In that price range perhaps the Falken would suit as long as you dont mind the comfy Victorian furniture and the Austrailian barman. It is up a small hill about 130 metres from the station but you are at the top of the nursary slope so you can ski down to the Cable car.

Why not give the old lodge a ring? I can't think of anywhere that for the price is closer to town/the train station, it's just behind the co-op, moved up from the mittaghorn which was at the end of the earth.

masmith, Possibly the Bernerhof at the end of the high street, for something between the Falken and the Old Lodge in terms of both accomodation and price

I've stayed in the Hirschen, and was happy with it. A short walk from the station...but if you can ski back to the village then the piste goes past the front door.

ah I forgot to add, the old lodge is self catering, they have a huge kitchen downstairs for guests use. Just incase you thought it was meals included or something.

The Aussie barman is great, as is the pianist who was there tinkling the ivories the new year before last! Is he a regular?

Terry's a regular behind the bar, think there are a couple of pianists who appear during the season.

looks like it's the same story in Wengen as in St Anton !
have contacted all hotels recommended above, so far Hirschen and Old Lodge have replied ... no room at the inn. Perseverence is the order of the day, and maybe hope for the odd cancellation.

Phone them. They're not all particularly email-savvy.

I can but you won't like it 
To be fair it's alright, and has a nice wellness thing.

stab, no, go on ... please.
Ideally we'd just want a no frills, comfortable place. This place appears a bit more grandeur than we'd like but so far is the only option ! So, if you have bad news, let rip ..... !

Chris Brookes, yes you did, yes you did, but so far have only got an option at the Valley Hostel for £10 per night ... and even then only for the first 2 of 3 nights. No frills is one thing, bunks and communal showers etc another ... not out of the question but not at that stage yet

hehe I'm just playing, it's basically a swiss hotel for the swiss. Nice place really.
Have you tried the sunstar? I'm just trying to think of places I know now that maybe have low bookings. I'm suprised the lodge was full.

Not out of the question but as this is our first time in this area and we only have 4 days we'd prefer to be more central.
Have you stayed at the ValleyHostel ?[/quote]

I'll get you a web address tomorrow, they look after chalet type things for rent. Normally dump the parents in one if they come over.
Failing that try Clare, http://www.chaletwengen.ch/
she may be able to do something and if not she will know of something.
Can't guarantee what the prices are though.

No, no horses allowed at all.
It's basically train station, some places, victoria lauberhorn, the cable car. It is bang in the middle.

The Victoria is about midway from the station & the cable car....and they are only 2mins apart!!
It is possible (snow permitting) to ski back to just above the station, or to the cable car....however te run to the cable car includes a small uphill section.
