Staying in Mürren
Mürren has two useful arrival points: the railway station at one end of the village and the Schilthorn cable car station at the other. Match your arrival route to your accommodation before traveling with bags. A central address can still involve steps or a sloping lane. Walking estimates below start at the railway station, with additional time needed in snow or ice.
