In a nutshell
Beauty and peace!
devat81 Says: The Schilthorn is a 2970 m high summit in the Bernese Alps in Switzerland, above Mürren. The Summit is popularly knows as James Bond Mountain where the movie "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" was filmed.It has a panoramic view which spans from the Titlis, Jungfrau, Mönch,...
devat81 Says: There is a panoramic revolving restaurant, named Piz Gloria, at the summit, which is where the James Bond movie "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" was filmed. The restaurant revolves a full 360 degrees in 55 minutes.During peak Winter the restaurant would be a place to warm...
littlesam1 Says: Piz Gloria. What a thrill. I saw the Bond film On Her Majesty's Secret Service when I was in the ninth grade. It immediately became one of my favorite Bond films. After many years of watching the video and now DVD I never thought I would actually be at Piz Gloria. But here I...
Manara Says: Gimmelwald is a hamlet of extremely picturesque wooden houses, and this is all there is there: houses and barns, plus the station of the cableway.The walk from Mürren to Gimmelwald is very easy, because it is almost level, without any steep ascent or descent, and there is a...
Manara Says: Mürren is at an altitude of 1645 metres above sea level, on a gigantic terrace of rock that overlooks the valley of the Weisse Lütschine river. Such a location grants a great view of the Jungfrau massif, from the Eiger to the Breithorn peaks. You can admire them from...
Manara Says: Picturesque houses made of wood can be found in lots of places in the Swiss Alps, but I enjoyed these ones more than most of those I saw in other villages. Probably it is because of the absence of cars. The other thing I liked is that these houses look more "real". I have...
Piz Gloria: Have a martini shaken not stirred.
littlesam1 Says: The restaurant Piz Gloria is the worlds first revolving mountain top restaurant. There are others in Switzerland now and we visited a couple of them. But Piz Gloria was the first. Construction was started in 1967 just before the James Bond film was made. The motion picture...
Silberhorn Hotel: Great food!!
24debbie Says: We were staying in Murren and did not discover this restaurant until our final night. The food was wonderful and the prices were moderate. This hotel is located just up the hill behind the Lauterbrauen train station. I would recommend trying the place it was GREAT!!!!
ciuchi Says: To be honest, Muerren is NOT THE PLACE TO PARTY!!! Not that I was really able to after a day of skiing, but my husband and I decided to go for a stroll after dinner and maybe check one of the bars or nightclubs...well, the only nightclub we found was closed at 21.45 and...
Mürren to Schilthorn Cable Car
devat81 Says: To get to the Schilthorn cable car must be taken. From Mürren to Birg, which is a stopover before the Schilthorn. This cable airway is the longest and was the most technically challenging airway to be built. Between Birg and the summit, the cable car passes over Grauseeli, a...
devat81 Says: From Interlaken Ost station, there is an hourly train to Lauterbrunnen. Once in Lauterbrunnen, follow the directions on the signs on the road. The road was pretty gloomy and slippery too during Christmas but was full of fun to walk and we faced snowfall as well. You will...
Manara Says: For those who stay in Mürren for some days it can be convenient to buy a Schilthorn Holiday Pass. With this pass, which is valid for 6 consecutive days, you can go up and down the mountain as many times as you please using all the available means of transports.More...
Manara Says: This is more a curiosity than a cultural thing, but I liked it so much I had to take a picture of it.I noticed this plank that goes from a window to street level, and it looks very much like a ramp placed there to be used by the house cat to go in and out. However there is...
travelfrosch Says: You'll occasionally see helicopters flying around the valley. They do this to practice for rescues. If you just won the Lotto, you can probably ride along on a sightseeing tour.If they ever have to come to rescue you, you will be both grateful and broke. You will be charged...
no place to show your Manolo Blahniks
globetrott Says: 1) Leave your Manolo Blahniks at home and take good hiking-shoes instead, when walking in and around Muerren and especially the Schilthorn, where i saw that funny "trafic-sign" : Many of the paths are slippery sometimes, you will have to step through alpine pastures, solid...
bring some food for the fox at Schilthorn
globetrott Says: In the area around Muerren and especially on top of Piz Gloria / Schilthorn good shoes are a MUST !! Muerren is in a hight of more than 1200 meters and when-ever you take a hike, you never know what kind of surface you will have to step through : slippery, wet rocks or mud...
Staubbach / Staubbach-falls in Lauterbrunnen
globetrott Says: Staubachfall is one of the main attractions of Lauterbrunnen and the best about it is : You may see it for free, day and night, in only a short distance from the train-station, you may even walk there, when you may spare 20-30 minutes between 2 connecting trains. The water...

globetrott Says: Mystery-park in Interlakenis closed now,maybe for-ever !!I leave the infos here, so you know, what it was all aboutwhen you pass by that strange buildingin the east of Interlaken__________________________________________Mystery World in Interlaken might be a place to visit,...
Paragliding & Tandem-flights from Schilthorn
globetrott Says: Paragliding is quite a common sport in Muerren and best places to do so is flying from Schilthorn, Allmendhubel or Birg. You may book a flight in advance or in some cases I even met paragliders, who went up the Schilthorn and were waiting there for passengers for a...
iammon Says: This is a nice climbing garden above Mürren. It has 24 routes from levels 4- 6B.It is located below the Schilthorn hut. First take the cable car to Birg station. Then walk through the Engetal (valley) to the old station of Engetal Skilift. Follow the path along the stream....

This is a great place to visit, and my impression is that it must be also a great place to stay, if you want a quiet holiday, surrounded by impossibly beautiful landscapes.

Murren is so lovely and it is sitting on a ledge, 2000 feet above Lauterbrunnen Valley and surrounded by majestic mountains.
