About Murren

General Information

Mürren (1650 m) is a marvellous mountain village, public car free, rich in tradition and originally the home of settlers from the Lötschen Valley in the Valais.

Perched on a high, sunny terrace facing the famous Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau, the village is the highest altitude ski resort in the Bernese Oberland. It nestles at the foot of the Schilthorn with its revolving Piz Gloria Restaurant, made world-famous by a James Bond film.

In summer, Mürren is the perfect place from which to start a host of hikes, from simple to strenuous.

You can reach Mürren from Lauterbrunnen by mountain railway (BLM) or from Stechelberg by aerial cableway (LSMS). Mürren has 450 inhabitants.

Place to visit

Jungfraujoch - Top of Europe

The panorama from the viewing plateau on the Jungfraujoch- Top of Europe is unique, grandiose, breathtaking - almost indescribable! To the north on a clear day you can see as far as the French Vosges and the Black Forest in Germany. To the south lies the awe-inspiring Aletsch Glacier, at 22 km the longest ice stream in the Alps. Its glacier melt flows into the Mediterranean. Mighty ice masses lie under the plateau, the watershed of Europe. These move slowly northwards, with their melt flowing into the North Sea. They provide the space for the unique Ice Palace.

Schilthorn/Piz Gloria

Be bewitched by a magical high-Alpine winter wonderworld of more than 200 magnificent mountain peaks and 40 glistening glaciers. The panorama extends from the Titlis, along the Bernese Alps, including the Eiger, Mönch & Jungfrau, to distant Mont Blanc and far across the central lowlands to the Jura and Germany's Black Forest. Relax in the Piz Gloria revolving restaurant and fall under the spell of the unforgettable "Magic Mountain" - the Schilthorn!

Trümmelbach falls

On the road between Lauterbrunnen and Stechelberg lies the entrance to the famous Trummelbach Falls, which alone carry the glacier melt from the west wall of the Eiger and the north walls of the Mönch and Jungfrau. The Trümmelbach Falls were first made accessible in 1886 and have ever since been regarded as a unique attraction, drawing visitors from all over the world.
