This is a great, short introductory hike. It's also perfect for families and those who aren't so athletic. You'll see a turn off for the trail which leads to the top of Schilthorn; only for the fit and adventurous hikers. As you look towards the valley, you'll see pension Suppenalp in the distance; that's where you're headed. Along the way you'll cross the Murrenbach; dip your toes in for a refreshing break! As you take the path just below the restaurant, you'll be heading in the direction of the Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau mountains. From here you'll pass through woods, cross some small wooden bridges, go through a gate or two, and finally find yourself coming face to face with a few cows and maybe some pigs, grazing happily in the fields before arriving back in Mürren.
