Schilthorn Gondola Cable Car

We ate at the Piz Gloria Restaurant for lunch today. We both ordered the hamburger. It was one of the most expensive burgers we have ever gotten, but we understand you are paying for the view. What we didn’t expect was the burgers to be the worst we have ever tasted, & we questioned if it was even beef. We did tell our waiter we were not happy with the burgers. Nothing was done. We would not recommend this tourist trap for eating.

I came to the Jungfrau area to snowboard and the ski pass covered entry to all the transportation in Murren. This included the gondola from Lauterbrunnen to Grutschlap and the subsequent train to Murren. It also gave access to the Schilthorn Bahn 20XX from Murren to get to Schilthorn. Piz Gloria is located at the top of Schilthorn and houses a building that was used for the James Bond film Her Majesty's Secret Service. There are a few James Bond themed items here, including the Spy World and some information boards on the Skyline View Platform. There is also a walk of fame but that was closed when I was there in the winter. There is also a revolving restaurant here but I didn't go in. The best thing about this area is the views. It gives a panoramic view of the Swiss Alps in the area including Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau. The Skyline View Platform has multiple picture boards showing the different mountains around the area. It was definitely an amazing experience taking in the impressive alpine scenery. The best part was the ability to ride back down to Birg, but the pistes here were quite advanced so not for beginners.

Some staff are extremely arrogant‼️Visited Sunday, May 3rd (4:30 PM). For 125 CHF, the service was pathetic. They ignored simple questions and didn't even return a greeting. Total lack of professionalism. Ruined my Interlaken trip. Unacceptable! 👎🏼

Construction was happening on the schilthorn at the time of travel, which took up a lot of space and wasn’t well advertised… on top of that, things like the James Bond exhibit were extremely old and in need of renovations. If you’re not interested in skiing, then once you’ve taken in the view (which is BEAUTIFUL) the schilthorn itself doesn’t really have too much to offer guests.

We were very excited about our trip but sadly it didn't go as planned. 1. The QR codes from the online tickets don't work at the turnstiles. It was very, very busy with lots of skiers and we were pushed out of the way and it took about half an hour to get through. The same thing happened on the way down. 2. They are doing renovations so I don't think we could actually go to the top. It stopped at a ski slope and crowded restaurant with one little platform and most of the thrill walk closed. As tourists after taking some photos there was nothing else to do but go down again. Positives are that Mürren is a beautiful village, the views are stunning but we wouldn't have gone if we knew it was mostly closed.

We decided to go early, on a beautiful Septembe morning, to the Shilthorn. I expected more people, but the cable car we road up on had exactly 8 people on the first car up, which was actually wonderfull. However, when we arrived at the top some of the attractions were closed, such as the Thrill Walk. On our way down we stopped and were able to checked out the Thrill Walk. It isn't really that thrilling, but the views are excellent. I thought the 007 venue at the top was dated and no longer relevant, personally. We stopped in at the revolving restaurant at the top to have hot chocolate, as it was chilly and enjoyed the views. Overall, it was a good experience, but not all that memorable.

Nearly everytime we have guests from Brazil we go to the Schilthorn and enjoy the "James Bond" Brunch. Everybody always loves it! Not only is food quality really good but also friendly staff and stunning views.
