There are two walking routes up to Mannlichen from Wengen.
However, for the last few years we have been only allowed to use the left hand one, and that has been rerouted at the top for safety.
They are building more avalanche barriers to protect the village.
So it wasn't a particularly peaceful walk last week, with the helicopter flying back and forth delivering materials.

| an idea of the size |
The idea is to stop an avalanche from forming by preventing the gathering snowball effect, right from the top.
They seem to manage to build about two rows a year.
This one also hopes to collect falling rocks in the nets.
