Schilthorn Piz Gloria

 

"Piz Gloria" is the name of the scenic film mountain at 1300m above the traffic-free Mürren resort. And the scenery and panoramic views in front of the main alpine ridge are pretty impressive too.

The cable car from Stechelberg to the Lauterbrunnen Valley has travelled in four sections to the summit since 1967. And here the James Bond spirit is omnipresent, with the "Bond World 007" exhibition and introduction to the film shooting experienced still today at the revolving restaurant. 

Mountain trails from the Schilthorn lead back to the Kiental valley or to Mürren. And a particularly species-rich and lush mountain flora and flower path is typically viewed in the Poganggen, Schilttal, Blumental and Allmendhubel regions.
