Itinerary
Enjoy a scenic drive from Zurich to Interlaken with our experienced driver-guide, who will ensure a smooth and informative journey through Switzerland's stunning landscapes. Enjoy a surprise photo stop. The journey will take up to 2 hours
Enjoy the cable ride at an altitude of 2970 m, enjoy the spectacular view, over 200 peaks. The ride is about 45 minutes one way, you will take different cable cars to reach the different levels. Let your gaze wander over spellbinding wraparound views of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau, flanked by an array of peaks in the Bernese and Valais Alps. To one side, the shimmering blue waters of Lake Thun, the pretty Swiss central plateau and the mountains of the Jura chain stretch out towards the horizon. At the opposite of the Skyline Walk is the entrance to the Thrill Walk, which leads down into the perpendicular walls of the imposing rock massif. The steel structure clings to the rock before swerving under the observation deck and cableway to end below the cable car station. Features including a crawl-through tunnel, glass-bottomed floor, rope and cattle grid lend an additional frisson of thrill to this spine-tingling adventure.
On the Schilthorn ridge, 15 information panels currently form the Walk of Fame. Paying tribute to the cast and behind-the-scenes contributors to the iconic James Bond movie "On Her Majesty's Secret Service", each panel features a photo, signature, handprint in steel and a personal message.
Interlaken is a fantastic base for seeing the best of central Switzerland's magnificent scenery while enjoying the comforts of a chic lakeside resort. Enjoy the pretty town.

Traveler reviews
Amazing
An incredible Cable Car ride through the monrañas. Wonderful view. A great choice for brunch at a 360 restaurant overlooking the Alps
A great day
Breathtaking place. The driver was great and the minivan was comfortable so the drive to and back was very relaxing
Schilthorn and Bond
They should know that they’re coming to Schiltorn for the breathtaking views but it is disappointing for 007 fans. Most of the interactive activities were not working. Even the gimmick in the bathroom were not there anymore. The cardboard cutouts were so beat up. Very few merchandise on 007. It seems management does not care about it.
Incredible experience...
Incredible experience going up to Schilthorn. The views are amazing! This was the best day of our trip! Our tour guide was funny and friendly and very clear with our schedule of the day.
Rushed and not guided tour to Schiltorn and Interlaken
Rushed trip to Schiltorn and Interlaken. While our driver John was great in terms of providing the information and tickets, we were pretty much on our own without any guide. And because we had to drop 2 other passengers for the Jungfrau tour, it took us 3 and not 2 hours to reach the base of Schiltorn which meant we were rushed there as well as later at Interlaken where we did not even get a full hour.
