The hotel can organise guided hikes or snowshoeing trips, and there’s live music in the restaurant in the evenings.

Sitting at the top of the village nursery slope, the four-star Beausite Park Hotel has earned its reputation as Wengen’s best hotel. It has stellar views to the Jungfrau and the south-facing rooms make the best of them. The five-course dinners served in the Panorama restaurant are a highlight, as is the wellness area with its indoor pool, hot tub, three types of sauna, steam room and gym.
