Murren-Schilthorn

Mürren-Schilthorn ski region is the highest in elevation in the magnificent Swiss Jungfrau region, with the Shilthorn summit reaching 9,744′. Cable cars from Lauterbrunnen and Stechelberg bring you to Mürren-Schilthorn ski slopes. Other Jungrfau ski regions are Wengen and Grindelwald.

The idyllic village of Mürren is located in the middle of the ski area, high above the picturesque valley of Alps, with several ski-in ski-out hotels and lodges. Murren has 54 kilometers of prepared ski slopes and views of more than 200 alpine mountains surrounding it. A modern Gondola “Murrenbahn” takes you from the train station, and parking at the base, up to the pedestrian alpine village and ski terrain. The gondola runs every 30-minutes.

The best place to capture Murren’s amazing view is at the Piz Gloria, the revolving restaurant at the Schilthorn summit. This amazing panoramic lodge was featured in the 007 James Bond movie, “Her Majesty’s Secret Service.” Go here for an incredibly scenic leisure lunch, enjoy the full 55 minutes to complete the 360-degree full rotation at the Schilthorn Piz Gloria. Save some time for a peek at the Bond 007 Exhibit downstairs at the peak too, then enjoy the famous black diamond ski run that James Bond descended in the film all the way down to the Engetal below Brig.

The Schilthorn is famed for its mountaintop lodge, the stunning views and the century-old ski race, the world’s longest downhill called the “Inferno” which started in 1928 and continues to this day with over 1,800 ski racers competing.

Mürren is a postcard perfect ski village, with just a few charming Swiss hotels, chalets and restaurants. Staying here in this car-free village after most skiers descend the and train is magical.

The Schiltgrat and Winteregg detachable quad lifts offer some of the best long, intermediate and advanced cruising terrain in the Jungfrau. Its an interesting mix between the James Bond World at the summit, the revolving 360 restaurant and glass Sky Walk, even kite skiers launching and landing, to the pastoral alpine scenes as you descend into the valley of Lauterbrunnen.
