I guess it would be fun to visit Muerren, Wengen and Grindelwald. If you're planning to cover the whole area, one day should be spent in the "First" area, which is at the far side of Grindelwald, and a right pain to park at if it's busy. So get up there really early if you're driving - otherwise there's a shuttle bus from the station. The other bits of Grindelwald and Wengen are all accessible from either side, so you can start from Grund or Lauterbrunnen and work your way around and back, but I'd tend to prefer Grund, as you can ski all the way back to the car park, whereas you need to take a train back down the other way. Again, it depends if you're driving or not. Any tips on which day would be best for each? Weather dependant, really. Going up to the top of Muerren is best on a clear day, for the views if nothing else. It's also quite exposed, so wrap up if it's cold. Any ideas which is best for beginners and intermediates? There's a dedicated "Beginner's Park" at Kleine Sheidegg, but other than that any of the areas would be suitable, as they've all got a fair range of slopes. -- Ace (brucedotrogers a.t rochedotcom) Ski Club of Great Britain - http://www.skiclub.co.uk All opinions expressed are personal and in no way represent those of the Ski Club. |

I agree completely with Ace, but just to add: I'd aim for Grindelwald First
on the quietest day, which for you I guess will be the Friday, if you really want to go there. But you don't have to go there at all; there is more than enough to keep you happy at Kleine Scheidegg/Maennlichen (above Wengen) for two days, and Muerren for another one.
