cane_, If you have a car a fairly common way is to drive down to the cablecar station at Stechelberg where there's a big car park and take the cable cars all the way up, if the queues are not too bad it should take just over 30 mins to get up to the Schilthorn though you do have to change cablecars a couple of times though.

Thanks a lot, I think is better way to come to the cablecar station at Stechelberg.
The ski pass cover cablecar ride, or this is some extra cost?

Well I told everyone on the 15th to expect snow Weds/Thurs this week, I guess it got slightly slowed, wonder how much snow has actually come down, I was predicting maybe a total of 15cm in Wengen, how did I do ?

Well the good news is I expect the weather to stay really cold for at least next week, the bad news is that there will be minimal snowfall, Wednesday looks like it might give 10 to 12cm of snow at Wengen levels but that looks like it, currently the following week looks like it will stay below zero but that at most there will be a light dusting of snow on or arround 02/03 of Feb

The region was lucky to get the 30cms + last week compared to most of the french resorts missing out -
Example - Les Coches France (La Plagne paradi skis area)

Lots of detail (and noise) in the weather outlook thread, but the blocking high over the Azores seems to be reluctant to move at the moment, sending all the Atlantic lows too far north to be of any use to the Alps.

I don't want to do this but ....
No snow for foreseeable future, very warm temps from Friday peaking around Sunday at +9C dropping slightly early next week but then possibly getting warmer again around Sunday 13th

DG Orf: "No snow for foreseeable future, very warm temps from Friday peaking around Sunday at +9C dropping slightly early next week but then possibly getting warmer again around Sunday 13th"
SF now looks a bit more positive about 12-13th onwards , temps dropping to around freezing and 'snow showers'.
Fingers crossed, otherwise we'll all be joining Chris up in the Engetal

I love Wengen, it is a great place to stay and it is as picturesque as any of the Swiss resorts. Godd nightlife, the list goes on, it is a favorite of mine. I wrote a blog article about it Hope it provides a good insight

Your blog is inaccurate: access to the mountain is limited to cog railways which are slow and can be frustratingly infrequent. The lack of snowmaking facilities can also be frustrating
So you didn't discover the Mannlichen cable car then, which takes 5 minutes to get you to 2200 metres, nor did you notice the millions that have been spent on snowmaking in the past few years.
If you're going to publish facts, let's make sure they're actually facts!

Oh dear, I often wondered whether or not they had train crashes in the Jungfrau! Everything seems to run with such efficiency but I guess everyone has their "off" days! Lets hope it's a very rare occurance.

It was +7C at Winteregg at 1PM Saturday just gone, very slushy in the sun, less so as the altitude increases but not looking great for the future, it seemed to just get warmer each day.
That said the skiing on the whole was pretty decent, and the temp dropped to -5 overnight which rejuvenated the slopes temporarily, but come 11AM the sun bathed spots were rather on the wet side.

The high slopes at Grindelwald although warm, were in remarkably good condition, rivalled Murren, both seemed a little better in my view than Wengen.
There's still plenty of skiing to be had, just get up early and come down a bit earlier than you might normally

Hi Guys, how is weather there? snow conditions? I was in January 22/23 (Saturday Wengen / Sunday Murren) and it was beautiful. I'm coming tomorrow morning, again.

telford_mike, as I recall several years ago a particularly strong gust of wind toppled one of the trains off the tracks above Wengeneralp which I believe is the reason they now stop the trains in especially high winds.
Fortunately such events are rare and usually result in no serious injuries because of the slow speed of the trains
Weather update, 50/50 chance of snow from Sunday, may be light rain if temps are a bit high, total snowfall won't be huge, perhaps 20cm by thursday next week.
Following week may get the odd flurry of snow but not much however from the 23rd temps look like the may well drop considerably, as per all my forecasts anything beyond a week away is likely to change
