Off piste skiing in Murren ****

The is a decent amount of off piste skiing in Murren and the Jungfrau Region as a whole. However, given that Murren tends to be a lot quieter than Grindelwald and Wengen you can often still find fresh tracks days after it as snowed. There is loads of easily accessible off piste but if you want to try any of the more adventurous routes such as the north eastern face down from the top of Schilthorn, then make sure you are with someone who knows what they are doing. In Murren from 2014/15 they are going to be operating a new initiative called 'First Tracks' which for just 40CHF allows you access to the mountain from 7.30 in order to guarantee the freshest lines and best snow conditions. This might not be essential given that Murren does not tend to get tracked out that quickly but if you want the sweetest possible lines then it will be well worth the money.
