Mürren-Schilthorn
About the area
Mürren/Schilthorn has 39 km of marked pistes, split into 17 km of blue, 15 km of red and 8 km of black. Beginners are well served: 42% of the terrain is green or blue, and there are 14 short easy runs right next to a lift base, so you can repeat the same slope without long traverses. Experts will find the area limited — black, expert and freeride terrain makes up only 20%, and the longest vertical on a single run is 775 m. Families should note that four of the lifts are gondolas or cable cars, which is easier with small children than chairlift loading.
The ski area runs from 863 m up to 2,949 m, so the upper sections hold snow better than the valley. Eighteen lifts serve it: 7 chairlifts, 5 funiculars, 4 cable cars, one T-bar and one platter. The longest single run measures 3,877 m.
