At the foot of the Schilthorn, a sunny terrace above the Lauterbrunnen valley, Mürren maintains its 19th-century atmosphere by allowing no private vehicles on its narrow streets.
Access to this rustic chalet village is from Lauterbrunnen by funicular to Grütschalp and from there by a 5.5-kilometer narrow-gauge railroad or from Stechelberg by a cableway that goes past waterfalls and craggy rock faces into the center of the village. Wengen, on the rocky plateau opposite, is also accessible by cableway.
Mürren developed during the 19th century into a popular resort, particularly among the British, who founded the Inferno Race
