	Galeriedatei Wengernalp (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The sunny Wengernalp, with its fascinating terraced steps, is situated directly opposite the northern glacial walls of the famous Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau.
		It was undoubtedly the continued and awakening interest for the Alps during the 18th century, that led the Wengernalp to its world-famous standing today.
		The longstanding family-run hotel and mountain dwelling, stemming from the 19th century, was lovingly restored and modernised in several stages, and by today’s standards is considered one of the most charming hotels in the Alps.

	Short History
		Around 1350 monks from the monastery in Interlaken succeeded in extending their sphere of influence as far as Wengen and Wengernalp and eventually the whole Lauterbrunnen valley fell into their hands.
		In 1487 a church was established in Lauterbrunnen and adorned with a bell that was ordered from their old home of Gsteig, which can still be seen in front of the newer church here today.
		The last decade of the 19th century witnessed the opening of a number of railways in the Jungfrau region including the BOB - Bernese Oberland Railway - from Interlaken to Lauterbrunnen, and the Wengernalp, Schynige Platte and Murren Railways.

		A keen observer, Guyer-Zeller also noted the extreme popularity of the little Wengernalp line that served to carry passengers in a toylike train of one or two carriages up from Lauterbrunnen to Kleine Scheidegg lying at 6, 700 odd feet above sea level.
		If this plan were adopted the builders would have only some nine thousand feet of track to lay before they arrived at the summit of the Jungfrau.
		The Swiss Government then gave the enterprise its official sanction, and primary operations began with a supply base at Lauterbrunnen, from where the material had to be conveyed to Kleine Scheidegg over the Wengernalp line.
