Where to stay in Lauterbrunnen Switzerland — Lauterbrunnen or Murren? At 62, after losing 104 lbs to hike the Swiss Alps, I tested five home bases in Switzerland.

In this Episode 3 of my Switzerland Home Base Test, I compare car-free Murren to crowded Lauterbrunnen for views, quiet mornings, and access to the best Switzerland hiking. I hike the Murren North Face Trail to Allmendhubel, ride the Schilthorn cable car via Birg Thrill Walk to Piz Gloria, day-trip down to Trummelbach Falls and Staubbach Falls, and take the Lauterbrunnen to Wengen train for the Mannlichen Royal Walk.
If you're deciding where to stay in Switzerland for the Jungfrau Region, Bernese Oberland, Grindelwald, Wengen, and Interlaken day trips — this is why Murren won for me, and when you should still pick Lauterbrunnen.

I also met Brett and Jana from Aplins in the Alps on Schilthorn — they helped plan my trip! And we had never met - such are the lives of a YouTube creators.  I purchased two of their guides - outstanding!!   ⁨@AplinsintheAlps⁩
