Schilthorn
There's a tremendous 360-degree panorama from the 2970m Schilthorn ( www.schilthorn.ch )
. On a clear day, you can see from Titlis around to Mont Blanc, and across to the German
Black Forest. Yet some visitors seem more preoccupied with practising their delivery of
the line, 'The name's Bond, James Bond', than taking in the 200 or so peaks. That's be-
cause a few scenes from On Her Majesty's Secret Service were shot here in 1968-69 - as
the fairly tacky Touristorama below the Piz Gloria revolving restaurant will remind you.
From Interlaken, take a Sfr120.80 excursion trip (Half-Fare Card and Swiss Card 50%
off, Swiss Pass 65% off) going to Lauterbrunnen, Grütschalp, Mürren, Schilthorn and re-
turning through Stechelberg to Interlaken. A return from Lauterbrunnen (via Grütschalp)
and Mürren costs Sfr94.80 as does the return journey via the Stechelberg cable car. A re-
turn from Mürren is Sfr74. Ask about discounts for early morning trips.
