Bernese Oberland – Jungfrau Region

Mesmerizing Mürren

“You know how every once in awhile you do something and the little voice inside you says ‘There. That’s it. That’s why you’re here.’ …and you get a warm glow in your heart because you know it’s true? Do more of that.” – Jacob Nordby

When people ask us where our favorite place in the world is we always say Switzerland and when we say that we mean – Mürren, Switzerland. This car free village hangs on a cliff, overlooking the Lauterbrunnen Valley. We’ll be staying in two different villages while in this region but the very best view of “the big three” is most definitely in Mürren. Do you see the 3 snowy peaks? The one on the left is the Eiger, the middle one is the Monch and the large peak on the right is the Jungfrau. The story goes that the Monch (or Monk) in the center is protecting the Jungfrau (or young girl) from the Eiger (or ogre) on the left.
This is around sunset and the range takes on different looks depending on the time of day and amount of light. However, they are always spectacular.
Wonderful hiking paths like these to enjoy the amazing views.
Most people hike in some sort of boot except…
this little guy that I spotted! It was lucky that I could get my phone out of my pocket in time to snap this shot.

Obligatory pic – and family “joke” – GOATS!!!
Ok, this is definitely worthy of an internet search – do me a favor and go to YouTube and search Mürren Via Ferrata Experience/ Guided Tour from Mürren to Gimmelwald. It’s both fascinating and terrifying.
We talked about it frequently while we were on hikes like this and wondered how much money we’d have to be offered to take up this crazy challenge! 🤷🏾‍♀️ (spoiler alert – Murph said he’d do it for a surprisingly low amount of money.)
This was pretty cool to see – tree trimming or thinning out – Swiss Alps style!
Here’s hoping that this short video I made works for you. 🤞🏽

  1. Unbelievably beautiful. I looked up the Murren Via Ferrata experience, and my conclusion is that you guys can do this! I’ll take up a collection, you just have to spill the beans about how much 😘.

  4. Breathtaking scenery, and the cows with their bells – such a peaceful sound. Seeing the little boy with no shoes, I want to see Heidi skipping up the path with her goats! 🙂
