Ski holidays Mürren – Panoramic village in the Jungfrau-Region!

Mürren

The mountain village of Mürren, in the Bernese Oberland, lies in the upper half of the Lauterbrunnen valley, on a plateau at 1,650 m altitude and is herewith the highest, permanently inhabited settlement in the Bernese Canton. Thanks to its location, the resort stands out with its breathtaking view of the opposite-facing rocky terrace of the well-known mountain trio of Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. In order to reach this terrific viewing point, you'll have to take a lift - either the lift or gondola when heading up from Lauterbrunnen or the Schilthorn lift when heading up from the neighbouring resort of Stechelberg.

Mürren itself is a traffic-free resort and, once up top, you'll have to continue on foot. Don't worry, though: the paths in Mürren are short. The Walser settlement, with its classical chalets, beams with the genuine charm of a mountain village and even though it's home to under 500 residents, village life is quite vibrant, with diverse festivals and sporting events, such as the popular Inferno races.

Active travellers will find numerous leisure activities besides skiing on the Schilthorn. The Alpine Sports Centre in Mürren provides you with the opportunity to keep your adrenaline going or put it to rest. Choose from various activities such as ice skating on the open-air artificial ice rink, tobogganing, or exploring the winter hiking trails of the area.

Jungfrau Region

The Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau mountains, with the famous Eiger North Face, are the hallmark of the Jungfrau Region. Located in the heart of the Bernese Oberland, the area stretches from Interlaken to the peaks of the Jungfrau massif. An impressive mountain panorama and crystal-clear lakes attract thousands of tourists to the famous holiday resorts every year.
The region is home to several treasures, such as the Jungfrau-Aletsch-Bietschhorn, with the longest ice stream in the Alps (22 km), which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Equally famous is probably the Piz Gloria restaurant on the Schilthorn (2,970 m), which served as the backdrop for the James Bond film On Her Majesty's Secret Service. The Top of Europe is the highest railway station in Europe, located at an altitude of 3,454 m. The Jungfrau Region is considered an Eldorado, especially for winter sports fans.
