Why Schilthorn matters
Reached by a series of cable cars from Lauterbrunnen, the Schilthorn offers a huge view of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau, plus a revolving restaurant at the summit. The peak also featured in a famous 1969 spy film. It's a very efficient way to get high-altitude views.
Talking points
- A revolving restaurant sits at the top.
- It appeared in an old spy film.
