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.
