    Hello,

    I read recently that there is a major construction project at the train station in Murren that is very noisy, etc. We have a room booked for four nights at a hotel across from the train station this summer. If anyone has been in Murren lately, do you have a sense of how disruptive the construction is? Would you recommend we find a hotel in another location of Murren, or maybe in Wengen instead? Thanks for any insight.

    Hi Skimom.

    The construction of a new cable car service between Stechelberg and Mürren will definitely lead to some noise pollution in the area. I’m not sure how disruptive it will get though. However I’m sure the builders and developers will adhere to strict rules and observe the quiet periods.

    If you’re concerned about the noise, it might be a good idea to stay in Wengen or Grindelwald instead.

    Regards,

    Anna

    Wouldn’t the construction be at the other end of Mürren? It is my understanding that the new lift is going to be from Stechelberg directly to Mürren, bypassing Gimmelwald, for a more direct trip up to the Schilthorn.

    Apparently there are construction projects at both the cable car and train station.

    The BLM station is under construction, too, there’s a YouTube video from May 30 showing the construction. We’re going to be at the Hotel Eiger, literally across the street from the BLM station, starting this Monday. The owners say that they haven’t had complaints from guests about the noise, but I’m about to find out for myself … LOL
