Mürren is a tiny car-free village high on a cliff edge; its handful of hotels are all a short walk from the lifts and the Schilthorn cable car.
Mürren clings to a cliff edge opposite the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau, a car-free village reached only by cable car and mountain railway. Its 54 km of piste are compact but high and snow-sure, with the Schilthorn at 2970 m serving steep, exhilarating descents back to the village. British skiers more or less invented downhill racing here in the 1920s, and the legendary Inferno race still runs every winter.
