The Murren-Schilthorn area has plenty of blues and red runs to start the day. Once you have warmed up your legs head down Red 3, which follows the Inferno track down to Lauterbrunnen. From here take the Jungfraubahn up to Wengen where you have access to the wider ski area, head over to the Kleine Scheidegg and Männlichen areas for long red runs.

Discover Mürren
Often referred to as the cradle of Alpine skiing, Mürren is one of Europe’s most historic winter destinations. Perched high above the Lauterbrunnen Valley on a dramatic terrace opposite Wengen, this idyllic, traffic-free village offers a peaceful alternative to the busier resorts. Mürren is only accessible by cable car, making it a true mountain retreat.
James Bond fans might recognise the ski area as it featured in the film 'On Her Majestys Secret Service. The revolving restaurant, Piz Gloria, located at the top of the Schilthorn - Europes steepest cable car, famously featured as the mountaintop hideout of the villain Blofeld.
The resort has its own ‘Mürren-Schilthorn’ ski area with around 54 kilometres of slopes, it's the highest ski area in the Bernese Oberland. While Mürren is ideal for more experienced skiers and snowboarders due to its challenging runs, slopes are available for all skill levels. Beginners can take the funicular up to Allmendhubel, where you'll find a variety of nursery slopes.
For more experienced skiers, the Schiltgrat offers a great selection of runs for all levels. Advanced skiers and snowboarders will love the thrill of Slope 9 Direttissima, the steepest slope in the Jungfrau! You have access the wonderful Jungfrau Ski Region, surrounded by the dramatic backdrop of the Eiger, Jungfrau and Mönch - a visit to the Jungfrau is not complete without a visit to the Top of Europe - tour the Ice Palace, learn about the history of the railway or take in the panoramic views of the Swiss Alps.
Non-skiers can take advantage of the excellent winter walking and sledging with the non-skiers’ lift pass. If you are looking for somewhere to meet for lunch at the Panoramic Restaurant Allmendhubel is a great choice - the non skiers can get the funicular up, while the skiers and boarders can ski up to the restaurant.
Our flexible short ski breaks in Switzerland have you covered! Hit the slopes for as long or as short as you like. Design your perfect Swiss ski getaway! Choose your duration, departure day, hotel, and resort. Fly from your preferred airport and customize your trip with extras like ski hire and lift passes.
The choice is yours, flexible durations available in 10 resorts and 34 hotels across Switzerland.
Mürren has a range of restaurants both on and off the mountain, serving traditional regional classics such as fondue, raclette and rösti. High up in the mountains Bistro Birg serves hearty alpine dishes with amazing views of over the mountain peaks, it is a lovely spot to soak up some winter sun.
Once the slopes are closed for the day, Murren is far more sedate than some of the surrounding resorts. Whilst you are on the mountain make the most of the winter sun on one of the sun terraces dotted around.
Once back in resort, the majority of bars are within the hotels lining the street. If you are after a bit of nightlife, head to the only nightclub in the resort. Bliemlichäller located in the basement of the Hotel Blumental to dance the night away.
If you fancy a day off the slopes the Alpine Spa is the perfect place to relax. Within the spa area you have access to a range of saunas, a steam bath, plunge pool and the swimming pool among other relaxation areas. Entry is reduced with a guest card issued by your hotel.
There is a Co-Op grocery store and a handful of sport shops and souvenir shops selling regional produce dotted around the village.
Equipment rental and sports shops are typically open until late in the day so you can maximise your time on the mountain before returning your equipment at the end of your last day.
The Inferno Downhill race is held annually in Mürren, it is the largest amateur downhill ski race where people race down the Lauterbrunnen valley. Expected dates for the races are between the end of January.
Leave the Lauberhorn races for the professionals, the run challenges professional skiiers speeding down the longest World Cup downhill run. The Lauberhorn races are held in mid-January in Wengen. The Super Combined is held on Friday, the Downhill on Saturday and the Slalom on Sunday.
Development on the brand new Schilthorn cable car had taken place over the 2024/25 winter season; the brand new lift takes you up to the summit in less than 20 minutes and now holds the title of the world's steepest cable car with a gradient of 159.4%. The spectacular lift provides a direct link between the valley station in Stechelberg and the village of Mürren, taking you up to the summit of the Schilthorn via Birg. Once at the top you can enjoy incredible panoramic views of the Bernese Oberland and tasty regional dishes at the Piz Gloria restaurant.
