The climate of Wengen (Switzerland)
Wengen is a health resort located at the foot of the Jungfrau Mountain
and gets a reasonable amount of hours of annual sunshine. Because of
its leeward situation the climate is milder here than in other parts
of Switzerland. During the summer temperatures may rise rapidly
causing a danger of avalanches. The picturesque village has kept a lot
of its original character; the city has banned all traffic. You can go
rafting, canyoning, hiking and mountaineering here. The Eigerwand is
for the real adventurers, this is one of the most difficult walls to
climb in the world. You can also just sit back and enjoy watching
mountain climbers doing their thing.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
