm and character and will help you in anyway they can - so sometimes just a little compromise may be needed!

Wengen has some beautiful hotels but although some are wheelchair accessible none have fully adapted bath or shower rooms for wheelchair users. However, we have had a number of wheelchair users staying in Wengen and it is a question of how you can adapt to the facilities on offer. We are more than happy to discuss the options for any of the hotels featured. Some may well suit those who have a young child in a wheelchair or who perhaps use a wheelchair outside but have some mobility within a hotel.

Mountain based activities, whether sporting or non-sporting, summer or winter, are empowering elements to life but please note that many may not be suitable for your condition or specific need. Activity providers, guides and instructors will often go out of their way to accommodate the needs of everyone but please understand if they are unable to do so for you. Always worth making further enquiries either via the organization responsible, the tourist office or Ski 2 Freedom.
