Mürren (1560m), an authentic car-free village perched on a a mountain shelf above the Lauterbrunnental, across the spectacular Eiger, Mönch und Jungfrau mountains and at the bottom of the Schilthorn mountain (Piz Gloria) . Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Lord Byron, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy once were among the first admiring visitors of this valley.
During the 1960s a more worldly guest by the name of James Bond raced the skiiing slopes of Schilthorn in her majesty's secret service..
