Wengen, Switzerland

Wengen is a village located in the mountains above Lauterbrunnen. It normally has something like 1,300 residents who are around for the entire year. But about 5,000 people are there in the summer, and it doubles to 10,000 in the winter. Cars are not allowed here. About the only way to get there is by train.

As you'd expect, the skiing is good up here. A World Cup event is staged here annually. Such races date back to about 100 years, thanks to the effort of British visitors. 

We didn't get to see much of the place during our visit, since we were headed up the mountain. This helps fill in the details:
