On top of the Schilthorn
To reach the Schilthorn with the wire ropeway leaves itself starting from Stechelberg, Gimmelwald and Mürren.
There is a panoramic restaurant, named Piz Gloria, at the summit, which is where the James Bond movie On Her Majesty's Secret Service was set. A famous black ski run featured in the film, known as 'The Inferno' or 'The James Bond Run', starts at the summit and leads down to Mürren.
