Am Wochenende vom 16./17. November 2019 beginnt in den Skigebieten von Grindelwald und Wengen die Wintersportsaison. Dank technischer Beschneiung und guten Bedingungen zur Pistenpräparation in den letzten Tagen können die ersten Anlagen und Pisten fürs Wochenende geöffnet werden.

On Thursday evening, the Wengen-Kleine Scheidegg-Grindelwald area experienced an extraordinary storm. Because of the storm and a technical fault at the level of the Eiger Glacier, around 200 people were evacuated to the mountain restaurant on the Kleine Scheidegg. The Jungfrau Railways also suffered various damage to the overhead lines on the Wengernalp Railway (WAB) and the Lauterbrunnen-Mürren mountain railway (BLM) lines due to uprooted trees. The routes from Lauterbrunnen and Grindelwald to Kleine Scheidegg and the Lauterbrunnen-Mürren route are suspended until at least noon.

After the heavy storms on Thursday evening, all 200 people who had spent the night on the Kleine Scheidegg were safely evacuated. Clean-up work is still in progress. The Wengen-Kleine Scheidegg route, including the Jungfrau Railway, will reopen on Saturday. The Lauterbrunnen-Wengen route has reopened. Winter sports will not be in operation at the weekend.

On the weekend of 23/24 November 2019, the winter sports season begins in the Jungfrau Ski Region. With Grindelwald-Wengen and Mürren, two sub-areas and several facilities will be open.

On Wednesday, 27 November 2019, the 300,000th guest arrived on the Harder Kulm. This means that in 2019, passenger numbers on the Harder Railway will exceed 600,000 for the first time. Werner Amacher, Head of Operations at Harder Railway, handed Isabelle Angehrn from Matten a voucher for a lifetime subscription. Dieter Aegerter, who runs the Restaurant Harder Kulm, offered the guest a chocolate cake as well as a Harder-Cape.

With an eye on the strategic major long-term project – the V-Cableway – and the development towards an integrated leisure and service company, the Jungfrau Railways are reorganising themselves. Following the opening of the V-Cableway, which is scheduled for 12 December 2020, the heads of the main departments will be represented on the Executive Board as of 1 January 2021.

On 13 December 2019, the Grindelwald-Männlichen Gondola Cableway (GGM) as well as the new “Grindelwald Terminal” stop on the Bernese Oberland Railway (BOB) were officially opened. Saturday, 14 December 2019 will be the first time that guests can also use part of the new terminal of the V-Cableway major long-term project.

From 2020, it will be even easier and more convenient to get to Interlaken and the Jungfrau Region. From June, the new ICE4 train will be used on the direct route to and from Germany. It will also be possible to book a train journey to/from Interlaken including a plane ticket from Swiss International Air Lines. SBB, Jungfrau Railways, the Canton of Bern, Jungfrau Region Tourism and Interlaken Tourism are meeting the expected increase in guests through the V-Cableway and signed a joint letter of intent on Monday, 16 December 2019.
