The event
The Ämmitaler Trophy is the tournament with which the CC Mürren-Tächi curling club starts its winter, and 2026 is its 15th edition. Nicole and Mathias Zurwerra run it for the club, and the games are played outdoors on the ice rink in front of the Alpines Sportzentrum at Höhematte, in the village of Mürren.
Each evening has two games, the first from 18:30 to 20:00 and the second from 20:30 to 22:00, so every team plays 4 rounds over the two evenings. All teams play in one group, and the final ranking follows the Schenkel system, which ranks teams by points, then ends, then stones.
If you would rather try curling than enter a team, the Alpines Sportzentrum also runs guest curling on its rinks in winter: sessions of about 1 hour for two teams of four, from CHF 30 per person according to Jungfrau Region, booked in advance. The organiser has not published details for spectators, so if you plan to come and watch the tournament, ask the sports centre before you go.
