The cable car takes you from Stechelberg to the summit of the Schilthorn, at 2970 m above sea level, in 30 minutes. Once at the top, you can enjoy a spectacular view of the UNESCO World Heritage Jungfrau-Aletsch with the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau as well as 200 other mountain peaks from the Skyline View Platform. On a clear day, you can even see the Mont Blanc range and the Black Forest. There are three lounges on the Schilthorn ridge from which you can enjoy the view in peace and quiet.
Enjoy a satisfying brunch, a delicious lunch or a snack in the slowly revolving 360° Piz Gloria restaurant. An unforgettable experience – admire the 360° panorama during your meal as the restaurant turns completely on its axis every 45 minutes. Delicious regional dishes taste even better with such a wonderful view. Looking for something quick to satisfy your hunger? The Skyline Take Away offers hot and cold dishes as well as snacks. You can also hire this space for an event for up to 150 people.
It’s well worth making a stop at Birg station at 2677 m above sea level. Go on the Skyline Walk or the Thrill Walk at around 1000 m above the village of Mürren. Enjoy the panorama on the Skyline Walk and stand on a glass platform and look down. For the brave, the Thrill Walk offers a unique experience. Just below the sun terrace is a 200-m-long rock trail that runs along the vertical walls of the imposing rock massif. Why not enjoy a meal in the Bistro Birg and enjoy the wonderful view from its large sun terrace? In winter, Birg is the centre of the skiing region and in summer, it’s an ideal starting point for your hike in the fascinating world of the mountains.
