A good place to get a feel for the area and an idea of the things on offer is on the following web site: http://www.jungfrau.ch/ http://www.jungfrauregion.ch/ WINTER The 214 kilometres of piste in the Jungfrau region are among the most picturesque in the world, catering for all level of skier and boarder, with long blue runs for beginners to the Lauberhorn world cup run and off piste areas for the more adventurous. It is not possible to ski in Lauterbrunnen itself, although weather permitting it is possible to ski down to Lauterbrunnen from the Murren Schilthorn side. From the apartment it is a couple of minutes bus ride to both the Gondola and main train station providing access to the Murren Schilthorn and Wengen-Kleine Scheidegg ski areas. Grindelwald is further afield and can be accessed via train, either directly from Lauterbrunnen or with a combined ski and train run from the Wengen side of the mountain.
