If you’re an avid skier, skiing in the Jungfrau region is a must. There are three main areas to ski in the Jungfrau region: First, Kleine Scheidegg & Männlichen, and Schilthorn! In terms of levels, the blue slopes are beginner, the red slopes are intermediate, and the black slopes are the advance. In Switzerland, the slopes are carved out of the mountain terrain, so even if you are an intermediate or advanced skier in your area, you should start with beginner slopes to get used to the Swiss slopes and then enjoy the whole Jungfrau region!
