Schilthorn Piz Gloria World's First Revolving Restaurant

This is the 2nd place where my husband brought me my 1st week staying in Switzerland. It was great and amazing view from Schilthorn Piz Gloria, ranging from the Bernese Alps to Mont Blanc in France and Germany's Black Forest, specially the known apls of Switzerland the Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau (The UNESCO World Heritage) and on more than 200 other summits. This is the longest cable car to reach to the mount Schilthorn. 7000 meters of aerial cables connect the valley station of the Schilthorn Cable Car to the mountain station 2103 meters higher up. The cable-car makes the trip in four different segments, from Stechelberg in the Lauterbrunnen Valley to Gimmelwald, from there to Mürren and Birg until to the summit of Schilthorn. It was takes 32 minutes by cable car up to reach this summit of the 2970 m high Schilthorn. We had great and delicious lunch at the world's first revolving restaurant, Piz Gloria. The "On Her Majesty's Secret Service", the James Bond movie, which was filmed at the Schilthorn. While we were in restaurant, we enjoyed looking the view where we sat down and having lunch and after our lunch, we enjoyed spectacular view from their big terrace! It was great and amazing trip going up to this known mount of Schilthorn. We enjoyed the breathtaking panorama of mount Schilthorn, this is the place that I put in my records that I will never forget in my life.
