Description

The Hindenburg is very popular amongst beginner skiers, although it offers some good options for all levels of skier.

Once you disembark from the Schiltgrat chair, a wide open and sunny start to the run awaits.

It's perfect for making some wide turns although by the end of the day it can become quite cut up.

Snowmaking installed up here has improved the corner at the end of the top section, but still be careful as it can become very scrapped and icy, even in the morning.

Once you reach the corner, turn left and follow a narrow path that traverses the steep slope on the side of the Schiltgrat ridge.

Advanced skiers should have a go at some of the testing routes that drop off the side of this track, but be careful to heed local avalanche warnings and pick up some local knowledge first.

If staying on the piste, try and keep your speed quite low as it can get busy and also bumpy in poor snow conditions.

Once in the Blumenthal bowl however the piste opens up, but be sure here (once clear of the narrow section) to pick up some speed to save you from a long pole out to the Sonnenberg restaurant.

From Sonnenberg follow the path down into the trees, where the run once again opens up into a fairly wide piste.

Its shady aspect and popularity can lead to some icy stretches, and take care to look out for beginners winding across the run whilst skiing the Bob-Run.

You have the options to return to Mürren via the Bob-Run (marked by a red sign) or to carry on down to either the Birg cable car or the Schiltgrat chair.

If you're heading to the latter then watch out for icy conditions on the two steeper pitches, especially at the very bottom coming into the lift queue (which is usually no longer than 2 minutes).
