This is Mürren
Mürren is located in the southwest of Switzerland in the
Bernese Oberland. The Alpine scenery, imposing waterfalls and the many destinations for outings and excursions make it popular with visitors.
Discover Mürren
This picturesque mountain village sits above the
Lauterbrunnen Valley, opposite the summit skyline of the Eiger, Mönch and
Jungfrau: Let’s make an ideal start to a day in the Swiss Alps. On a tour of the village, it is worth stopping for a photo and then taking the cog railway to Mürren’s local mountain, the Allmendhubel, the starting point for panoramic hikes or snowshoe tours. Back in the village, you can enjoy a few laps on the
ice rink in winter. Mürren is one of the most traditional winter sports destinations in Switzerland.
Mürrenbach Falls
The
Mürrenbach Falls are the highest waterfall in Switzerland with a drop of 471 metres. The water plunges into the depths over five cascades. Numerous hiking trails lead from Mürren to the natural spectacle. It is close enough to touch from the cable car. A walk behind the smaller
Sprutz waterfall is a refreshing experience in summer.
Schilthorn
Made world-famous by a James Bond film: the
Schilthorn. The skyline platform offers an unobstructed view of 200 mountain peaks, including the trio of Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. In addition to the Walk of Fame and Spy World, the highlight is the rotating Piz Gloria mountain restaurant with its 360-degree view of the Alpine panorama. Tip: For an adrenalin rush, make a stop at the Birg middle station of the Schilthorn cable car and experience the
Thrill Walk.

Excitement is guaranteed on the
via ferrata from Mürren to
Gimmelwald with the rope bridge. The train ride to
Grütschalp and from there to

Wengernalp railway will take you to
Wengen,
Kleine Scheidegg and on to
Grindelwald. Other top excursion destinations include
Interlaken and the
Jungfraujoch.
