Murren

Switzerland, Central Europe

Switzerland facts and history in brief

Murren is a picturesque, beautiful village at 5400 feet above sea level, in the Bernese Oberland.
The village is on the way to the majestic peak of the Schilthorn at 9600 feet.
At the Schilthorn is the revolving restaurant Piz Gloria with its awesome 360 degree panorama.
There is cable car from the village to Schilthorn/Piz Gloria .
The James Bond movie, “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service”, with Diana Rigg and 'Kojak', Telly Savalas was filmed here.
Murren is high up above the Lauterbrunnen valley and the view of the majestic Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau is awesome.
Murren is another carless township, except the occassional electric vehicle.
Cars have to be left at Lauterbrunnen, from where you can catch a funicular or cogwheel train to Murren.

Normally if you visiting the place, you will probably have to catch a cogwheel train at Interlaken East Station to Lauterbrunnen, where you catch another cogwheel train to Murren.
You have to walk practically right across town to catch the gondola to the Schilthorn, but it worth the walk, the village is very picturesque and beautiful.

Well, what can I say?! I put the above story together all on my own. Good, ah?
