360° windows on FensterFriday. On top of the Schilthorn (better known internationally as Piz Gloria from the James Bond movie "On Her Majesty's Secret Service") the revolving restaurant give you a complete panorama. In this picture you can see the Eiger in the middle, with the Mönch to its right. A bit down you can see the middle station Birg.

Currently the cablecars are being modernized and other construction is also ongoing. Not the best time to go here at the moment (photo is from a few years back).

View from the route to the Rotstockhütte looking up to the Schilthorn, internationally better known as Piz Gloria (although technically this is the name of the revolving restaurant on the summit). From the right you can see the cable car coming from Birg Station.

The name of the restaurant is in its turn taken from the Bond movie "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" (1969). Piz Gloria is the name of the mountain-top hideout of the villain Blofeld. The production team found the restaurant partly constructed and contributed financially to its completion in return for exclusive use for filming.
