The experience

The day starts at the Vennes metro exit in Lausanne, where you board a panoramic glass-roof bus for the drive toward the Bernese Alps. The route passes through charming villages and lush valleys before you reach the cable car base. From there, a series of cable cars carry you up to Schilthorn's 2,970-metre summit, where the views open across over 200 mountain peaks: the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau rise among them, their snow-covered ridges and dramatic faces visible from the summit's 360° vantage point.

At the top, you step into Piz Gloria, the revolving restaurant featured in the James Bond film On Her Majesty's Secret Service. The building rotates slowly, shifting the panorama around you as you stand inside. Nearby, the James Bond Walk of Fame displays tributes to the actors and figures behind the 007 legacy. On the descent, you stop at Birg to walk the Skyline Walk, a suspended pathway that extends over the mountainside. The Thrill Walk adds glass-floor sections and tunnels for those who want the extra edge. A photo stop in Lauterbrunnen follows, where traditional chalets and the Staubbach Falls frame the village before you continue to Interlaken.

Interlaken sits between two lakes and ringed by mountains, and you have free time to walk the town, browse shops, sample Swiss chocolate or sit at a café. The return journey to Lausanne takes the scenic route back, completing the loop. Your driver-guide handles the transfers only. Once at Schilthorn and Birg, you move through the sites at your own pace. Mountain weather shifts fast and can obscure the peaks. Cable car closures due to conditions may trigger alternative activities or a partial refund, though transportation costs stay non-refundable.

Is this one for you?The day runs 11 hours with cable car rides and walking at altitude, so a moderate level of fitness helps. The pace is yours once you reach the mountain sites, and you can rest at Piz Gloria or in Interlaken as needed. Mountain weather can shift fast and may block views of the peaks, so clear visibility is not guaranteed.
