Schilthorn, Mountain summit in Bernese Alps, Switzerland

Schilthorn is a 2,970 m summit in the Bernese Alps above the Lauterbrunnen valley. Its top is built over with the Piz Gloria revolving restaurant and a cable-car station, a circular structure with a dark conical roof, a band of windows inscribed "Schilthorn", and a silver cupola with an antenna mast.

The concession for the cable car to the Schilthorn was granted in 1961, construction began in 1963, and the first three sections opened in 1965; the final section followed in 1967, when funds only covered the shell of the summit station. The stalled building was finished when the producers of On Her Majesty's Secret Service paid for its completion in exchange for using it as the film's Piz Gloria, with shooting around the Schilthorn from October 1968 to May 1969.

The summit is closely tied to the annual Inferno ski race that has started here since 1928 and descends steep slopes below. This event shapes local identity and attracts skiers from around the world.

Since 13 December 2024 the ascent from Stechelberg to Mürren is a single cable car section with a maximum gradient of 159.4%, the steepest in the world; from Mürren two further sections run via Birg to the summit. A direct trip from the valley station takes 22 minutes. The Mürren–Birg section alone climbs 1039 metres.

The Piz Gloria restaurant at the top rotates completely, with each rotation taking about 45 minutes. This allows diners to see all the surrounding mountain peaks without leaving their table.
