Mürren is a medieval village in Switzerland that had almost nothing to do with the outside world until just a few years ago; But now the world’s most steep telecommunications travelers take the travelers to this four -man village.
The BBC reporter has described its conditions after traveling to this strange village. The report says that Moron is a village in Switzerland dating back to the thirteenth century. The village, full of stone and wooden huts, is located on a natural hill on the slopes of Schilthorn, 2 meters and overlooking the village of Lauterbrunnen. Interestingly, engineers have never been able to connect the village to the outside world because of its unique position.
Access to the village of Morn
On a cold day from December 5, I got on the train in Geneva to start a three -hour trip to Lotarbronon. Lutbronon is a rural village in the Alps and between Interlake and Kuh Jungfravo in central Switzerland. When I got there, I saw myself on the eve of entering the mountainous village of Morn, where there was no car.
Overall, Moron’s residents had to go down the valley to prepare the needs of their lives and return the route up to three hours again. In the year 6, with the construction of a narrow railway, things got a little better. The railway connected Moron to the mountainous village of GrutSchalp and a cable train station that reached the Lotarbronon. In year 2, a single -track telecommunication was also set up that takes residents to a village without another car, Gimmelwald, above the valley.
But the day I arrived, the village, located at a height of 1.5 meters in the Bernese Oberland area, was connected directly to the lower valley and the outside world with the opening of the world’s most steep telephoto. It also raises passengers in just four minutes, 2 meters. When you board this trap, you will see the most spectacular Swiss Alps.
Let me tell you from continuing the trip. After I arrived in the parking lot, I boarded the glass cabin to reach Morn village by passing the rocks. The trip with this telecommunications was so soft and quiet that even the very high slope, which was precisely 4.9 %, did not notice until my ears were captured. It may be interesting to know that the world’s most steep telecommunications record was previously owned by Loen Skylift with a 5 % slope in Norway.
Life of indigenous people in the village of Morn
Michael Abgoln, one of the native of Murlen, says:
For many school people going with telecommunications is likely to be strange; But for me it was a regular task every day. There is no need to get out of Murlen to meet the basic needs; But for medical examinations and hairdressers we have to go down the cliff; That is, where many of us have parked our cars.
Abgolen says:
This village has few residents and when you grew up here, you know almost everyone and that’s why everyone feels intimate together; Of course, some travelers are like the natives because they come to Morn every year.
Hotels and Attractions of the Morn Village
Upon arriving at the Hotel Alpanruh, I entered the balcony and saw an amazing 2 -degree view of the peaks of Eiger, Monch and Jongfrav, and soon realized that the best way to surf in this small, car -free village was walking.
The streets of Morn are full of cozy guests and rural restaurants where you can try alpine cheeses and dried sausages. You can also buy postcards, Swiss chocolates, coco -clock watches and cow’s bell. One of the main symbols of the village is the Hotel Mürren Palace, built in year 6 and is known as the “first Swiss Palace”. The hotel has so far hosted the skiers and famous Hollywood actors. The hotel also has a magnificent dance hall where the aristocrats were gathered in the twentieth century.
Winter recreation in the village of Morn
Although Murlen is very small, it is an important pole for winter sports. This quiet village, which was home to the Walzer people, became known by British skiers in the late 19th century.
Bernard Lenn, a village resident who considers himself a professional ski, says:
My grandfather, Henry Lenn, first came to Murlen in the 1980s, and when it was surprised by its beauties, he brought British tourists here to see the three magnificent peaks of Ayger, Monk and Jungfrav. Later, my climber’s grandfather, Arnold Lenn and his wife, Muller, settled here. In year 2, Arnold founded the world’s first slalom competition. Mobel and a group of British women also set up a women’s ski club here.
Arnold’s arrival in the area led to the formation of the Kandahar Ski Club ski club in year 2 and the opening of the country’s first ski school in Murlen. The following year, in February, the first World Alpine Ski Championships were also held in the same small town.
Nearly a century later, the surrounding mountains became a 2 -kilometer ski resort. These mountains are connected to telecommunications, cable train and telecommunications. When conditions are favorable due to snowfall, it can be skiing from the summit of Shaytarn to the floor of the valley in Lotarbronon.
Scottish Alan Ramsey, who has lived in the village for more than 5 years, is one of the organizers of the International Inferno (International Inferno – the world’s largest amateur ski competition), says:
Drinking coffee at the summit and skiing with family and friends are the things I do to spend winter days in Morlen.
Summer recreation in the village of Morn
According to locals, Murlen’s attractions are not just about skiing. From June to September, the area becomes one of the most popular centers for paragliders. Just imagine that you will see turquoise lakes and more than 5 waterfalls through the rocky cliffs. In addition, you can see the lush, flower -covered hills or a rangelands where the sheep are.
Blinda Boheler, a runner -up and one of the natives of Morn, says:
The mountains of this area are like a native that constantly change. In winter, they are white. With the winter going, you smell the spring. As the earth is heated, the blossoms appear and the rangelands are full of flowers. In the summer, as the air gets warmer, their mood will change again.
Boheler recommends those who come to the area outside the ski season:
Go in the heart of nature and walk. You don’t have to walk too much, just walk in nature to see a full -fledged beauty. The air is very clean and fresh. I grew up in Murlen; But I always tell myself that I am a native tourist, because I still stop while walking to take a photo. What I feel in the paths I see and hear is literally irrelevant!
Family recreation in the village of Morn
Bernard’s wife, Julia Len, who guides the family and women’s walking groups in Moren, says:
People are not just here to buy or visit the sights, but also to experience life with skiing, hiking or much simpler work such as watching unique or abusive landscapes in the Grauseeli Lake.
On the advice of Ramsey, I decided to experience one of the fun things in this village. So I rented a wooden sled from the Intercourse store, boarded the cable train and went to the Almendhubel Station (the starting point of the famous three -meter -long sled route in Bob Chase in James Bond). After a couple of rounds, with a childish smile and a surprise, I went down the soft, snowy slopes of the valley and through the pine trees and the countryside.
Boheler says:
When I was a kid and raised in Murlen, I didn’t know how lucky I was, because everything was normal for me. As a teenager I felt the village was very small and limited; But after a little trip and returning to Murlen, I fell in love again. Now when I wake up here, I often don’t know what to say about the beauty of it. Morrin’s description is difficult, because no word does the right. This is where you have to feel it.
Only after two days of staying in Murlen, I think I know what she’s talking about.
