Why Go

Mürren grew up as a summer farming village and became one of the birthplaces of Alpine skiing in the early 1900s. Its wooden chalets, paths and terraces look straight across the valley at the three great peaks. For a thrill, a via ferrata of cables and a wire bridge runs along the cliff face from Mürren to Gimmelwald.
