Description
Mürren is a car-free mountain village in the Bernese Oberland, perched on a sunny terrace high above the Lauterbrunnen Valley. The traditional alpine resort is renowned for its spectacular setting, peaceful atmosphere, and direct access to the iconic peaks of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau. The Schilthorn cableway connects the village with the 2,970-metre Schilthorn summit and its revolving Piz Gloria restaurant, made famous by the James Bond film “On Her Majesty's Secret Service”.
