Trip overview

This alpine getaway is designed for two adults seeking an atmospheric and culinary-focused escape in the Swiss Alps. Your base is the charming village of Wengen, where you arrive by train and immediately leave cars – and much of the everyday rush – behind. Surrounded by dramatic cliffs and snow-capped peaks, the atmosphere is peaceful yet lively, especially in the evenings when the village lights reflect on the snow.

The highlight of your stay is the Cheese Fondue Float, a curated experience that combines iconic Swiss flavors with sweeping mountain panoramas. While you enjoy a rich, melted cheese fondue and a glass of Swiss wine or beer, your host will share local stories and insights into alpine life. The rest of your time in Wengen is flexible: you can simply relax and wander through the village, or add on ski, hiking or panoramic excursions to complete an unforgettable winter break in the heart of Switzerland.
