This Swiss Village Can Only be Reached by Train or the World's Steepest Gondola-and It's Home to Stunning Waterfalls and a 360-degree Rotating Mountaintop Restaurant
Briefly

Lauterbrunnen Valley, home to the historic village of Mürren, impresses with steep mountains and stunning nature. Accessible only by train or gondola, Mürren is free from cars, making it a tranquil retreat surrounded by majestic peaks and beautiful landscapes, including Switzerland's tallest waterfall. While skiing remains less crowded than typical resorts, summer offers excellent hiking routes. Highlights include cozy local businesses and a revolving restaurant atop the Schilthorn, providing unparalleled mountain views. Visitors can enjoy an authentic and warm atmosphere through family-run hotels and services.
"We are sitting on a gemstone here," Constanze Trommer, owner of Café Liv, tells Travel + Leisure. "Nature-wise, you have everything you need. You have mountains, you have forests, you have water all around."
"You can ski-in, ski-out in all of Mürren because we have snow-covered streets until the end of February," says Samuel Bichsel, general manager of the Hotel Mürren Palace.
