Savoring Swiss Flavors at Kleine Scheidegg

#eatlikealocal #100waysoftravel#switzerland After our hike, we discovered the delightful Kleine Scheidegg mountain restaurant, an inviting spot that instantly caught our attention. Situated at the foot of the majestic Eiger North Face, this charming Swiss eatery offers breathtaking views of Mönch and Jungfrau. With a chill in the air and hunger setting in, we couldn't resist trying the local fare. We ordered alpine pizza and a hearty homemade minestrone filled with pasta, fresh vegetables, and herbs, along with the must-try bacon rösti and a traditional dish of chopped beef. To quench our thirst, we opted for Swiss wine, a rare treat back in Malaysia. The highlight was the Jungfrau coffee, served in a whimsical paper cup placed inside a mug adorned with mountain scenes, which I joyfully took home as a memento. With its cozy traditional decor, Kleine Scheidegg is a must-visit for anyone looking to eat like a local in this stunning region.

🇨🇭 Revolving Restaurant on the Alps

Have you ever dined in a revolving restaurant located at the summit in the Alps? We had an unforgettable experience dining at Piz Gloria 360° Restaurant built 2970 m above the sea level at Schilthorn, one of the summits in the Bernese Alps of Switzerland. Piz Gloria got its name from a James Bond novel and is well known as the film location for the 1969 Bond movie "On Her Majesty's Secret Service". The restaurant offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, including the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau. The restaurant completes a full rotation approximately every 45 minutes, providing visitors with constantly changing views. The restaurant serves a variety of Swiss and Alpine-inspired dishes such as rösti, Swiss sausages, schnitzel and Swiss desserts such as apple strudel. Piz Gloria also offers a James Bond Brunch featuring a wide variety of breakfast and lunch options, often with a Swiss twist, such as Bircher muesli (a Swiss oatmeal-like dish) and fresh local breads. #eatlikealocal #100WaysOfTravel #europe #europetrip #Switzerland #swiss #interlaken #alps #mountainview #revolvingrestaurant #restaurant #Schilthorn #PizGloria #JamesBond #snowview #summit #tripblazers

The journey from Stechelberg to Schilthorn is a series of cable car rides that take you from the valley to the Schilthorn summit (2,970 m), known for its 360-degree panoramic views and its association with the James Bond movie On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. The scenic rides offer breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains, including the famous Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks. Route: 1.

🇨🇭 From Interlaken to Schilthorn 🗻

The Schilthorn (2,970 meters) is one of the summits in the Bernese Alps of Switzerland that can be reached without hiking up the mountain. It took us 2.5 hours to get to the Schilthorn, where the Piz Gloria revolving restaurant is located, starting from Interlaken train station and involving multiple train, bus, and cable car rides. We first took a train from Interlaken OST to Lauterbrunnen, which took approximately 20-25 minutes. From Lauterbrunnen, we boarded bus 141 to Stechelberg, the starting point for a series of four cable car rides to the summit. We purchased the cable car tickets online in advance to avoid the queues. The ticket cost CHF 42.80 per person with the Swiss Travel Pass (usual price CHF 108). The intermediate stations included Gimmelwald, Mürren, and Birg. The cable car ride offered impressive views of the Lauterbrunnen Valley and surrounding peaks. However, it was quite difficult to take good pictures as the rides were crowded, and we had to stand throughout the journey. #familytravel #100WaysOfTravel #europe #europetrip #Switzerland #swiss #cablecar #alps #Schilthorn #Interlaken #summit #train #Lauterbrunnen #Stechelberg #tripblazers

🇨🇭 007 Walk of Fame @ Schilthorn

Piz Gloria at the summit of Schilthorn got its name from a James Bond novel and is well known as the film location for the 1969 Bond movie "On Her Majesty's Secret Service". In addition to Spy World museum, a new and larger exhibition, called "007 Walk of Fame", was opened in July 2015 on the Schilthorn ridge to pay tribute to the cast and behind-the-scenes contributors to the iconic James Bond movie. The Walk of Fame consists of 15 information panels featuring George Lazenby, who played James Bond in the film, and members of the film crew. Each panel features a photo, signature, handprint in steel and a personal message. Walking on the ridge was quite a challenge especially during winter due to the strong wind and heavy snow. It's definitely worth a walk nonetheless as the ridge is an excellent vantage point for taking in the spectacular alpine scenery. #outdooradventures #100WaysOfTravel #europe #europetrip #Switzerland #swiss #interlaken #alps #mountainview #panorama #Schilthorn #PizGloria #JamesBond #snowview #walkoffame #tripblazers #viewpoint

🇨🇭 360° Viewing Platform @ Schilthorn

After a long 2.5-hour journey to the Schilthorn summit from Interlaken train station, we were greeted by spectacular alpine scenery straight out of postcards. At the summit, Piz Gloria stands 2,970 metres above sea level surrounded by more than 200 alpine peaks. Walk out of the building to Skyline View platform, which is an outdoor observation deck that provides a 360-degree view of the Swiss Alps. It's an excellent vantage point for taking in the stunning landscapes of Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. On clear days, you can even see as far as the Black Forest in Germany or the Mont Blanc massif in France! #coupletravel #100WaysOfTravel #europe #europetrip #Switzerland #swiss #interlaken #alps #mountainview #panorama #Schilthorn #PizGloria #JamesBond #snowview #summit #tripblazers #viewpoint

🇨🇭 Walking on the Schilthorn Ridge📍007 Walk of Fame, Schilthorn

I had the opportunity to walk on an alpine ridge during my visit to Schilthorn. "007 Walk of Fame" was unveiled on the Schilthorn ridge in July 2015, paying tribute to the cast and behind-the-scenes contributors to the iconic film. The Walk of Fame features 15 information panels, including those dedicated to George Lazenby, who portrayed James Bond, and various members of the film crew. Each panel includes a photo, signature, handprint in steel, and a personal message. Walking along the ridge can be challenging, especially in winter due to strong winds and heavy snow, but it is well worth the effort, as it offers an excellent vantage point for enjoying the stunning alpine scenery. #outdooradventures #100WaysOfTravel #europe #europetrip #Switzerland #swiss #interlaken #alps #mountainview #panorama #Schilthorn #PizGloria #JamesBond #snowview #walkoffame #tripblazers #viewpoint

🇨🇭 Spy World @ Schilthorn Piz Gloria

Piz Gloria got its name from a James Bond novel and is well known as the film location for the 1969 Bond movie "On Her Majesty's Secret Service". From October 1968 to May 1969, the Schilthorn was the main filming location for the movie. Located at the lower floor of Piz Gloria, Spy World houses a James Bond exhibition containing memorabilia, film clips and interactive displays related to the film. We managed to catch a glimpse of the original screenplay and even got to sit in the bobsleigh used in the film. The highlight of the museum is a helicopter simulator flight in the original chassis of the decommissioned Air Glaciers Alouette III. #museums #100WaysOfTravel #europetrip #europe #Switzerland #swiss #interlaken #alps #museum #Schilthorn #PizGloria #JamesBond #spyworld #summit #tripblazers #exhibition

Disappointed with Schilthorn

#winhkflight #schilthorn #jamesbond #switzerland Schilthorn is a summit in Europe and it is accessible by cable car. You need to pay for the ticket to travel to Schilthorn. The ticket was promoted for its highlights such as round trip ticket, spy world and cinema, walk of fame and thrill walk at station Birg. I bought my ticket at the counter in Murren and I’m expecting to enjoy all the activities as promoted. There is no notification at the counter nor inform by the staff that there are closure of some of the activities. After I reached the submit of the Schilthorn, I only get to know that the walk of fame was closed. Thereafter, I only know that the thrill walk at station Birg was closed too. Paid for the full ticket price and didn’t get to experience all the activities, is disappointed. If I know the main attractions were closed, I would not pay for the ticket. They should put up a notice if the activity is close. I want to travel to Hong Kong for their culture and food.

Picturesque mountain village, Mürren

#winhkflight #mountainvillage #Murren #switzerland Mürren is a Swiss mountain village at the foot of the Schilthorn peak and js car free village. Mürren is accessible by public transportation such as mountain railway and cable car from Lauterbrunnen or Stechelberg.

Welcome to the Valley with 72 waterfalls

LAUTERBRUNNEN Address - Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland Highlights - Lauterbrunnen is a picturesque valley town located in the Swiss Alps, known for its stunning natural beauty. With magnificent waterfalls, towering mountains and pretty flower meadows, this Swiss town looks as though it’s been lifted from the pages of a storybook. Rating - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I see trees of green ♪

Beautiful alpine village nestled in the mountains with an amazing view of the Jungfrau valley and Lauterbrunnen down below. Taking the train up to Wengen will guarantee you a lovely view of Lauterbrunnen. The village has shops, attractions and amenities within walking distance. Though, if you do decide to get a resort/hotel further up, be sure to ask for shuttle cars, the upwards slopes are no joke. Our hotel had a lovely view of the cable car rides up to Männlichen, the street below and at night- if you’re willing to stand in the 14 degrees cold (even in summer) you can get a good picture of the night sky! Of course, we couldn’t stay in Wengen without visiting Männlichen and her famous Royal Walk- a short hike of 1.7km, with elevations up to 80-120m up/down, grants you a truly breathtaking panoramic view. ((the gravel paths can be a bit slippery so be careful on the way down)) The trail from Männlichen to Kleine Scheidegg was an overall downhill walk with a view of Grindelwald down below and the snow capped mountains. But before you embark on this trail be sure to either get something to eat or drink (and the WC of course) at Männlichen as it is quite a long walk (about 4.7km). Near the midpoint you can see Eiger! A truly memorable walk with amazing scenery of the town below and mountains all around us. Truly a scenic paradise with plenty of activities to do, whether you prefer to simply enjoy the views or try out some of their more thrilling activities. It was my first time visiting Switzerland but certainly won’t be the last!#switzerland #summervacation #nature #alps

A great experience at Mt. Schilthorn

Are you a fan of 007 James Bond? Then Mt. Schilthorn is a must!! The building on Mt Schilthorn is called Piz Gloria and it is the primary filming location for the movie of James Bond! There is also a mini museum/exhibition about 007 James Bond within the Mt Schilthorn. We visited Mt Schilthron during the winter and we got to enjoy the panoramic winter view. At Mt. Schilthron, you would be able to enjoy amazing views of the alps, namely Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau. Overall, we had a great time at Mt Schilthorn. 💯

Dining at 360° Restaurant 2970m abv sea level

What better way to celebrate special occasions with your loved ones than dining at a 360-degree revolving restaurant on top of a mountain surrounded by spectacular alpine scenery straight out of postcards? We spent a memorable Christmas day on the Schilthorn summit - Piz Gloria located at 2,970 metres above sea level. Piz Gloria got its name from a James Bond novel and is well known for being the film location for the 1969 Bond movie "On Her Majesty's Secret Service". It took us 2.5 hours to reach Schilthorn from Interlaken train station after multiple train, bus and cable car rides. Do make advance reservation if you do not want to miss the James Bond brunch buffet at Schilthorn - Piz Gloria 360°-Restaurant which is quite reasonable priced at CHF 35 per adult. Despite having no advance reservation, we didn't want to miss the opportunity to dine at the 360° revolving restaurant. Thankfully the restaurant allowed walk in customers after the buffet lunch ended at 2 pm. It was really an amazing and eye-opening experience to watch the mountain scenery glide by while enjoying our food. It took 45 minutes for the restaurant to rotate 360° around its own axis. #valentinescape #Switzerland #swiss #interlaken #alps #mountainview #revolvingrestaurant #restaurant #Schilthorn #PizGloria #JamesBond #snowview #tripblazers

Jungfrau | Top of Europe !!!! 🇨🇭

How to get there: There are 2 ways to go up Jungfrau: 1) By the Cable Car (Eiger Express) or 2) By train. We went up by the eiger express (from Grindelswald, interchanging at Terminal), and we came down by train. Before we went up, we contemplated of joining a tour but given we have done a fair share of research, I ended up going by ourselves. There are several viewing sites, which ofc include Jungfrau itself, ice palace, exhibition of history of the site construction of Jungfrau, and Lindlt chocolate museum. It was negative 18 degree celsius on Jungfrau!!! So for those who cannot handle the cold, don’t visit during the winter 😂😂😂 Despite the weather condition was not ideal (no blue sky😣) but i guess it is as expected because we went during the winter ❄️) Pro tip: I would recommend purchasing the swiss pass as you get discount for the jungfrau ticket and free transport within Switzerland!! #jungfrau #jungfraujoch #urbanexplorer #境外遊 #mytripvlog

Grindelwald: A crime if you miss it!

Get here by train! We came via Basel and just enjoyed the scenic views from the huge train windows. Lake, villages, mountains, you won’t want to close your eyes! Coming here in early autumn, we escaped the crowds and could explore First, Eiger, and Jungfraujoch with ease and little wait time. The mountains are magnificent all thru the year! The colours of the landscape will change and hiking to the Balchapsee is an experience in itself. Discovering WCs in the middle of nowhere, up in the mountains, complete with toilet tissue is something only the Swiss can guarantee! There are many hotels in this little village and all are within walking distance of the train station. We stayed at the Eiger Aparthotel as we wanted to prepare our own meals to save cost. Bookings come with daily afternoon tea and the variety of cakes, teas and coffees were an absolute treat! There are many cafes around for fondue and all sorts of local delights. We opted to explore the two supermarkets for raw ingredients and cooked up our own dinners at a fraction of the cost of eating out. Do check out the different yogurt flavours, types of cheese, and cured meats too! As it is a tourist destination, you can get souvenirs and major brands here. There is a post office (to send postcards) and some banks if you need forex. My #2023travelwish is to drop by this beautiful place again in the SUMMER and take in the wonders of creation ❤️ #2023travelwish #swiss #grindelwald #discoveralps #budgettravel

Interlaken, charming village in Switzerland!

#2023travelwish My most unforgettable vacation destination was Interlaken; a charming village beneath of Jungfrau, Switzerland. Surrounded by mountains and nature beauty, sits between the emerald-coloured waters of Lake Thun and Lake Brienz, it has old timber houses and parkland on either side of the Aare River, truly a beatiful and picturesque holiday destination. Interlaken is also a hotspot for paragliding, hiking and sightseers alike, and the gateway to exploring the Jungfrau region. My 2023 dream destination would be Kyoto, Japan for stunning Autumn leaves.🍁

Upclose with Trummelbach Falls!

It was a wonderful experience heading up to Trummelbach falls in Lauterbrunnen Switzerland! first you will need to board an old school lift in the mountains and follow the trail up to the highest part of the waterfall! There are quite a few areas to take some photos. It is quite loud inside due to water crashing and echos in the cave. A fine outdoor experience to see what’s it like behind the waterfall! #trummelbach #lauterbrunnen #switzerland

A dream come true!

Today i'll tell you about trip to Switzerland. A wonderful country I've been before. To be precisely, we book a hostel in Lauterbrunnen just to go up to Jungfrau Mountain. it's name is Valley Hostel. it's nice, cozy and the landscape is all mountain. Valley hostel has 92 beds and 26 rooms in 3 chalet which we can choose suite to ourself. It's hard to find it vacant as this hostel is a prime location for those who love to go Jungfraujoch. Cause the location is neaby train station, a cafe and coop supermarket. Huh! it's great!!! In this village near Valley hostel, you may find a lot of activities beside Jungfraujoch such as visiting waterfalls, visiting Murren village, go to Mount Schilthorn, do paragliding, skydiving or shopping in here. Please scroll picture of my holiday stay-cation in Lauterbrunnen! Cheers! #spooktaculartrip#tripblazers#fallingforfall#foodie#summervacation#mytripvlog#cafe#passionpassport#celebratewithtrip#bucketlistreboot

Stabbauch Falls

#celebratewithtrip Lauterbrunnen has been nicknamed the Land of 72 Waterfalls, and for good reason. Small and large waterfalls alike are visible from Lauterbrunnen, and several waterfalls in the area are easy to reach and even more gorgeous the closer you are to them. Stabbauch Falls is the most awe-inspiring waterfall of the Lauterbrunnen Valley can be found right in the village of Lauterbrunnen itself. The Staubbach Falls comes in at a height of nearly 300 meters / 1,000 feet as it comes right off of the cliffside. There are many places to take in a view of the waterfall. Whether that be from town, the train up to Wengen, the cable car up to Grutschalp, or from further down the valley. You can also hike up a short trail to get closer up to the waterfall. Definitely highly recommend! #switzerland #lauterbrunnen

Switzerland's Beauty

Went to Switzerland last October 2022 and it was worth it! The scenery was breathtaking. You should add Switzerland into your bucket list for place to go to. #switzerland

From Murren To Grutschalp

My recent post was about the beautiful scenic village of Lauterbrunnen with that stunning jaw dropping 300m waterfall roaring down near the village. But before you hit Lauterbrunnen, you will arrive via Grutschalp which is a railway station located in the jungfrau area where most people will go towards the murren hike. Murren hike is one if the most beautiful yet underrated place in Switzerland where it also boost it popularity due to one of the James bind move where the top of the schilthorn peak is accessible via the cable car. Murren itself has many hiking trails which all hikes are worth the climb due to is breathtaking panoramic views surrounding the entire place. And in the winter months, this place becomes one of the most visited skiing areas by both locals and also tourists #fallingforfall #switzerland #oberland #hiking #scenic #breathtaking #views #mountains #europe

Breathtaking Scenic Town Of Lauterbrunnen

One town that you have to visit is the town of Lauterbrunnen simply because if you are looking for views and beauty that take your breath away, it's definitely this town! Lauterbrunnen is located in a valley where there js the Lauterbrunnen waterfall about 300m high and you can hear the loud roar of the waterfall from a distance away. For an outdoor and hiking enthusiasts 1 day in this town isn't enough due to the many activities situated all around Lauterbrunnen, simply because there is the staubbach falls hike, the murren hike and the trummelbach hike. But I definitely do recommend the Staubbach falls hike because this hike takes you to the top of the falls and the view from above is definitely scenic and will take your breath away fir sure. #fallingforfall #switzerland #hikes #views #scenic #naturelover #europe #lauterbrunnen #waterfalls #naturalwonders

The Mountain Pass Of Kleine Scheidegg

Switzerland is a place with many breathtaking scenic views of tall mountains where it can be really cold during the winter time, and roads might even be close due to the entire place being blanketed with snow. The best time to visit is around August - November where the weather is cold but not freezing cold. We did a roadtrip and went pass the Kleine Scheidegg which is also said to be one of the highest mountain passes in Bernese Oberland with views of the Swiss alps. Also, don't forget to stop by Wengen, a small village located right at the base of the popular jungfrau mountain where people would normally take the cable car up towards the jungfrau summit #fallingforfall #switzerland #swissalps #views #scenic #mountains #breathtaking

Jungfraujoch at its finest!

Interlaken and the Jungfraujoch is just too beautiful! Snow cap mountains and gorgeous lake views will just blow your mind. We were blessed with good weather. Will visit Switzerland again in the near future! Also the Swiss half fare card was a great buy! #switzerland #vacation #interlaken #jungfrau

Piz Gloria

The name Piz Gloria originated in Ian Fleming's James Bond novel On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1963), in which it is the mountain-top hideout of the villain Ernst Stavro Blofeld and contains an allergy clinic. After filming was completed, the restaurant retained the Piz Gloria name of the film location, and currently acknowledges the film's significant contribution to its commercial reputation; the lower floor houses a James Bond exhibition containing memorabilia and film clips. In July 2015, a new and larger exhibition, called "007 Walk of Fame", was opened.

Lauterbrunnen

Lauterbrunnen is a municipality in the Swiss Alps. It encompasses the village of Lauterbrunnen, set in a valley featuring rocky cliffs and the roaring, 300m-­high Staubbach Falls. Nearby, the glacial waters of Trümmelbach Falls gush through mountain crevices past viewing platforms. A cable car runs from Stechelberg village to Schilthorn mountain, for views over the Bernese Alps.

The most picturesque Swiss village

Lauterbrunnen is a municipality in the Swiss Alps. It encompasses the village of Lauterbrunnen, set in a valley featuring rocky cliffs and the roaring, 300m-­high Staubbach Falls. Nearby, the glacial waters of Trümmelbach Falls gush through mountain crevices past viewing platforms. When it comes to quintessential alpine villages in Switzerland, Lauterbrunnen really hits the mark. Dotted with chalet-style houses and surrounded by green fields and towering, snow-capped mountains, there is surely no village in Switzerland that is more picturesque. You can hike from Lauterbrunnen to the cable car station. If you are adventurous enough, take up paragliding here and the view is definitely breathtaking. It's so worth the effort of hiking up to the take-off point and experiencing this as part of your bucket list. #eurotrip

#tripaway Kleine Scheidegg is a nice/small/quaint passage point between the Lauterbrunnen and Grindelwald Valleys. Great place to stop, enjoy the view, grab a beer and keep going. The walk from Mannlichen to Kleine Scheidegg is nice and generally down hill; great views of the north face of the Eiger.I highly recommend!! #tripaway
