Steep slopes, long downhill runs, modern transport facilities, welcoming and cosy places to stop for refreshments and stunning panoramic views: Mürren – Schilthorn, the Bernese Oberland's highest-altitude winter sports area, makes every snow sports fan's wishes come true.
The Schilthorn area is perfect for sledging. The Apollo run leads from Schiltgrat station via Schiltalp and Gimmeln back to Mürren.
The Bobrun sledge run and footpath start on our local mountain, the Allmendhubel, and lead into the village centre.
The sledge run from Winteregg to Lauterbrunnen opens provided there is sufficient snow cover in the valley.
If you like to take things that little bit easier, you will find snowy forests and absolute tranquillity off the beaten track, interrupted occasionally only by filtered sounds from the air or slopes. Making tracks with snowshoes and wading through deep snow is the perfect recipe for inner equilibrium.
A varied snowshoe trail leads from the Aegerten via Mittelberg and Känelegg and the panorama trail back to the village. Duration approx. 1.5 hours. The trail is signposted.
Curling & Ice skating
The open-air ice rink at the Alpine Sports Centre is prepared for ice skaters, hockey players and curling enthusiasts from December to March. Weekend open-air curling tournaments are held during the winter season. The rinks can also be hired for training sessions and competitions and our "ice men" offer introductory lessons for beginners or groups. Curling stones and shoe protectors are available.
The Alpenruh hotel organises an annual curling tournament – the "Mürren Bär" – in conjunction with the Mürren Tächi Curling Club. The event enjoys a long-standing tradition and has been held on 27 & 28 December since 1990.
Visiting teams are welcome to participate. Find out more information about this event and other curling tournaments in Mürren here:
