Schilthorn-Piz Gloria

Mountain excursionsSchilthorn-Piz Gloria

The celebrity among the peaks enthrals James Bond fans

Until 1967, the Schilthorn was treated as an insider tip among alpinists and mountaineers. Thanks to the Schilthorn cable car it is now also accessible to the broader public.

The Piz Gloria panorama restaurant is located at the summit of the Schilthorn. In 45 minutes it rotates around its own axis and offers 360° views onto 200 mountain peaks. Just as good are the hiking trails in the nearby surroundings: Visitors can enjoy the vista of the mountain range Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau and discover the region’s versatile flora by hiking on the Flower Trail. There are a lot of activities that leave little to be desired and offer unforgettable moments, such as a 007 brunch, a sunset at the Schilthorn summit or a visit to the Igloo-Village. In summer sports enthusiasts aim for their personal best at the Inferno Half Marathon. In the colder season winter sports fans conquer the highest ski area in the Bernese Oberland.

Celebrations of a successful mission

Ever since the making of the Bond classic “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service” in 1968, the Schilthorn has become a magnet for fans of the royal secret agent. The interactive Bond World 007 exhibition welcomes visitors and gives them the chance to act out key scenes of the movie. The 007 Walk of Fame in honour of all the cast and film crew invites visitors for a stroll. To round off the experience, you should head to the Piz Gloria View and its photo point, which allows you to take your picture against the backdrop of the three legendary Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau peaks.
