Bergbahn Lauterbrunnen - Mürren

The funicular Lauterbrunnen-Mürren was built in 1891 to facilitate the access to the village of Mürren which is located on a plateau above Lauterbrunnen. In fact the funicular links Lauterbrunnen to Grütschalp and
there a train, of the same company (BLM), go to Mürren. There
are only two ways to go to Mürren: the funicular and an aerial
cable way from Langwald. So Mürren is a village without any cars.
The funicular and the train are very important because they carry
foods, goods and people. The funicular was also used to transport
the cabins of the BLM train!
A solution must be agreed upon
by the end of 2006. |
