==History== The Allmendhubelbahn was brought into service in 1912, initially operating only in winter.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Mürren traditionell: Traditionen. Geschichtliche Ereignisse|url=http://www.muerren.ch/geschichte/|website=muerren.ch}}</ref> When opened, Allmenhubebahn connected a bobsleigh run, which closed in the 1930s. However, the 1969 film [[On Her Majesty's Secret Service (film)|On Her Majesty's Secret Service]] rebuilt the run for filming an action sequence between [[James Bond]] and enemy [[Ernst Stavro Blofeld]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=On Her Majesty’s Secret Service: Filming the Thrills, Chills and Spills of 007|url=https://theasc.com/articles/on-her-majestys-secret-service|website=theasc.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=BOGNER, Bond and Bobsleds|url=https://www.bogner.com/en-gb/bogner-bond-and-bobsleds/82.html|website=bogner.com}}</ref> A toboggan sled run remains at Allmendhubel to this day.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Allmendhubel - Mürren Bob Run|url=https://www.interlaken.ch/en/experiences/tour/allmendhubel-muerren-bob-run|website=interlaken.ch}}</ref> In 1996, [[Jungfraubahn]] Railways wanted to decommission the funicular railway and replace it with a chairlift.
