• From either airport, you can easily hop on the train to Lauterbrunnen station which is located just outside Murren.
• For car hire prices, we recommend you visit our online partner Rentalcars.
• If you're here for the skiing then obviously you need to come during the winter months, from late November until early April. If you want to avoid the crowds though then don't come around Christmas, New Year or February Half Term - January may be your best bet.
• The average daily temperature climbs to 18°C in July and so this is the perfect time to come experience Murren in the summer. There may be some tourists around at this time, however it's not nearly as busy as in the winter.
