Mürren Ski Resort

Mürren ski resort is one of the most charming villages in the Alps, with a great sense of tradition and tranquillity. The quaint town is in the Jungfrau region of Switzerland’s Bernese Oberland. Skiing has taken place here since 1922, when the world’s first slalom races were held and organised by the great British ski pioneer Arnold Lunn. The town is still recognisable today from its historic roots, thanks to the classic mountain design of the chalets and the Mürren dialect that is still spoken by the locals.

Mürren ski resort is car-free and peaceful, offering awe-inspiring views across the valley to the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau mountains. Skiers will enjoy the leisurely pace of life which is retained throughout the town, despite the brush it has had with fame when the rotating Piz Gloria restaurant was featured in James Bond’s ‘On Her Majesty’s Secret Service’. Skiers can follow in Bond’s footsteps by visiting the interactive adventure exhibition ‘007 Walk of Fame’ for a thrilling ski experience which brings the on-screen action to life.

The magic of Mürren ski resort is thanks to there being no roads leading into it. The only two ways to access Mürren ski resort is via a cable car ride from Lauterbrunnen and then a short cog-railway train journey. The other is to take the alternative cable car which runs directly up from the valley hamlet of Stechelberg to the opposite end of the village, which runs later into the evening.
