    I cannot seem to find the length of the trip (in minutes) from Murren to Schilthorn. We went to Crater Lake yesterday (6,178 feet) and ascended in just a few minutes – and my husband got an intense headache that subsided as soon as we returned lower in altitude. This has happened before. I am thinking perhaps it’s not worth it to spend the money on Schilthorn unless the ascent is slow enough for him.

    Thank you!

    Hi ArielK, and welcome to MySwissAlps!

    The cable car trip from Mürren to the Schilthorn takes 17 minutes. There is a mid-station called Birg, which is reached in 13 minutes. You can get out and spend some time there if that would be of any help. At Birg there is a restaurant, a terrace with seating and panoramic views, and you can do the Thrill Walk. Altitudes above sea level are: Mürren 1638 metres, Birg 2700 metres and Schilthorn 2970 metres.
