    Short but great – a trail for beginners, advanced riders, and professionals.

    Made for the senses: Your eyes enjoy the beautiful mountain landscape, your nose breathes in the pure mountain air – and under your feet, you feel the forest floor. After a short descent towards the BLM station, you walk briefly along the track before the actual trail begins just past the Alpenblick Hotel on the left. The beautiful ascent leads through the forest to Mittelberg, where you should definitely take a short break – if only for the view of Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau. Then turn left. Again, the trail goes through the forest, climbing up to Chänelegg. Here, in the peace of nature, you have a beautiful view of Mürren. After a short flow trail, the descent leads back down towards Allmiboden. About 150 m after the valley station, a trail goes right onto the Upper Panorama Trail. Follow this to the large barn, where you turn left onto the Lower Panorama Trail. The descent leads back to the starting point. Destination reached!

    Author’s recommendation

    Take a cloth bag with you in autumn; there are many mushrooms and berries along the way.

    Public transport

    Thanks to its central location in Europe, Switzerland is served by international trains from over 12 countries. Within Switzerland, Intercity trains run directly from Basel and Lucerne to the Jungfrau Region. Travelers from Zurich change trains in Bern. The trains run every half hour.

    From Interlaken Ost station, we reach Mürren in one hour. We take the blue and yellow train of the Bernese Oberland Railway (BOB) to Lauterbrunnen. We board the front part of the train, as the rear part goes from Zweilütschinen to Grindelwald. After that, we have two options. Via Grütschalp (gondola and train): At Lauterbrunnen station, we cross the road and take the gondola to Grütschalp. Here we change to a small train that takes us to Mürren. The journey from Lauterbrunnen to Mürren takes 23 minutes. Or via Stechelberg (bus and gondola): In Lauterbrunnen we board the bus towards Stechelberg and travel to the Schilthornbahn station. Here the gondola takes us in 10 minutes via Gimmelwald to Mürren. This route takes 32 minutes.

    Directions

    The fastest way to the Jungfrau Region from Basel and Geneva is via Bern. From Zurich, the route via Lucerne and the Brünig Pass is recommended. The pass is open year-round.

    From the south, access to the Jungfrau Region is via the Grimsel or Susten Pass. Both passes are only open in summer. Alternatively, the Simplon Pass with a car shuttle through the Lötschberg tunnel is an option.

    Mürren is car-free. If you travel by car, you need to leave it in Lauterbrunnen or Stechelberg and use public transport. The journey from Interlaken to Lauterbrunnen takes about 20 minutes, and to Stechelberg about 25 minutes.
