Schilthorn, Switzerland

Is there anywhere with better views of the magnificent Bernese Oberland mountain world than the 2970 m Schilthorn summit in Switzerland? Just the 32-minute aerial cableway ride past cascading waterfalls and rugged cliffs is an exceptional experience. At the summit you are met by the most spectacular 360° panoramic view in the entire Alpine region! And this view can be admired whilst relaxing in the Piz Gloria, the world’s first revolving restaurant and the set for the James Bond film “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service”. Watch the breathtaking high-Alpine panorama of over 200 summits gliding majestically past. The far-reaching views extend from the Eiger, Mönch & Jungfrau (UNESCO World Heritage), along the Bernese and Valais Alps to Mont-Blanc, over the Swiss Mittelland to the Jura chain and the Black Forest in Germany. The octagonal Touristorama screens a panorama video with superb shots of the Mürren-Schilthorn region and visitors can enjoy the exploits of Agent 007 with excerpts from the James Bond film. A spacious vantage terrace, a Top Shop for souvenirs, James Bond bar and Internet access complete the summit attractions. The Schilthorn is the highest-altitude ski region in the Bernese Oberland and a heaven for experienced hikers. It is also home to the gruelling Inferno Triathlon in summer and the International Inferno Ski Race in January.
