Berner Oberland Early June - Snow and Murren

It will be entirely dependent on snow this year, so it’s impossible to say until late May what is going to be open. Did you have specific ones in mind?

They don’t always stay in the same place - sometimes Hotel Jungfrau, sometimes Blumental, sometimes Alpenruh. They aren’t the best options in Mürren though.

We arrived in Murren on June 2, 2024 and at the altitude of Murren and on the trails that go from the Allemandhubel Funicular, snow was mostly not a concern. We encountered a few snowy patches on the Allemandhubel to Grutschalp Hike (3.1 mi) but we were able to traverse those areas without issue. As for lodging, we stayed at the Hotel Edelweiss and loved it. We found Murren to be a great central location from which to explore the area.

Obviously weather varies so I can only report my experience from staying in Murren in June about five years ago.

The Schilthorn peak still had snow; too much for us to hike down from there. Instead we got off at Birg; still some snow, but able to hike without special equipment. Everything below Birg was snow free. Everything at the Murren / Gimmelwald / Winteregg level will be snow free.

We stayed at Chalet Fontana and loved it. Fantastic view across the valley (http://www.ferntree.ch/chalet/fontana_summer.htm).

Thanks gang for your responses. We have booked at the Hotel Edelweiss and are looking forward to returning to the Berner Oberland Alps
