Where to stay in Mürren

At walking distance from the cable car or train station

Mürren is pretty small. Its main street connects the cable cars to Stechelberg and Schilthorn at the southern end with the train station to Grütschalp and Lauterbrunnen at the northern end.

Nearly all hotels are within 10 minutes on foot from either the train station or the cableway station. If your hotel is too far to comfortably reach on foot with luggage, the hotel staff can often pick you up from one of the stations. Contact your hotel directly to check the options.

Hotel rooms with mountain views

Many hotels have rooms with panoramic vistas of the valley and the mountains Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau. East-facing rooms with a balcony are best. Check the description of your room to make sure it has mountain views.

Page author: AnnikaSince early childhood I've been visiting Switzerland during my holidays and I just fell in love with the country. I spent many summers in the Bernese Oberland, which still feels like my second home, and then started to explore other areas. Traveling, hiking and photographing in the Swiss Alps are my absolute favorite activities.
