High above the deep basin of the Lauterbrunnen Valley, the winter hike from the Grütschalp to Mürren captivates with fantastic views of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. The world-famous mountain trio is visible for the entire duration of the hike. The hiking trail meanders along the slope at sunny elevations and is extremely well-maintained. The final destination of the tour is the car-free alpine village of Mürren. Its decorative wooden houses exude warmth and rustic charm. Children and adults frolic on the outdoor ice rink and practise their skating skills in the fresh air. On the return journey to the Grütschalp, the Männlichen and Faulhorn mountain ranges in the background create a panoramic view that is nothing short of magnificent. If you want to shorten the hike by a few kilometres, follow the trail to Winteregg and take the train to Mürren or Grütschalp.
