The Petschenhaus is located in the heart of the former Walser settlement of Mürren. This heritage can still be seen today in the architecture of the houses and heard in the local Mürren dialect.

Cosy – room for the whole family or friends!
The living area opens directly onto the balcony and garden. There's plenty of entertainment for bad weather too: board games, card games and puzzles are ready for cosy games nights.
