Downhill action in Lauterbrunnen itself is extremely limited and very dependant on the conditions. However, on occasion it is possible to slide back down to the valley from Murren following the same route as the famous Inferno downhill ski race. Riders more often than not have to head for the neighbouring resorts of Wengen or Murren before they hit ride-able pistes though. Lauterbrunnen may not suit those seeking skiing or snowboarding convenience. However, it is a great location for those that like to go to different ski areas each day and don’t mind a bit of effort getting there. After all, all anyone need do to tap the great snowsport resource of the Jungfrau region is hop on a lift or mountain train.
