Activities

Mürren also has a Via Ferrata, Paragliding, many hikes like the Northface Trail, and access to Schilthorn viewpoint higher up the mountain.
💡Tip: If only some of your group wants to hike, send the non-hikers on the train while the others hike to Mürren on the Mountain View trail. Meet up at Allmendhubel (end of trail) or Mürren for lunch.
Alternate return route: When you are done in Mürren, you can return the same way. Or if you want a different view on the way back, you can instead ride a cable car from Mürren down to Stechelberg in the valley. Then a bus back to Lauterbrunnen. Note that this alternative return route is not covered by the Jungfrau Travel Pass, Eurail, or Interrail passes.
