In 1893, to connect his hotel with the railway station of the Lauterbrunnen-Murren cable car, Johann Sterchi-Wettach, owner of the then Grand Hotel and Kurhaus Mürren, contracted with the company A. Oehler in Wildegg for a 0.5 km (0.31 mi) tramway to bring his guests from BLM station.

The one-way fare is 30 cents per person, which is approximately equal to the hourly wage of a worker.

[1][2] At 500 mm (19+3⁄4 in), the Murren runway had the smallest gauge of all Swiss railways with federal concession for passenger transport.

The tramway transported around 1000 guests and 700 tonnes (690 LT) of goods per summer season.

The fate of the goods carts is unknown, however the passenger car remained and has been restored and placed inside the BLM station on display.
