01/ Overview
The route
A short geological themed trail through Mürren: an app brings signs of climate change to life through audio, while the route winds between village houses to the Marienkapelle and back.
The short themed trail begins in the heart of the village at the Mürren, Schilthornbahn stop. Following yellow waymarks, it leads through Mürren and draws attention to signs of climate change. The accompanying app provides climate information in audio form; the circuit is also designed as a geological themed trail and is listed in the Erlebnis Geologie directory.
After a largely gentle start, the trail climbs slightly between the houses. After just over one kilometre, the route reaches its highest point at around 1,660 m, near the Alpine Spa. From there, it descends again to the Marienkapelle. This small chapel stands directly on the route and was built in 1892–1893 thanks to a donation from Jecker, a parish priest from Biel.
The hiking trail then continues through the village and ends in Mürren. The Allmendhubelbahn station is around 170 metres from the finish.
