We spent a wonderful day in that wonderful gift of Nature that is the alpine territory that surrounds Piz Gloria. It was very nice to eat in the revolving panoramic restaurant. Everything was easier thanks to Abraham's guide, who was very kind to us. There are two things that would improve the activity, taking into account the total price of the tour: including some food or drink and some transportation to and from Interlaken East Station.

The activity is expensive but it is worth it. It is an experience to live because we have a very beautiful view of the mountains. A short hike from the thrill wall allows you to see a lake with the mountains in the background!

Great guide and everything timed perfectly. It would be a real chore to figure this all out yourself. Perfect day.

Amazing experience! Very friendly and informative guide. Excellent restaurant and breathtaking view.

The price is worth it. Unforgettable experience with the view of the mountains and the thrill walk.
