Where to Stay in Muerren

With some of the best snow in the area, Muerren, with its long open runs, is good if you’ve got some experience on your side. You’ll find a number of three- and four-star hotels in the village, all in walking distance from the lifts and the train station to take you to the nearby resort of Wengen. All hotels have ski rooms, so you can leave your equipment out to dry, and many have spas and swimming pools, gourmet restaurants, and stylish bars serving premium wines and cocktails.

Things to See in Muerren

James Bond fans might recognise Muerren from the film On Her Majesty's Secret Service, but the resort has remained secluded and quite traditional, avoiding the more commercial elements of some ski resorts. That makes it an ideal destination for families and couples looking for a low-key ski holiday. In the winter, Muerren has more than 30 miles of ski runs and more than a dozen ski lifts for you to choose from.

See Trümmelbach falls, a series of underground waterfalls beneath an impressive glacial gorge. Go to the romantic Schiltalp Hut, a typical alpine hut with fantastic views of Mönch, Jungfrau and Eiger mountains. In January, watch or take part in the Inferno Race, where amateur skiers race from Schilthorn to the finish line at Lauterbrunnen reaching speeds of about 63 miles per hour.
