Restaurants, food and drink
No visit is complete without visiting Piz Gloria, the world’s first revolving restaurant at the top of the Schilthorn, easily recognizable as Blofelds mountain top hideout. In the resort itself and on the mountain you can find a handful of more traditional restaurants serving regional classics such as fondue, raclette and high quality meat dishes.
Apres, bars, clubs and nightlife
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.
Spas and relaxation
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.
Shopping
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.
