The cable car heads up away from the rail station

The access to the base station of the Bergbahn cable car is at the far end of gleis (platform / track) 1, a pedestrian crossing leads across the street and the station is straight ahead on the other side.
If your train arrives at gleis 2 or 3, you can use the passage under the tracks to access gleis 1 - elevators and slopes are available.
The ride is covered by the Swiss Travel Pass, a Swiss Day Pass and appropriate Eurail and Interrail passes.

Left luggage lockers are available in the Bergbahn base station.

The cable car departs every 15 mins and when facing the summit on the ascent, the best of the views are on the left hand side.

On the way up...

...and on the way down.

You can either sit on the level by the doors or climb the stairs to seats with slightly better views

The trains used on the BLM route from Grütschalp to Murren

The smart trains with step-free boarding used on the BLM rail route

The BLM Railway is on the side of the mountain, so all of the views from the train are on the left hand side, when facing forward on the train to Mürren,
So when the gondola is busy, it can be a good idea to remain by its doors, so that you can be among the first to board the train.

In the village of Mürren by the BLM rail station

At the BLM station the shortest route to the Schilthorn cable car is to take the sloped path to the right

Another cable car from Mürren goes up to the mountain top at Schilthorn, which was used as a location in the James Bond movie, On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
Though it's a 10 to 20 min walk away on the other side of the village.
