The resort guide
Know the mountain before you go.
The skiing
The terrain is gentle and scenic, ideal for families and cruisers, and home to the famous Lauberhorn downhill race each January. It is not a resort for adrenaline seekers, but it is glorious for relaxed days.
The village and the evenings
With no cars, the village stays quiet and safe, and the pace is unhurried. It feels like stepping back in time in the best way.
Getting there
Fly to Zurich or Geneva and take the trains in via Interlaken and Lauterbrunnen.
