Wengen is slowly getting back to normal after the races, and next weekend it’s Mürren’s turn to host a big event – the Inferno races. It’s a beautiful day so we popped over to see how things are shaping up.

The Inferno downhill is held on a series of public pistes that lead from the top of the Schilthorn down to Lauterbrunnen. The final run down into the valley is rarely open, but all the snow this season means that the racers can practice the entire course. It’s a bit weird seeing racers on the same pistes as normal skiers, but there aren’t too many tourists around so it wasn’t a big problem.

We had a good ski and came home for a late lunch.
