Introduction to hiking down the mountain: The starting point for hiking down the mountain from Schilthorn is Birg, the second stop of the cable car. Most of the villages along the way are small hotels, cafes, ice cream shops, gift shops, post offices and visitor information centers that welcome tourists from all over the world. Among them, Gimmelwald and Muerren are also very beautiful natural villages. The villages are full of quaint wooden houses. If the weather is fine and the sunset hangs low in the sky, the surrounding peaks seem to be within reach, and you will think that you have entered Heaven.
