Gaislachkogel, Mountain peak in Sölden, Austria

Gaislachkogel is a mountain peak in Sölden at 3,056 meters, reached by a modern three-station gondola system. The summit provides access to hiking trails, mountain biking routes, and the Ice Q restaurant.

The Gaislachkogelbahn, first built in 1966 as the Ötztaler Gletscherbahn, was replaced in 1988 by a rare double-rope loop cable car with a 16 km rope, renewed again in 2010. In 1971 the Gaislachkogel and Hochsölden ski areas were merged, and a year later the Ötztaler Gletscherstraße to the Rettenbachferner made Sölden snow-sure year-round for a time. In 2015 scenes for Spectre were shot at the Ice Q summit restaurant, and on 12 July 2018 the 007 Elements experience opened there.

007 ELEMENTS opened on 12 July 2018 next to the Ice Q restaurant, where scenes for Spectre were shot in 2015. The exhibition is entered through a tunnel cut into the mountain and presents original props and interactive displays on Bond films. In the film, the Johann Obermoser-designed restaurant serves as the fictional Hoffler Klinik, where Bond first meets Dr. Madeleine Swann.

The gondola operates daily from June to October, transporting hikers, mountain bikers, and restaurant visitors to the top. Weather conditions change quickly at this elevation, so appropriate clothing is essential for any visit.

The Ice Q restaurant, designed by architect Johann Obermoser, opened at the summit in December 2013. In Spectre it doubles as the fictional Hoffler Klinik, where Daniel Craig's Bond first meets Dr. Madeleine Swann, played by Léa Seydoux. The Gaislachkoglbahn lift built in winter 2011 also appears in the film.
