Piz Gloria
The Schilthorn (2,970 metres (9,744 ft)) is a summit in Europe in valley of Lauterbrunnen  in the Bernese Oberland, and is the highest mountain in the range lying north of the Sefinenfurgge Pass. The Schilthorn lies above the village of Murren from where a cable car  leads to its summit.

The summit has a panoramic view which spans from the Titlis Jungfrau, Monch , Eiger over the Bernese Alps and the Jura mountains up to Vosges mountains  and the Black Forest .Mont Blanc  is also just visible.

The restaurant revolves a full 360 degrees in 45 minutes, slightly faster than the minute hand of a clock. Many Bond movies were captured here .
To get to the Schilthorn from the valley floor, a series of canle cars  must be taken. The cable cars begin in  Stechelberg leaving to Gimmelwald  and then onto Mürren. From Mürren another cable car is taken to Birg which is the final change before the Schilthorn. This cable airway is the longest and was the most technically challenging airway to be built. The other way up is to take the cable car from Lauterbrunnen to Grütschalp and a train to Mürren, from where the cable car must be taken. Between Birg and the summit, the cable car passes over Grauseeli, a small lake.

It is also possible to hike to the peak, along the myriad of small, but well-marked paths to the top. The hike to the top takes roughly five hours from Gimmelwald for a fit walker.
