Hotel Eiger

Mürren's one of Europe’s most historic ski areas - known as the cradle of Alpine skiing. It's located high above the Lauterbrunnen Valley on a dramatic terrace, on the other side of the valley from Wengen. The idyllic traffic-free village is only accessible by cable car and is the ideal retreat from the busier resorts. James Bond fans might recognise the ski area as it featured in the film 'On Her Majestys Secret Service'.  

Skiing and snowboarding in Mürren

The resort has its own ‘Mürren-Schilthorn’ ski area with around 54 kilometres of slopes. There is a range of slopes for all abilities, although it is more suited to experienced skiers and boarders as there are some of the most challenging runs in the region here. Non-skiers can take advantage of the excellent winter walking and sledging with the non-skiers’ lift pass.

Development on the brand new Schilthorn cable car will be taking place over the winter 2024/25 season, limiting access to the top of the Piz Gloria/ Schilthorn mountain. The cable car will terminate at Birg, however there is still plenty of skiing in the local area - speed down the Inferno piste or enjoy the sunny slopes over on the Schiltgrat side.  You will still be able to 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. 

Planned dates of closure are between the 14th October 2024 - 15hth March 2025.
