Wengernalp

The Wengernalp is an alpine meadow at an elevation of 1874 m, above Wengen in the Bernese Oberland of Switzerland.

It lies on the southern slopes of the Lauberhorn, just below Kleine Scheidegg, a mountain pass connecting the valleys of Lauterbrunnen and Grindelwald. The pass is traversed by a railway bearing its name, the Wengernalp Railway (WAB) with a railway station serving the locality, the Wengernalp station.

The Wengernalp is a popular for its views over the giants of the Bernese Alps. In fact, it directly faces the huge northern walls of the Jungfrau, Mönch and Eiger, across the extremely narrow Trümmelbach valley.

In 1841 the hotel De la Jungfrau was opened; it was later rebuilt after a fire in 1865.

In winter, the Wengernalp (and Kleine Scheidegg) are part of a large ski area.

Amongst the many historical, famous people who have spent holidays on the Wengernalp are Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, Richard Wagner and Peter Tchaikovsky.

Sure, I can help you expand the Wikipedia article on Wengernalp. The provided URL points to the Wengernalp station article, not the railway itself, though they are inherently linked.

Let's assume the goal is to expand the article about Wengernalp as a location/alpine pasture/station, rather than just the railway which has its own detailed article. If the intent was to expand the railway article, please clarify.

Here's an expanded version of what a short article on Wengernalp (the location and station) might look like, incorporating more information and potential sources.

Wengernalp is a significant alpine pasture (German: Alp) and a prominent railway station located in the Bernese Oberland region of Switzerland. Situated at an elevation of 1,874 metres (6,148 ft) above sea level, it serves as a key intermediate point on the Wengernalp Railway (Wengernalpbahn), connecting the car-free village of Wengen with the mountain pass of Kleine Scheidegg [1]. The name "Wengernalp" translates to "Wengen's Alpine Pasture," reflecting its traditional use as a grazing area for livestock from Wengen [2].
