About this audio guide
This guide to Mürren, the car-free cliff-top village above Lauterbrunnen near Interlaken, follows Arnold Lunn, an Englishman who turned these slopes into his personal testing ground in the nineteen-twenties. It reaches back to a near-fatal fall on a Welsh mountain, his father's hotels in the village, and the old habit of judging ski races on style. Best heard somewhere in the village with the Schilthorn rising behind you.
