The Wengernalp is a mountain of height 1874 m, between Wengen and Kleine Scheidegg in the Swiss Alps. It can be reached on foot, by Wengernalpbahn (WAB) from Wengen or by skiing from Kleine Scheidegg.

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

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