Schiltorn is one of the highlights of visiting Switzerland. The cable car ride alone is incredible, with nonstop panoramic views of the Alps that only get better as you go higher. Once at the top, the 360° views are jaw-dropping -- snow-capped peaks in every direction, including the famous Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau. The attractions at the summit, including the James Bond-themed elements, add a fun and unique touch without taking away from the natural beauty. Dress warmly, even in summer. There was a long line. We decided not to eat at Piz Gloria, to manage our time with sightseeing. But we were able to get in the restaurant and wander around inside to see the food they serve and the views all around without any issue. Half thrill walk was closed due to construction - disappointing. read more

Honestly, if the review isn't five stars, then you should just nix that review. This is insane, I hiked it from Murren, it took awhile but was amazing. Once I got to the top, you get once in a lifetime views for some people who are not from here. You are rewarded with buying a beer or even eating pastries. I had some, and yes it was perfect. You get to take the tram down or hike down. I hiked up and tram down. The service is amazing, I bought a coffee cup up here and a post card. It is about the experience, and honestly one of my top 5 vacation moments ever. Don't trust the other reviews. read more

Schilthorn - Top with a view - Swiss Food Near Me

We went all the way up and ate at the Piz Gloria restaurant. It slowly rotates so that you can enjoy the 360 view while you dine. Server was alright- not the best but not the worst. The food was average; we got a cup of the soup of the day (soup buffet), 007 Burger with French Fries, Spaghetti, and a drink, Ovomaltine, which is hot chocolate with whipped cream. The soup and hot chocolate were my favorite, and the burger/spaghetti was average. The place had James Bond music, posters, theme...etc and overall it was a fun experience! The view was enjoyable during our time, but there were quite some construction going on. I'm not sure if construction is there everyday or we just went at a bad time. We also saw a few dogs outside on the platform and in the cable cars! read more

The views, the views, the views....and the food and service were excellent. We all had something different and enjoyed each dish. Curried chicken breast with rice, sausage wheel with rösti and gravy, a meat and cheese board, and the soup and salad bar. If you are used to a soup and salad bar where you can go back for more, this is not that place. So enjoy your first round or pay for another! Request a window seat when you reserve a table, you won't regret it! read more

We have our Bond girl outfits ready and a 007 taking two girls there. Will post more. Getting ready to leave for our lift up there to look at the views, enjoy a nice lunch, your the Bond museum and become Agent 007 and Bond girls. read more

If you want your frozen burger with side of construction... Wildly expensive, crowded cable cars, half thrill walk was closed, INSANE construction, bad food and service, smelly bathrooms, etc etc. Views are beautiful from the second viewing platform. If you're their for views and don't want to spend for Jungfrau may be worth that. Wasn't expecting much for the restaurant but it was a huge disappointment. Gross dirty windows, worse then diner-food esp the signature burger, incredible undrinkable martini - all triple sec / juice?? (why isn't a martini on the menu it's literally James Bond) bad service, and construction SO distracting - jackhammering, messy outside, view obscuring. Should let you know when there's that much work being done on an $80+ attraction. Save your money and visit another mountain. read more

"Bond, James Bond" - James Bond, 1969 Despite the very worst of the James Bond movies being filmed here, the Schilthorn is a beautiful and glorious place to be. You're 9000 feet above the Earth with unreal panoramic views of the Swiss Alps...hopefully its not a cloudy day! Or if it is, wait it out a bit. There was a nasty storm when we first got there, and there was zero visibility. But after enjoying a light lunch of beer($6) and some decent luke warm goulash($11) at the ahead-of-its time revolving restaurant(world's tallest?), the nasty storm cleared up, and the Swiss Heavens opened up before our eyes...beautiful! There's a cheesy James Bond exhibit, which as a James Bond, I found very amusing. Its expensive to get up here! Total cost to get up here from the base town of Lauterbrunnen is $127 roundtrip! But part of the fun is slowly ascending the Swiss Alps via the trains and aerial cable cars. We also had the Swiss Travel Travis, 3 Days for $232, which covers the entire trip, plus our round trip train from Luzern which would've been an extra $138...buy the Swiss Travel Pass, worth it! read more

It was an amazing experience being here!! The place going up was beautiful and quite scenic. The quaint little town at the bottom was straight out of a fairytale! It was April when I went up here and totally wasn't ready for the show! It was sooo cold! I was extremely happy, it was quite a surprise for me! Went into Piz Gloria and made the mistake of leaving my bag on the ground... I saw it moving, then I realize we were moving! It was such an experience seeing the beautiful views side to side! We didn't order anything, as we were coming from Grindelwald and just ate. Though, the coffee was quite pricy but I understand; it was all of the hype and theme of James Bond. We explored inside Piz Gloria and clips from the movie was shown inside. It was all James Bond themed! Got to see parts of the movie where the Piz Gloria blew up and etc. It was such a tourist attraction! What a day! Enjoyed it! Bond Out! read more

An interesting, although quite touristy experience. Perhaps most famous for being featured in a James Bond (1969 "On her Majesty's secret service"), it is nonetheless a nice observation plateform and a decent restaurant in the high Alps, accessible only by a cableway (or a helicopter, if you are a VIP, a villan or a valliant secret service agent). Most of thematic here (especially the toilets) are themed around James Bond, so that can be a bit overwhelming if that's not your jam. But in addition to it this place has a very decent restaurant with a rotating platform, some great views, and an access to a skiing resort through a black piste. We visited it with my wife's mom when she was visiting US in Switzerland and have all enjoyed it quite a lot - from the long approach on the cable cars, to the restaurant and views themselves. The restaurant has a number of platters with cheese and meat (Zveri), as well as a more in-depth wine and meal card, that are totally worth an exploration. Overall, it's a nice spot overall and a great James Bond-specific tourism destination. read more

My experience here was too surreal. Jaw dropping every corner I turn. I truly didn't wanna leave... ate at Piz Gloria for the 360 view and it was amazing. James Bond being filmed here was just an extra fun perk. So many great things I can say about this place! I suggest going all the way to the top first and work your way down each tram to avoid peak crowdy hours. The sky walk and thrill walk in Birg/Mürren is soooo fun. A lot of great views you can't miss. read more

Your typical tourist destination, Schilthorn offers stunning views with overpriced food. At the restaurant, my group and I ordered a meat and cheese platter while overlooking the Swiss Alps view. While the food was prepared well, we could've gotten the same thing for well less than half the price at a local grocery store. Aside from the steep price of the food and the short attention span of our waiter (who we had to flag down multiple times for water and other requests), the experience was one of a kind. Your table rotates while overlooking the Swiss Alps, which is an experience that you can only have here. Beyond the restaurant, there is a Thrill Walk one gondola ride down that offers an unparalleled raw experience on the side of the mountain. There also is a Bond Museum and Exhibit, which offers a comprehensive experience of Bond film and book history. read more

Really fun place to go! Greatly enjoyed our time here. My suggestion is go for the buffet! I get the attraction and it's nice but the burgers weren't nearly as good as they look. I had two soups of the buffet and they were much better! read more

Schilthorn - Swiss Food Near Me

I visited Schilthorn/Piz Gloria with my Jungfrau ski pass. Since I stayed in Grindelwald its quite a long but beautiful journey to Schilthorn. The Journey to Schilthorn: First the gondolas to Männlichen, then the large gondola down to Wengen, then the train to Lauterbrunnen (which offers a scenic view), then the gondola to Grütschalp, then the train to Mürren where you had a 10min walk through the cosy small and classic old fashioned swiss village to the gondola to Birg. On Birg you already have an amazing scenic view, don't miss out the cliff walk. You could also drink a coffee on the outside terrace. The gondola to Schilthorn is in the same station and only takes 5min to get up to the mountain. I arrived at about 11:30 there (I started about 9:00) The transport is well organized and coordinated, like when you get off the gondola at Grütschalp the train is already waiting for you. There were no waiting lines to get up Schilthorn: On Schilthorn you can have lunch at the revolving restaurant floor which makes a tour in 90min. Or have a drink at the bar. The prices are a bit high but I of course had to drink a Vodka Martini when being at such a place. They even have a small James Bond museum about the movie "On her majesty's secret service (1969)" that was filmed there. Schilthorn was Blofeld's secret hidout. Every scene that was filmed on Schilthorn is explained in detail you can interact with some stuff and get insights from behind the scenes. There is also a souvenir shop with some cool stuff. Also go outside and take a walk on the terrace or to the lookaround point. In my opinion a much more beautiful view then from Jungfraujoch. At the end when you want to leave you can either take the gondola or if you got skis take the famous black run down (where in the movie James escapes and gets chased by the bad guys) Overall an amazing experience, I totally recommend it. Its very clean and well made. Despite the long way if you come from Grindelwald there is much to see on the way, its better to plan it for a whole day experience and check the weather. The scenic views are stunning. I didn't try the food at the restaurant, so couldn't say anything read more

Way up in the clouds in the Swiss Alps Shilthorn is situated as an observation area for the surrounding Swiss alps. The site is 10,000 feet up or if you prefer 3765 meters high. Often the mountains are engulfed in clouds hidden from view. If you wait long enough some of the clouds drift away exposing nature at its most spectacular and magnificent. On occasion the clouds burn off exposing all the mountains glory. The site was used for a James Bond movie and contains a museum of sorts dedicated to Agent 007. There are pictures, movie clips and a few static exhibits to enjoy. There is also a restaurant serving breakfast and lunch items at, as you might have guessed, sky high prices. Also included is a souvenir shop with many things to choose from. Bring sunglasses. read more

Not as cool as I expected. Just a simple restaurant with a bar, buffet, and James Bond 007 imprinted on menu items. The place is unique in that it was where the James Bond (1969 - On Her Majesty's Secret Service) movie was filmed. Menu items (20-50 CHF) are surprisingly more expensive than a brunch buffet per person (33 CHF). Brunch buffet is daily until 14:00. Not a whole lot of variety but enough to choose from and fill you. Nonetheless, very clean and spacious with 360 rotations and incredible views of Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau. read more

The cable car might be expensive but the views are worth it!! The Schilthorn restaurant was the first revolving restaurant built in the world and was used in the James Bond film On Her Majesty's Secret Service which is why there is a bond museum a few falls below. The film company actually helped finance finishing the restaurant and cable cars which give us the best views of the region today! From outside the restaurant, you can see the Eiger, Jungfrau and Monch mountains. It's spectacular! The cloud can clear or come quite quickly so prepare to be cold and bring layers and waterproof clothing. If you are a keen hiker there are routes down as long as you have good shoes on - there are signs saying no high heels!! We went into the restaurant for a drink - hot chocolate - but their menu was pretty good so we decided to have lunch here too. The wine I had wasn't the best but drinkable - I have added photos of the menus. We had the trio of game with red cabbage and homemade spatzli and it was as good as I hoped. It's a bit pricier than Lauterbrunnen town but this is Switzerland and a themed, first revolving restaurant so I did not mind paying 8 euros more for the view. There is also a buffet option. It's a good place to warm up before the hike or cable car ride back down. Menus available in at least German, English, Chinese and probably Japanese as well. read more

After factoring in the cost of getting to the top of the mountain, along with the cost of the meal, this is probably the most expensive breakfast we have ever eaten. And it was worth every penny. How many times in your life do you get to start your morning with three gondola rides and a train ride high up into the Swiss Alps to lounge in the former lair of a James Bond villain while it slowly rotates to give you 360-views of some of the most beautiful mountains in the world? It's really quite an experience. Also, the food in the breakfast buffet is surprisingly good! My favorite part was the plain yogurt topped with lots of black cherry compote...SO GOOD! The breakfast buffet is AYCE and includes drinks and champagne, but what you are really paying for are those amazing views. And they are, totally, amazing. After filling up on a big healthy breakfast, I recommend you get back down the mountain on your own. The trail starts at the Schilthorn, but it is pretty tricky going for the first bit off the ridge, so if you are traveling with kids (like us), I recommend taking the gondola back down one station to Birg, and you can start your hike from there. Early morning gondola fares are a bit cheaper, and there is a special package deal for morning transportation to the Schilthorn including the breakfast buffet. Kids under six are totally free, both on the gondolas and for breakfast. Even with these cost-saving measures, though, you're going to spend a lot of money...just close your eyes, hand over your credit card, and know that it is worth it. Of our entire trip through Europe, "Eating at the spinning restaurant on top of the mountain" was our daughter's favorite experience. read more

wow.. very very bad! unfriendly staff, unclean and the food is nasty too! ans thats sure not because of corona.. i can really really recomend Hotel Bellevue Mürren- just if you look for something great in this area ;-) read more

Obviously the views and experience are what you are paying for here, rather than the best food. Still, since I knew it was a tourist trap, and I'd only been in Switzerland a day and a half at this point, I didn't know what to expect. Everyone enjoyed their meals, but the portions were small, and I can now say after spending a week in Switzerland and Italy, this was one of the least memorable meals I had, based on the food itself. Our service was good, though, and we got seated quickly in the rotating section, and everyone had a great time. Was glad to eat here because we were hungry after a morning of traveling all the way up here. And for the whole experience, it was worth it. If this restaurant had been anywhere else though, I would have given it fewer stars. read more

The Bond burger isn't bad, the self serve buffet is probably a better option for the price, but the novelty of the burger is cool. The rotating setting with accompanying views itself makes up entirely for any flaws in the food. The location simply can't be beat. The bond museum and artifacts throughout the building make this a special setting, even if you aren't a fan of the James Bond series. read more

Come up to the mountaintop but skip eating here. 1) Overpriced, mediocre food and 2) Bad service (seemed like they didn't even want to serve the customers, got my order wrong, seem confused about their own menu). If you want to sit in the revolving restaurant, just order yourself a drink and sit around. There's an area for you to sit if you want to bring your own food, which I suggest doing. (Note: bring your own water up here - at the restaurant it'll cost you 2SF.) read more

We were debating whether or not to go here as we felt we already went to the top of Mount Pilatus and to Jungfraujoch, and it can get quite expensive. This one appeared quite touristy to me for some reason and we almost decided not to go. Seeing that this was another beautiful day with clear skies we decided to just go, and we are SO happy we did!!! It was one of our favorite experiences. We took a train from grindelwald to Lauterbrunnen, and a quick bus ride to where the cable cars took us to the top. The views were unbelievable and the way they incorporated James Bond was cool and not cheesy at all. We ate at the rotating restaurant for lunch which was delicious and fair prices. I would highly recommend going here if you have the time! read more

I didn't realize there was a yelp page for this, so I totally spaced leaving a review. This place was something I've wanted to do for a long time. As others have mentioned, it's a tad cliche' with all the James Bond stuff, but I just loved it. As a Bondian, it was right up my alley. Sadly, the ride up was closed in the morning for some odd reason, and we missed the brunch buffet. I was really bummed out about that, but that's not to say it was their fault. I highly enjoyed seeing the Bond Museum, and I did get to enjoy a couple of martinis in the rotating restaurant. Overall, I was really impressed with the service, and the experience is second to none. Prices are expensive, but what do you expect when you're on top of a mountain in the Alps? I got a really cool, albeit expensive, hooded sweatshirt in their giftshop, and they had some discounted t-shirts for only like $18. When I'm back in Murren, I'm coming back up here. I want that brunch buffet! I love Brunch buffets like Whitney loves her crack. read more

Go broke or die trying...At least that's what I thought when I set foot in Switzerland. It's got beautiful mountain peaks, easy on the eyes, easily accessible, and not so easy on the wallet. Getting up to this rotating restaurant with a view will sink you down 80 Euros or so. This restaurant rotates so often but not with a 360 degree view. One of the 007 Movie was filmed here and one I haven't actually seen and with a relatively unknown actor. James Bond = Sean Connery...Period. The food wasn't bad but considering the price of the gondola ride to get up here, it should have been better...you know, at least dupe me into thinking it's gourmet. But for what it's worth, It's damn gorgeous view up here and I didn't have to schlep 24 Kilos of backpacking gear like I have to back home in the Eastern Sierras :) read more

This food is horrendous. Thankfully it did not make us sick! The hamburger and chicken burger were quite questionable, the fries that come with the meals are this super fake yellow color. The salad bar was decent. So if you order here, be careful cause its kind of pricy for horrible food. Also the tap water was $5 a cup. The views are great! The restaurant just is not. read more

The costs of getting up there might make few people think twice but once you get to the top and see the panoramic views, you will realize it was all worth the $$$. I highly suggest going up in AM and having breakfast there. Wait for the skies to clear up a bit so you photographers can go nuts! It is a 30+ minute Gondola Ride all the way up to top and you have to change few times. Once you have had a fill on the top, take the trail back down instead of Gondola. Its about 2-3 hours walk. If that seems too much then, come down to Murren and walk down from there. The souvenir shops at the top are expensive. Dress up warm since you will be coming across some chilly winds on the top. I left my hat back at the hotel and had to cough up 40 Euros. Personally, this was a better experience than Jungfrau because you can actually see thru the clear skies and its a 360 view as opposed to one direction up at Jungfrau. read more

Schilthorn/Piz Gloria was one of our final destinations on our trip to Switzerland and it was awesome! We traveled from the little town of Grindelwald and it took us a little more than two hours between trains, buses, and gondolas to finally make it to the top of this mountain. Tip: if you're going to be doing a lot of traveling, consider purchasing the Sport Pass. It's a little pricey, but overall it's worth it because you can use pretty much all the transportation available for x number of days for a flat cost. Seriously, we saved so much money and got to travel everywhere we wanted to go. Once we made it to the top, we took in the views of everything around us. On a clear day you can see for miles and miles. It is gorgeous and an absolute must if you're traveling to the area. We had lunch reservations at the rotating restaurant, but half of our group was over an hour late since they were trying to ski their way over from where we were staying (it took them almost 3.5 hours to get to Schilthorn). The restaurant was not happy which I completely understand. You're on the top of a mountain with only one restaurant, so be prepared to spend some money. Since we were in Bond-land, of course I had to try a James Bond Martini. (I still don't like martinis, by the way.) For lunch I got the Alpine pasta while my boyfriend got the cordon bleu. The pasta was dry and salty - I had total lunch envy with the cordon bleu, which was delicious. Service was spotty, but I can understand since the servers were running all over the place in a restaurant that's probably packed with people from open to close daily. If you're in the area, you pretty much have to go to Schilthorn/Piz Gloria. It's a pricey adventure, but totally worth it! read more

The food here is absolutely terrible. Had a veggie burger also the salmon fillet. Service was fair, view is spectacular.

One of the best places I can think of to have breakfast! It's expensive to get to in the cable car, and the cloud can quickly close in on the place but, when the sky is clear, the views from the revolving restaurant are superb. Once you're up there, there isn't a huge amount to do; A viewing platform, the restaurant and, if you're up to it, a very enjoyable walk back down. The breakfast trip offers a decent saving over other times of the day. read more

Well worth the trip and money spent! My wife and I went to Mount Pilatus so we weren't sure if going here was needed. Also we weren't able to go to Jungfraujoch since it was closed at the time (We had no idea that it closed at any point), so we ended up here. This is a completely different experience from Pilatus. Both locations have their own individual charm and uniqueness about them. I would say try both and decide for yourself. Either way, you won't be disappointed. The multiple views and pictures we were able to capture were absolutely breathtaking! Also the 007 inspired rooms were a very nice touch. Overall, I have zero complaints about my experience! read more

The drawcard of any revolving restaurant is the view and not the food, and this place is no exception. The views are amazing and worth sitting in the restaurant for a couple of hours, and the food is an excuse not to get kicked out. The food we had was overpriced and nothing special but you kinda expect that. The Schilthorn is a huge tourist trap so there can be a crush for space as other tour groups join you. read more

Definitely check the live monitors before heading out and keep in mind, the weather changes so frequently. The gentleman at kiosk selling tickets at valley base in Lauterbrunnen was very kind and gave us a very useful weather tip. Locals seem to know when is a good time to visit the peak. There are three lift stops from Lauterbrunnen. Lift #3 (chill) the first on your ascend to the top. Lift #2 (Birg) has a skyline walk and trill walk. Lift # 1 (view) is where you can see the Bond museum and you have great views of the peaks in a clear day. There is a nice restaurant there and a snack bar. Coffee isn't great but keeps you warm! I recommend taking your own sandwich and water with you. Dress in layers since it's pretty cold up there. On your way down, you can get off lift #3 and explore amazing hiking trails. One of our favorites was going from Mürren to Gimmelwald. check to see if trails are open before heading out. In May, there was still snow and we couldn't check out the flower trail. read more

Schilthorn - Village of Mürren - Swiss Food Near Me

Food: N/A Ambiance: 5/5 Service: 3/5 [Wow, this place has a yelp page!?] We went here for breakfast, only because it was included with out stay at hotel Alpenruh in Murren. Considering that, it was totally worth it! For obvious reasons, you won't go here for fine dining or attentive service, you go to take in the amazing views. Since we were staying in Alpenruh (which is owned by the same company), we had already made reservations and knew about the weather. We were there at 8:30 [well, staying 2 stops away at Murren helped]. This meant we had the restaurant and the viewing decks almost all to ourselves. The only other people were the other tourists from Murren, and it started to fill up as we were wrapping up. The whole breakfast experience was very relaxing and chill, views were breathtaking and our toddler son could run around and have fun as we were pretty much the first people there. Food is a large and plentiful buffet, so no reviews needed (If you love milk it's 5 stars, if you prefer sashimi it's 0 as they don't have it!?). We were seated promptly, and our table was cleaned immediately (somebody snagged my plate the moment I looked away!). So I guess that's decent service? lol. My suggestions: Def. check the weather. Get there early. Lower expectations of service and food, enjoy bottomless champagne, relax and take in the views. read more
