My gut on passes having been many times to Switzerland and analyzed passes half to death, would be to get a Half Fare Travel Card (HFC) and a Jungfrau Pass or a Berner Oberland Regional Pass for your time in and around Wengen. The choice on the latter two depends on exactly what you plan to do. See https://www.jungfrau.ch/en-gb/jungfrau-travel-pass/#2068 and https://www.berneseoberlandpass.ch/area-of-validity/ to compare options. With the HFC there is a significant discount on the other pass you choose. Your HFC will also apply on all other trains or transport you take.

Meant to add, stop at the TI in Wengen for advice on hiking. The higher elevations like Männlichen will not be open until May 24 this year but there are plenty of hikes available in the valley and at lower elevations. You might use the search bar above to find recent posts about hikes in the area. Search “Wengen Hikes” or “Lauterbrunnen Hikes” to start.
