211 kilometres of perfectly groomed slopes – from practice areas for children to the steepest descent in the ski area. From snowboard and fun parks to race tracks and deep snow slopes. The Jungfrau Ski Region leaves nothing to be desired. These are our highlights:
State-of-the-art infrastructure
The AlpsPass opens the doors to two of the most modern mountain railways in the world: the Eiger Express – the most modern 3S cable car in the world – takes you from Grindelwald to the Eiger Glacier at 2,320 metres above sea level in just fifteen minutes – right into the heart of the Grindelwald-Wengen ski area. Or you can take the world's steepest cable car from Stechelberg to Mürren in just four minutes – your gateway to the Mürren-Schilthorn ski area. Both facilities are included in the AlpsPass and take you right to the heart of the ski area.

Conquer the longest World Cup run in the world
After the races in mid-January, the perfectly groomed Lauberhorn downhill run is opened to the public and you can ride up for free with the AlpsPass. From Wengen, take the Wengernalp Railway to Kleine Scheidegg – and then continue by chairlift to the Lauberhorn. The mountain station is located at 2,394 metres above sea level. You can grab a quick bite to eat in the start bar before heading over to the start house. Take two or three deep breaths, and off you go!

Steep, steeper, Direttissima
Adrenaline is guaranteed on the Direttissima, piste number 9. With a gradient of 88 per cent, it is the steepest slope in the Jungfrau Region that can be skied with the AlpsPass. The descent starts at the Birg station and leads directly down the fall line into the Enge Valley. It goes without saying that only experienced skiers should tackle the Direttissima.

Halfpipe with a view of the Eiger North Face
Whether you're a pro or a beginner, the Grindelwald-First Snow Park offers the perfect infrastructure for everyone with an AlpsPass. The showpiece of the Oberjoch facility is the halfpipe, which is over 100 metres long and 5.60 metres high, with a view of the Eiger North Face. The park also offers kickers, rails, bonks and boxes. The park manager is none other than halfpipe Olympic champion Gian Simmen. But freestylers will also get their money's worth at the Schilthorn Snow Park.

For the little ones – family adventures with the AlpsPass
Riding over waves and past obstacles – Lilly's magical kids' slope is the name of the children's paradise on the Allmendhubel. Grindelwald-First has a Lily Fun Slope with fun obstacles. The wave bumps, steep wall turns and Lily figures help children improve their skiing skills in a playful way. The Lily Pump Track & Lily Family Slope on Kleine Scheidegg also brings a sparkle to the eyes of young and old alike and offers lots of skiing fun.

Spectacular, more spectacular, skicross!
Jumps, steep turns and waves: at the Schillti ski lift in the Grindelwald-First ski area, you can try out this Olympic sport on an 800-metre-long slope. It's not just speed that counts here, but also technique, courage and a good dose of adventurous spirit. Whether you're competing with friends or just trying it out, adrenaline is guaranteed!

The longest sledging route in the world, winter hiking in front of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau or cross-country skiing in the valley of 72 waterfalls – even away from the ski and snowboard slopes, the Jungfrau Ski Region offers a wide range of activities with the AlpsPass.
