Spring storm brings fresh snow to the slopes in Wengen

 

Fresh snow in the mountains this weekend but warmer temperatures in the Bernese Oberland mean it won't last in Wengen village for long.

 Pool Race, Wengen, Switzerland   16 March 2024

The annual Pool Race was held in the main square of the town at the bottom of the ski slope.  A purpose built snow pool welcomed over 100 racers who made the occasional special by dressing in all kinds of crazy outfits.  Congratulations to Nicholas Niederhäuser for his win!

Sunshine on the Männlichen, the north face of the Eiger and Grindelwald    

A beautiful day to explore the Männlichen ski area with a fantastic view of the Eiger, Grindelwald and the ski areas.  The Eiger Express is a relatively new cable car that takes you from Terminal in Grindelwald up to Eigergletscher station.  Lunch at Kleine Scheidegg tops it off!

 Spring is Arriving in Wengen!

Warmer temperatures and rain showers signal that the winter season is changing quickly.  Lots of beautiful cloud formations and a mix of rain and sun.  Daffodils are starting to appear and other spring flowers dot the fields.  Perfect weather for hiking in the Bernese Oberland!
