In Switzerland, where I am living most of the time having bad weather. Its just so lucky week if successive beautiful weather we have. In times of beautiful weather in summer time people love to go outing boding with family go up to the mountains, hiking, biking, picnic, swimming and etc just spending a time under the sun. When we have beautiful weather my husband and me, our day is incomplete when we never spending time under the sun having adventure the day. What I wish this spring, summer or autumn when we have beautiful weather I want to visit Pilatus Mountains to have adventures time. A mountain that I am longing to visit this year with my family.

The Niederhorn mount is one of the mountains that my husband and I visited. A beautiful sunny day we drove with our car from our place within 45 minutes and reached Beatenberg to Niederhorn the cable railyway of that brought us to the mount of Niederhorn 1,950 meters/6,392 feet. It was great and amazing view from their where you can see the beauty of the trio Alps the Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau, which is closer than the other mountains and explore the beauty of the Berner Oberland and Thunersee (Lake Of Thun). This is the one place top tourist destinations. We rode the cable car which you can see also the amazing view too while riding up to the mount. When we were at the top we cannot believe what we saw, it is breathtaking view from where we stood up. It was majestic and perfect day we had.

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.
