Ski Mürren: resort guide - Telegraph Mürren is one of a trio of resorts set amid the fabulous scenery of the Jungfrau group. It has an amazing position, set on a shelf high above the valley floor, across from Wengen, and can be reached only by cable car from Stechelberg or from Lauterbrunnen (via Grütschalp, where you change to a train). To get to Wengen, you go down to Lauterbrunnen by lift or piste, and catch the cog railway up. You can then ski to Grindelwald, but getting to the First area on the far side of Grindelwald is a long trek. The village is tiny by general resort standards. But it's 1km from end to end, and there is no transport, so it pays to plan your end-of-day return to the village with a bit of care. Glorious panorama The views from the village and from the Schilthorn are magnificent. The grandeur of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau across the valley as you descend the slopes is outstanding. Good on the upper slopes The Jungfrau region does not have a good snow record - but we've always found Mürren has the best snow in the area. When Wengen-Grindelwald (and Mürren's lower slopes) have problems, the slopes up at Birg often have packed powder snow. The runs from below Engetal to Allmendhubel and parts of the lower slopes have snowmaking, as does the woodland path on down to Lauterbrunnen. No recent reports We lack recent reports. But the school has a long tradition of teaching Brits. Attractive Mürren is attractive for a quiet family holiday, not least because of the relaxed, safe and snowy village, and the free facilities. There is a nursery slope with a rope tow. Children as young as three can now have lessons.
