There’s a tremendous 360-degree, 200-peak panorama from the 2970m Schilthorn, best appreciated from the Skyline viewing platform or Piz Gloria revolving restaurant. On a clear day, you can see from Titlis around to Mont Blanc, and across to the German Black Forest. Yet some visitors seem more preoccupied with practising their delivery of the line, ‘The name’s Bond, James Bond’, because a few scenes from On Her Majesty’s Secret Service were shot here in 1968–69.
The new Bond World 007 interactive exhibition gives you the chance to pose for photos secret-agent style and relive movie moments in a helicopter and bob sled.
From Interlaken, take a Sfr122 excursion trip (Half-Fare Card and Swiss Card 50% off, Swiss Pass 65% off) to Lauterbrunnen, Grütschalp, Mürren, Schilthorn, returning through Stechelberg to Interlaken. A return from Lauterbrunnen (via Grütschalp) and Mürren costs Sfr107 as does the return journey via the Stechelberg cable car. A return from Mürren is Sfr77. Ask about discounts for early-morning trips.
En route from Mürren, the cable car goes through the Birg station (2677m), where you can stop to take in marvellous views.
