The last part of the journey leads steeply upwards! The Wengernalpbahn connects Lauterbrunnen with Wengen and via Kleine Scheidegg also with Grindelwald. Usually from Lauterbrunnen, but also from Grindelwald, Wengen can be reached by this traditional cog railway.
This is the only transport connection for the inhabitants of Wengen and therefore also for all guests.
