Introduction

Piz Gloria is the revolving restaurant crowning the Schilthorn at about 2,970 metres, made world-famous as the filming location of the 1969 James Bond film On Her Majesty's Secret Service. The cable car ride up via Muerren delivers a front-row panorama of the Eiger, Moench and Jungfrau on clear days. At the summit you will find the interactive Bond World exhibition and a restaurant that completes a full rotation in roughly 55 minutes, giving every table its share of the peaks. Summer hiking or winter skiing, it is one of the region's most memorable alpine experiences.
