Transportation

Wengernalp Bahn
The WAB provides cogwheel rail service between Lauterbrunnen, Wengen, Kleine Scheidegg, and Grindelwald. It's been around since 1893 and was electrified almost 90 years ago.

Männlichenbahn
In five minutes, this aerial cablecar whisks you from Wengen to a mountain hotel, restaurant, and cafeteria with panoramic views and a sun terrace.

Europe's highest railway is also one of the most expensive, but my article tells how to minimize your costs.
