We flew from Copenhagen to Zurich and then purchased train tickets that would get us to Lauterbrunnen. In Lauterbrunnen, we boarded the cable car that took us up the side of the mountain. The last transfer was onto to the narrow gauge train that took us the last few miles into Murren. Murren is the quintessential traditional Swiss village that has no road access and therefore, no cars. From the train station, we walked with our luggage down the village Main Street to our hotel - The Hotel Blumental. Our room was in the charming chalet behind the main hotel building. We got settled in our room and were ready to explore by mid afternoon. We had a late lunch/early dinner at the Hotel Alpina on the outside deck that overlooks the Lauterbrunnen valley.
After we had eaten, we set out to hike some trails on the mountainside above Murren. We passed waterfalls, Swiss cows wearing bells, and had the most gorgeous views in every direction. We took way too many pictures because around every turn was a view more beautiful than the last.

We could hear the Swiss cow bells ringing all across the mountainside
