Coop Family Hike on Männlichen

On Saturday 15 August 2026, the Coop Family Hike brings a themed treasure-hunt walk to Männlichen, high above Wengen. The route follows easy terrain and is built for children, turning a mountain walk into a game.

The event

This is a hike with a plot. The Coop Family Hike lays out a themed treasure hunt along the trail, giving children a reason to keep walking and something to look for at every turn. The route sticks to easy, well-graded terrain, so it works for younger legs and unhurried families rather than serious hikers. It is a straightforward way to get children onto the mountain and enjoying it, with the payoff of the hunt to pull them along.

Up on Männlichen

Männlichen sits directly above Wengen, and the Wengen-Männlichen cable car climbs to the summit in a few minutes from the valley station by the hotel. The hike starts from the top, on gentle paths with the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau in view for much of the way. Taking the cable car up means the day's effort goes into the walk itself, not the climb, which is exactly what you want with children along.
