Highlights
  • Zurich - Meet your tourguide and board the intercity train from Zürich , which takes you through Bern and along the lake Thun to Interlaken

  • Interlaken - You board the local train to Lauterbrunnen. It will take you within 25 minutes into the Lauterbrunnen valley.

  • Lauterbrunnen - Arrive at the village of Lauterbrunnen closed to the end of the valley, with a view of the surrounding mountains. Here you change onto the local bus, which drives in 10 minutes to Stechelberg.

  • Stechelberg - The village is connected by the Luftseilbahn Stechelberg-Mürren-Schilthorn (LSMS), an aerial tramway constructed in 1965, to other amenities and locations in the area.

  • Thrill Walk Felsensteg Birg - After two rides on the aerial cableway, you make a stop at the “Birg” station. A panoramic terrace allows you to enjoy the stunning panoramo to the surrounding mountains. If you prefer a bit more thrill: The steel structure clings to the rock before swerving under the observation deck and cableway to end below the cable car station. Features including a crawl-through tunnel, glass-bottomed floor, rope and cattle grid lend an additional frisson of thrill to this spine-tingling adventure.

  • Schilthorn Piz Gloria - Arrive at “Piz Gloria”, the location featured in the 1969 James Bond movie On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. The summit has a panoramic view which spans from the Titlis, Jungfrau, Mönch, Eiger, over the Bernese Alps and the Jura mountains up to the Vosges Mountains and the Black Forest. Mont Blanc is also just visible. The revolving restaurant, the terrace and the special exhibition about the James Bond movie are the sight that you will visit during your stay.

  • Murren - Mürren is a traditional Walser mountain village in the Bernese Highlands of Switzerland, at an elevation of 1,638 meters above sea level and it cannot be reached by public road. With a walk through the village you will cross Mürren within 20 minutes. Enjoy the typical wooden chalets and the panoramic views to the surrounding mountains, before you board the local railway in direction Lauterbrunnen.
    Several restaurants and bars invite you to relax, to enjoy the view, or discover old wooden chalets and green meadows.
    Your tour guide is available to you for information or hints about Mürren and places to go.

Schilthorn Journey - Our guide was amazing. He was at our hotel on time and escorted us to the train station. It took four trains and four aerial trams to get to the Schilthorn. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate so no views from our destination. The waterfalls were amazing in the valley. The journey was better than the destination.

007 for the Win! - End-to-end great experience! As a bond fan, this place had it all. We departed from Zurich and our guid was amazing! He gave lots of insight about Switzerland and all the surrounding cities we visited (shout out to Roman!). I’d highly recommend checking this out if you have a full day to dedicate.

With His Majesty’s Service - Beautiful scenery and fun time at Schilthorn Piz Gloria. Although the weather didn’t cooperate all the time, our guide, Roman, made it a memorable experience.

On her Majesty's Secret Service - As a bond fan and a fan of beautiful scenery this trip was one I couldn't miss. Boy, it didn't dissapoint. Loved visiting one of the most stunning bond locations and blown away by the beauty of the Alps. Thrill walk at Birg was really cool. Our tour guide Rolf (probably not the right spelling) was very knowledge and also patient with my Scottish accent. A long day but well worth it.

An unique experience to experience. - The trip up to Bond Land was experience. The tribute to the 2nd Bond is excellent. Check the weather before you head up. We hit fog and you can’t see anything from the top. One more thing, the restaurant.. don’t order the $25.00 007 Burger! Take your shoe off, add some catsup and dig in. It will taste better than the dried out piece of crap they serve.

Day trip was smooth as glass - Eric was extremely knowledgeable and informative. Very interesting to talk to during an all day trip. The day flew by and the travel, including switching trains, a bus and cable cars, was smooth and efficient. Could not have dreamed of a better way to see Switzerland and the Schitlhorn.

Wow! Well Worth It! - This was an outstanding experience with a very competent guide. Eric successfully navigated us through four trams, five trains, two buses, and six cable cars to get us from Zurich to the top of Schilthorn and back to our hotel -- all the space of twelve fun-filled and exciting hours. The scenery was breathtaking throughout almost all of the journey. We'd travel with him again in a heartbeat!

Great guide-rest terrible - The guide was wonderful However the rest of the trip was not as advertised. We were told it was a private tour to Schiltorn but we were actually on public transportation which we would not have booked since I am immunosuppressed. Also we are both over 65 and the constant climbing was very hard In addition no one confirmed our trip the day before. I called Viator 15 minutes before we were to be picked up. The girl who answered put me on hold and came back and said the guide would be there in 7 minutes. However the guide never spoke to her. Also as tourists we did not realize that the schiltorn could get completely fogged in. We couldn’t see a thing. Your representative should have cancelled this trip since it was clear that bad weather was coming
