I love sunny days and I love skiing. It is not surprise I highly enjoy day trip to the ski slopes of Jungfrau Region last week. The sun was out, the snow was despite warm weather good and I had a great company. The day was absolutely perfect.
Männlichen slopes
This was not my first visit of Jungfrau region. I have been there before, most recent in January in Mürren. This time, I’ve returned to Grindelwald and my favourite slopes of the region – to Kleine Scheidegg – Männlichen. I like this area because it offers broad variety of slopes of all difficulties which are well connected. You can easily ski from Kleine Scheidegg to Männlichen and back (or reverse) without even taking your skis off.
Kleine Scheidegg – Männlichen ski map
We started our ascent to the mountain from the village of Grindelwald. From there there are two possibilities to go up to the mountain: by railway to Kleine Scheidegg or by cable car to Männlichen. We took the train because one of my companions never rode mountain train before. After a 35 minutes of scenic ride we’ve arrived to the top.
Mountain Railway route which takes you from Grindelwald to Kleine Scheidegg.
Kleine Scheidegg – Männlichen lies at the foots of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau mountains. The views from here are to me even more stunning than the views from neighbouring Mürren or Grindelwald-First.
At the Lauberhorn piste, where the famous Lauberhorn World Cup race is held every year.
A nice addition to the classic ski-resort offer are photo points where you can take your photos and later download it from the internet, speed check where you can measure your speed and ski movie where you can film your run – all included in the price of a ski pass.

I’m not a skier whatsoever, but I am DYYYING to go to Grindelwald and Murren! I’ve been obsessing about it this whole winter and just absolutely know I HAVE TO GO, but probably next winter! #MondayEscapes

I have Venice booked for my bday in February and I just joked with my boyfriend last night maybe we should cancel that and go to Switzerland instead! Maybe I might!

lol. 🙂 Venice are nice too! 🙂
BTW, I know you don’t ski, but there are currently 2-for-1 offers available for Grindelwald, Mürren, Wengen and Interlaken. It’s a good deal worth checking out: http://www.jungfrau.ch/en/tourism/shop/2for1-package/ 😉
We also used our Ski passes two years ago to go sledding, so this offer might be interesting for you. 😉
