Arrived in Mürren this afternoon. It is in the Berner Oberland region, and is reached by cable car or train. We had a run-around with the transportation that had us driving back and forth between two valley towns two full round trips and five visits to the parking lots on each end. I’ll spare the details, but the lift in Stechelberg does not accept the Jungfraubahn pass (which was quite expensive). To get to Mürren on that pass, you have to ride the cable car from Lauterbrunnen and the train from there. Phew.

So we missed the last funicular train up that starts the recommended loop hike here, and we decided to just walk to the edge of the village and sit on the bench there for a while. That’s where the one photo is from with the waterfall.

Then we surveyed the eating in town and selected Hotel Alpina for their great indoor views as it was getting chilly. More Swiss comfort food, and back to the Eiger Guesthouse which is our first English-primary hotel. Many more English speaking tourists in this area than anywhere else.

Tomorrow we are weather watching as it they’ve pulled the rug out from under us. It was sunny all the rest of the week for the past week or so in the forecasts, but now they decided it is in fact going to be cloudy and maybe rain…
