Day 4 - Murren, Allmendhubel & Gimmelwald
Allmendhubel
Murren
Walk to Gimmelwald
We took the trains to Murren then the cable car up to Allmendhubel to enjoy the playground and nice views. After returning to Murren, we had a picnic with hot food from Coop, then walked down to Gimmelwald. The scenery was beautiful everywhere we went!
Allmendhubel
The brief funicular ride up from Murren drops you off right by the fun playground, which was enjoyed by kids and adults alike. After having some fun at the playground, we walked up the hill to enjoy the view, then walked along the short Flower Trail, taking lots of pictures along the way.
Murren
Murren is a beautiful car-free town as well as a base for adrenaline-rushing activities like the Murren Via Ferrata and paragliding. There is a nice grassy area for picnicking, and the Coop supermarket here has some selections of hot food, which is a nice change from all the sandwiches. It’s nice to stroll around and enjoy the cute flower-adorned wooden houses before walking the trail down to Gimmelwald.
Trail to Gimmelwald
The trail from Murren to Gimmelwald is a popular one, and for good reason. As we got close to Gimmelwald, we came across a tiny unmanned shop where we dropped some coins in the cash box for a delicious brownie that got big thumbs up by our girls. Walk a bit further down, and you’ll see popular Pension Gimmelwald serving the award-winning Schwarz Monch dark beer! The Honesty Shop next door is a fun detour as well.
