Message from Tanya@SwissFamilyFun

Mürren is a charming mountain village, perched at 1650 meters above the Lauterbrunnen valley in the Jungfrau Region. It's known for its stunning views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks.

In winter, Mürren is a popular destination for winter sports, so the village is bustling with skiers and other visitors.

Strolling through Mürren is a delightful experience, admiring the traditional chalets and spectacular views across the valley. It's a great choice for non-hikers that want to get that Swiss alpine vibe without a lot of work.

The short loop around the village takes about 45 mins at a slow page, on obstacle-free paths. In winter, the snow on the path is groomed by machines, but it can have ice patches and be slippery. See suggested route.

How to get there

By public transport: Starting in Lauterbrunnen, ride the cable car up to Grütschalp. Then transfer to the Mürren BLM mountain train, which drops you on the edge of the village.

This journey is free with the Swiss Travel Pass, SBB GA and SBB Saver Day Pass.

By car: You can park in Stechelberg and ride cable cars to Mürren.
