Wengen is nice in the summer. Wilderswil is also a good place to use as a base, as it is near to Interlaken, but a bit cheaper than staying in the town centre.
What to do? Wow, where to start. There are two different rail passes they you can buy - one covers 6 days on the Jungfrau railways/buses, the other covers 6 days in the Bernese Oberland. Jungfraujoch is a good day out, if the weather is nice. Schinegge Platte is also nice. There are 100s of walks that you can do in the area. Boat on lake Thun, boat on Lake Brienz, trip to Meiringen, day in lucern/berne - flip, narrow it down a bit!!

Smokin Joe, drink the local Rugenbrau beer which tastes better the higher the altitude it is drunk at

Smokin Joe, I went once and stayed in Lauterbrunnen (camping). It was very beautiful. It's important to go when the flowers are out though - last 2 weeks of June or 1st week of July probably - no later. They are truly spectacular.  I take it you're not expecting to ski.

Do, and bear in mind you could add in a few days skiing there as well, as the glacier (which IIRC is the biggest summer ski area in Europe) is open year round. The Village is fantastic, and go the right places the nightlife can be like "gannin' doon the quayside"
I may be slightly biased tho as Zermatt is my favourite place, anywhere!
|

You know it makes sense.
|
|
I will keep a wide berth if its like the Quayside - full of tourists paying over inflated prices for pish poor drinks.

Wengen and the surrounding area is beautiful in the summer. Been there a good few times and always enjoyed it.
