About Racers Retreat #5

Racers Retreat #5 is a self-catered chalet in Wengen, sleeping 6 in 3 bedrooms. The nearest lift, Innerwengen, is about 270m away — close enough to walk in boots. It has a sauna and a fireplace. A log fire on Christmas Eve is most of the reason people book a chalet over an apartment. Beds: 1 extra-large double and 4 singles, with 3 bathrooms.

Wengen scores 60 out of 100 on our Christmas Snow Score, with the village at 1274m. That means it is normally open at Christmas, with the lower runs depending more on the year.

Who it's for

  • Sauna
  • Fireplace

Sleeping 6 is the classic family or small-group size. It is self-catered, so you cook — including on the 25th. That suits groups who want to eat on their own schedule.

Things to consider

Resort supermarkets keep short and unpredictable hours over Christmas and many close entirely on the 25th. Order ahead or shop on arrival. Pets are not allowed. Check the bed layout and what is included (linen, towels, final cleaning) on Booking.com before you book — Christmas week is often sold as a fixed seven nights.

Questions about Racers Retreat #5

How many people does Racers Retreat #5 sleep?

Racers Retreat #5 sleeps 6 across 3 bedrooms, with 3 bathrooms. Confirm the exact sleeping layout with the partner before booking — how a chalet divides its beds matters more at Christmas than the headline number, particularly with children.

Is Racers Retreat #5 catered?

No. Racers Retreat #5 is self-catered. Plan ahead: resort supermarkets keep short and unusual hours over Christmas, and the 25th is often a closed day. Order or shop ahead.

How far is Racers Retreat #5 from the lifts?

274m to the nearest lift. In ski boots, with children and kit, treat any distance over about 300m as a walk rather than a step outside.

What does Racers Retreat #5 have?

Sauna, Fireplace. We list only what we hold a confirmed answer for — if something matters to your group and is not listed here, it means we have not verified it rather than that the chalet lacks it. Check with the partner.

Is there usually snow at Racers Retreat #5 at Christmas?

Wengen scores 60 out of 100 on our Christmas Snow Score, which rates how reliably a resort tends to have skiable snow in Christmas week. The score belongs to the resort rather than to this chalet, and it describes a tendency rather than a forecast — Alpine conditions vary every December and nobody can guarantee them.

Can I book Racers Retreat #5 through this site?

No — we take no bookings and handle no payments. We link to the partners who do, and the booking options on this page go to their own live Christmas availability. If you book through one we may earn a commission, which never changes your price.
