💡 Pro-Tips for Eating in Wengen on a Budget
- Watch out for sharing fees: In Switzerland, it’s common for sit-down restaurants to add a small surcharge (around CHF 5) if two people share a single main dish (like a pizza). Places like Da Sina are transparent about this on the menu, but it’s good to keep in mind!
- Do a “Coop Picnic”: Eating out for every meal in Wengen gets incredibly expensive. Do what the savvy families do, and head to the local Coop supermarket, grab some fresh bread, local cheeses, and cured meats, and have a scenic picnic on your hotel balcony.
- Load up on breakfast: Many Wengen hotels (like the Alpenrose or Belvedere) offer half-board options or massive, high-quality breakfast buffets. Fueling up heavily in the morning is the best way to tackle the trails without needing a massive, pricey lunch.
We learned the breakfast & Coop plans on our trips in 1980s [’83 & ’86]. And we’ve practiced them when we’ve traveled in Switzerland since.
