Few Alpine ski settings can match the scale of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. The Jungfrau Ski Region has three distinct areas rather than one continuous circuit, so the day can change character with the weather, the group and the mountain you choose.

Grindelwald–Wengen, around Kleine Scheidegg and Männlichen, is the largest sector. Long intermediate pistes unfold beneath the Eiger, and parts of the famous Lauberhorn World Cup downhill course can be skied by visitors. Grindelwald–First has a younger, more relaxed feel, with the White Elements Snowpark, approachable runs and freeride possibilities when conditions are right. Non-skiers can also try the First Flyer zipline.

Mürren–Schilthorn rises to approximately 2,970 m and offers steeper pistes and serious expert off-piste terrain. Mürren's Inferno Race adds almost a century of sporting history to the mountain. Higher still, Jungfraujoch at 3,454 m is a remarkable glacier-view sightseeing excursion, not part of the connected ski pistes. Grindelwald, car-free Wengen and car-free Mürren each make a very different base for the week.
