Murren: best resort for village charm
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.MURREN has all the ingredients that go to make a truly captivating mountain retreat. It is tiny (making nearby Wengen seem positively metropolitan) and almost entirely old and traditional in its architectural style; it is also traffic-free to a degree that very few rivals can claim. It is reached by funicular and mountain railway and enjoys some of the most spectacular views in the Alps.
PLUS POINTS: Blissfully peaceful village. Wonderful views. Glorious black run from the Schilthorn. Sunny setting. Smart sports centre.
MINUS POINTS: Small ski area. Claustrophobic - especially for apres-ski. No cross-country skiing. Queues for Schilthorn cable-cars at times.
