Glide past thundering waterfalls and craggy cliffs to the village of Gimmelwald, while admiring the mountain meadow landscapes and the valley floor far below. From Mürren, you’ll first go to the station Birg, which lies on an imposing rock head, and then to the Schilthorn. From the summit, enjoy a unique panoramic view of a high alpine world and the UNESCO World Heritage sites of Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau in your line of sight. The Schilthorn was the shooting location for the legendary James Bond film "In Her Majesty's Secret Service." Learn details about the shoot, see the original script, and try out your James Bond skills.

Back in Mürren, don’t miss the opportunity to take a walk through the car-free and charming mountain village With its old chalets, it has retained its old world charm.

Schilthorn Piz Gloria Private Tour from Basel

2. Schilthorn Piz Gloria Private Tour from Basel

Your tour begins as you meet your tour guide in your hotel lobby. You will then make the journey from the Lauterbrunnen valley to the top of the Birg. 2100m above sea level. First, take a 2-hour ride on the intercity train to Interlaken East. From there, take a local train to the Lauterbrunnen. Then ride a bus from Lauterbrunnen to Stechelberg. As you ride, you’ll pass the “Staubach” waterfall, the helicopter base, and the steep mountain walls. After arriving at Stechelberg, you’ll begin your ascent up the mountain via cable car. Ascend 2100-meters above sea level up the Birg. Once there, walk the “thrill walk,” a steel walk that hugs the side of the mountain. The “thrill walk” has netting that you can climb through that will almost give you the feeling that you are floating hundreds of meters above the ground. Take a second cable car and ascend to 2970-meters above sea level, into a majestic world surrounded by mountains. After your cable car ride, head to the James Bond exhibition where you will see memorabilia from the 007 films. Enjoy lunch at the 360-degree rotating restaurant. The restaurant was partly financed by the James Bond production team and served as the setting for the 1969 Bond film “Her Majesty’s Secret Service.” Take in fantastic views of the famous peaks of “Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau,” in what was once a James Bond villain’s secret lair. In clear weather, you may even be able to see Mont Blanc. Afterward, your tour guide will lead you to the intercity train back to Basel, and then finally, back to your hotel.

We got on the cable car at Schtelberg station. Parking was easy and not as crowded as we thought it would be. Cable car transfers were easy and orderly. We got to the Piz Gloria smoothly! It was so gorgeous up there! We thoroughly enjoyed our trip. We stopped by Murrem on the way down. We got cought by rain. But eating lunch at the Belleville hotel was one of the best decision we made! It was easy to get on next cable car to get down to Ginnelwald! It was so nice to walk around the village. Whole trip up and down was easy and pretty relax with the cable car. Definitely worth it!

It's a good experience specially for those interested in 007 otherwise it's just a nice top. Thrill walk in Birg is really a thrilling experience (although it's safe but it's not for people fearing from heights). Cable cars are very good and views on the way are stunning. You get to see small beautiful town of Murren and Stechelberg, the most beautiful and calm area of the valley.

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!

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

I would definitely recommend going to the Schilthorn!
