Wengen village is (around 30 mins from Interlaken East) perched on mountain top offering a stunning birds eye view of Lauterbrunnen. This peaceful hamlet, just one train stop from Lauterbrunnen is mostly frequented by Americans & often skipped by South Asians.

How to book Tickets?

Visit https://www.sbb.ch/en. Note there are multiple types of ticket. Based on your schedule pick the right type; for eg go for swiss pass If you plan to spend 7-10 days & would like to travel only by train (else swiss pass will be expensive). I picked supersaver ticket (note: super saver tickets are non refundable, so be absolutely sure before booking)
