The film was premiered in cinemas at the end of 1969; the mountain towering 1,300 m above the car-free holiday destination of Mürren is the Piz Gloria. Personal Bond moments on the Schilthorn: from a skilled throw of the hat in Miss Moneypenny’s office to a thrilling dash in the bob sled and flight in the Alouette III helicopter simulator. The exhibition also presents extracts from the film itself. The James Bond 007 Brunch is a popular choice at the world’s first revolving restaurant – featuring fresh alpine products, it’s available daily until 14:00 during the summer months. Schilthorn Views Magnificent all-round views in front of the main ridge of the Alps: peak-laden panorama from the Eiger face via the flanks of the Jungfrau to the Gspaltenhorn and Blüemlisalp. Engineering A single cabin makes the trip from the lower terminal at Stechelberg to Gimmelwald – a second cabin descends at the same time from Mürren to Gimmelwald. Insider’s tip The glass-and-steel platform at the Birg middle terminal hovers above the vertical terrain, offering unobstructed views of the entire mountain panorama all the way down to the abyss. Nature Typical of the area encompassing Poganggen, the Schilttal valley and the Blumental valley with the Suppenalp above Mürren is the particularly species-rich, exuberant mountain flora. www.MySwitzerland.com/bb007 Getting there, opening hours and reservations How to get there Train from Interlaken Ost to Lauterbrunnen, car/PostBus to Stechelberg.
