Schilthorn summit
After a short trip of just 32 minutes by aerial cable way you reach the summit of the Schilthorn at 2970 meters above sea level. Marvel at the most spectacular panorama in the Alps: Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau – this is the Swiss Skyline.
At the top of Schilthorn you will find the Piz Gloria restaurant, the famous restaurant used in the James Bond film “On Her Majesty ‘s Secret Service”. The restaurant completes one revolution in 55 minutes and serves delicious meals. You can even go up for a romantic champagne brunch.
You can also challenge yourself on The Thrill Walk. It leads down into the vertical walls of the imposing rock massif. Visitors walk along a 200-metre cliff pathway under Birg cable way station. A spine-tingling mountain experience of superlatives!
How to get to the Schilthorn Summit
Access to the village of Mürren and the Schilthorn summit is impossible by road. To get there from the valley, take a series of cable cars, the first from Stechelberg to reach Gimmelwald and Mürren. Since Mürren’s second cable leads to Birg, the third one reaches Schilthorn.
Another way to reach Mürren is to take the cable car from Lauterbrunnen up to Grütschalp and then the train to Mürren or a 1-hour easy hike with majestic views.
Where to stay if you want to visit the Schilthorn Summit
There’s no other place to stay than in Balmers Interlaken hostel. The hostel is a mere 20 minute train ride from Stechelberg and that is exactly where you leave for your first cable car ride.
