A ten-winter average, computed from a weather archive for a point at :elevation m above sea level.
Average snowfall per month, in centimetres. Below the axis: average day and night temperature.
The lifts usually run here from 21 Nov to 25 Apr, and that is the span of the chart. Dates published by the resort, checked 2026-08-15.

The colours under the axis show school-holiday traffic per week of winter 2026/2027, from the holidays chapter — the curve is a long-term average, the traffic is this one season. A green band marks a quiet week in a month with at least 70 % of the snowiest month’s snowfall. This season: 7 Dec – 20 Dec, 11 Jan – 31 Jan, 1 Mar – 14 Mar.
This is snowfall, not snow depth on the slope: it says how much usually falls in a given month, not how much lies there. The measuring point sits close to the valley floor, so higher up it snows more.

Is Grindelwald – Wengen (Jungfrau) worth it?
Grindelwald and Wengen lie at the foot of the Eiger, below its famous north face, in the Jungfrau region of the Bernese Oberland. Wengen is car-free — you reach it by cog railway — and above both towns runs the course of the most famous World Cup downhill, the Lauberhorn, the longest on the calendar. This is skiing in scenery that is itself the reason to come.
In our measurement from OpenStreetMap it comes to about 127 km of pistes, split evenly between easy and intermediate with a sensible amount of harder terrain. The skiing is varied, but the core is long, pleasant descents with views of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau.
The lift climbs to around 2,400 m and the lower stations sit at around 1,275 m, so the vertical is large. The snow up high holds well; the season usually runs from December to April.
The Jungfrau region ski pass is sold dynamically — the price depends on the date and how early you buy, so no single figure would be true. The prices are in Swiss francs and we do not convert them; check with the operator before you travel. The drive from Poland: about 1,183 km from Wrocław, 1,344 from Katowice, 1,419 from Kraków.
