Via ferrata Mürren

Mandatory equipment: climbing harness, via ferrata set, climbing helmet, lanyard (sling and locking carabiner), climbing backpack, and sturdy footwear.

Optional equipment: via ferrata gloves

For the via ferrata walk, we have good fitness, sure-footedness and a head for heights, suitable equipment, and knowledge of mountain behavior.

If inexperienced, it is advisable to complete the via ferrata with a mountain guide. We only enter the rock face in good weather – and leave immediately in case of a sudden weather change or thunderstorm warning. A carabiner remains always on the safety rope.

Participation is at your own risk. Jungfrau Region Tourism AG disclaims all liability.

From Basel and Geneva, we travel via Bern to Interlaken and onwards to the Lauterbrunnen valley. From Zurich, the fastest route leads via Lucerne and the Brünig Pass to the Jungfrau Region. Coming from the south, we reach the destination via Grimsel or Susten Pass (summer only) or Simplon Pass (with subsequent car transport through the Lötschberg).

Thanks to its central location in Europe, Switzerland is served by international trains from over 12 countries. Within Switzerland, we take Intercity trains from Basel and Lucerne directly to the Jungfrau Region. Coming from Zurich, a change of train in Bern is necessary. Trains run every half hour. At Interlaken Ost, we take the Bernese Oberland Railway (BOB) to Lauterbrunnen, then the cable car to Grütschalp. From there, it is another 14 minutes by train to Mürren. Alternatively, from Lauterbrunnen, we can take a bus to Stechelberg, the valley station of the Schilthorn cable car, to reach Mürren via Gimmelwald.

Mürren is car-free. We park in the Lauterbrunnen car park (online reservation possible) or in the uncovered car park at the Schilthorn cable car in Stechelberg.
