After so many months without traveling, adventurous minds are looking for destinations that, if possible, have it all: nature, culture and, if possible, plenty of open space to practice sports and relax. The first option that comes to mind will probably be the most crowded … so why not think of a place that has all that and is also a little more exclusive?
That place is the Schilthorn mountain and its surroundings, in central Switzerland. On its slope is the Alpine village of Mürren, which welcomes visitors in its hotels and tourist apartments. Both in the winter and summer months, you can find a multitude of possibilities to enjoy outdoor sports (hiking, mountain biking, Via Ferrata, skiing in winter …), simply stroll discovering landscapes or even climb ride the gondola and enjoy spectacular panoramic views of the Alps from the revolving restaurant at the top.
Now, a space in which nature imposes its majesty offers, at the same time, culture and entertainment for all. The peak of the Schilthorn, also called Piz Gloria, was the setting – five decades ago now – for the James Bond film “007 in her majesty’s service.” Fans of the famous saga about the British spy, whether they are old or young, can relive their alpine adventure and take nice souvenir photos at the installed attractions.
The best way to organize your trip is to fly to Zurich or Geneva (swiss.com). From any of these airports you can take a train until it will take us to the town of Lauterbrunnen. We still have the climb, in a picturesque cogwheel train, to the charming alpine village of Mürren from where we can take the gondola that ascends the Schilthorn mountain to the top.
