What To Do In Schilthorn? | Detailed Guide to Unique Experiences at Schilthorn

Hike to Schilthorn from Mürren, which covers a distance of 13 kilometres, with an elevation gain of 1700 metres. The hike up to Schilthorn might be difficult and tiring but the breathtaking vistas as you trek along the way make it all worth it.

Tip: Start early to enjoy a leisurely pace on your trek.

If you don’t want to hike all the way up, you can take the funicular there instead. A cable car ascends to the summit of the Schilthorn from Stechelberg in the Lauterbrunnen valley every 30 minutes in four stages. You may expect scenic views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau once you reach the summit.

Hours: Daily, 7:55 AM to 3:55 PM

Tip: The operating hours change every April and November.

From the Skyline View platform at the summit, you can enjoy the panoramic landscape of the   Jungfrau-Aletsch, a part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, together with the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau, as well as 200 other high peaks. Even the Mont Blanc mountain range and the Black Forest are visible on a clear day. Three lounges are available for you to unwind while taking in the scenery.

Tip: Remember to check the weather forecast before you go to enjoy the best views.

Visit the immersive Bond World display to find out more about the making of the movie On Her Majesty's Secret Service. The Bond Cinema offers a large-screen showing of the important Schilthorn sequences featuring George Lazenby as Agent 007, or you may visit the 007 Walk of Fame, where the cast members of the renowned movie left handprints inscribed with their names.

Tip: Be mindful of the time while exploring Bond World to catch the cable car for your trip down the Schilthorn.

The entrance to the Thrill Walk, which descends into the perpendicular walls of the intimidating rock massif, is located just across from the Skyline Walk. The steel building clings to the mountain before turning and ending below the cable car station, passing underneath the observation deck and cableway. A crawl-through tunnel, glass-bottomed platform, rope, and cattle grid enhance this adrenaline-filled journey.

Tip: Wear comfortable and sturdy slip-proof shoes in order to ensure you enjoy the scenery rather than worrying about slipping.

Enjoy the Snowpark, snowboard or ski down the toughest slope. Everything is possible at the Schilthorn in the winter, from sledge safaris to winter treks. Winter sports fans go to Mürren and the Schilthorn, which have 53 kilometres of slopes, toboggan runs, and various winter hiking trails. If you are a novice, visit the Mürren-Schilthorn Ski School which offers ski and snowboard lessons.

Tips: Wear appropriate clothing and apply plenty of sunscreen lotion to shield yourself from the elements.

The store has a wide assortment of essential Schilthorn apparel and fan paraphernalia. Sunglasses, hats, and additional useful keepsakes round out the selection. You may also buy typical Swiss goods from a variety of brands here.

Tip: Buy Schilthorn souvenirs from the shop or order gift vouchers online which include ski passes, hotel vouchers, and the like.

Birg serves as the region's hub for skiing in the winter and is an excellent place to start a hike during summer. You can go to Birg either before or after visiting Piz Gloria. While there, take in the view from the Skyline Walk while standing on a glass platform and go for the more adventurous Thrill Walk. Have a meal at the Bistro Birg and take in the spectacular vista from its spacious sun patio.

Tip: Begin your trip early to experience both Skyline Walk and Thrill Walk with plenty of time to spare.

Take a moment to enjoy nature on the Allmendhubel, the closest mountain to Mürren, just four minutes away by funicular railway, making it a great excursion spot for families and nature enthusiasts. Enjoy a meal while soaking up the view of the iconic Three Peaks (Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau) at the quaint Panorama Restaurant Allmendhubel. Let your kids run free at the fantastical adventure playground at Flower Park.
