Lauterbrunnen–Mürren mountain railway, Mountain railway system in Bernese Oberland, Switzerland
The Lauterbrunnen-Mürren transportation system combines an aerial cableway from Lauterbrunnen to Grütschalp with a narrow-gauge railway extending to Mürren.
The railway commenced operations in 1891, marking the beginning of mountain tourism development in the Lauterbrunnen Valley of the Swiss Alps.
The railway system connects travelers to alpine communities while providing transportation for local residents in the mountain settlements above Lauterbrunnen.
The aerial cableway section takes 4 minutes to climb 690 meters, followed by a 12-minute train journey on the narrow-gauge railway to reach Mürren.
A specialized transfer machine at Grütschalp station moves goods between the cableway and railway, as Mürren lacks direct road access.
