I can recharge my batteries here

We have a holiday flat in Wengen. I regularly go there for hiking on Kleine Scheidegg. The amazing panorama, the fresh air – this is where I can recharge my batteries.
Many roads lead here

We are on holiday in the Jungfrau region for the second time. We love it here. We particularly enjoy Kleine Scheidegg. It's so great that there are so many different ways to get up here.
