Itinerary
You board the local train to Lauterbrunnen. It will take you within 25 minutes into the Lauterbrunnen valley.
Arrive at the village of Lauterbrunnen closed to the end of the valley, with a view of the surrounding mountains. Here you change onto the local bus, which drives in 10 minutes to Stechelberg.
The village is connected by the Luftseilbahn Stechelberg-Mürren-Schilthorn (LSMS), an aerial tramway constructed in 1965, to other amenities and locations in the area.
After two rides on the aerial cableway, you make a stop at the "Birg" station. A panoramic terrace allows you to enjoy the stunning panoramo to the surrounding mountains. If you prefer a bit more thrill: 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.
Arrive at "Piz Gloria", the location featured in the 1969 James Bond movie On Her Majesty's Secret Service. The summit has a panoramic view which spans from the Titlis, Jungfrau, Mönch, Eiger, over the Bernese Alps and the Jura mountains up to the Vosges Mountains and the Black Forest. Mont Blanc is also just visible. The revolving restaurant, the terrace and the special exhibition about the James Bond movie are the sight that you will visit during your stay.
Mürren is a traditional Walser mountain village in the Bernese Highlands of Switzerland, at an elevation of 1,638 meters above sea level and it cannot be reached by public road. With a walk through the village you will cross Mürren within 20 minutes. Enjoy the typical wooden chalets and the panoramic views to the surrounding mountains, before you board the local railway in direction Lauterbrunnen. Several restaurants and bars invite you to relax, to enjoy the view, or discover old wooden chalets and green meadows. Your tour guide is available to you for information or hints about Mürren and places to go.
From Lauterbrunnen, the local train takes you back in 25 minutes to Interlaken, where the tour ends.

Thank you for your review and happy you enjoyed our tour.
Thoroughly enjoyed our day with Toni. He was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in orienting us to the Swiss way of life. We appreciated the personalized suggestions during the tour, and leaving us with a list of recommendations for the next few days of our trip. Great communication leading up to the trip was much appreciated.
Thank you for your review and we already forwarded it to our guide. Happy you enjoyed one of our tours.
Roman was our guide and we could not have asked for a better guide. Thanks for a wonderful experience.
Thank you for your feedback, we'll forward it to our guide.
It was a trip of a lifetime! Tony made navigating 10 travel modes in one day a piece of cake! We learned so much about this magical country.
Hi Thank you for your review. Hope it will be another possibility to welcome you again in Switzerland. Kind regards
Visited in 2008 and it was great. Went in 2019 and hardly recognise the inside due to Bond world exhibition. I am a big OHMSS fan ,hence why i visited in 2008 but walking round now is hardly recognisable inside apart from staircase and some parts of the restaurant. This is my personal opinion. If you have never visited before then you will not know the difference, It will still be worth a visit. I shall not return.
Annia was extremely attentive and engaging. She knew her way around Schilthorn (Sp?), and she made the excursion interesting and very pleasant. I would definitely sign up for another excursion with Annia. We went in September and had great weather.
Dear Zeida Thank you for the feedback. I'll forward it to Annia. Kind regards Mike Swisstravelguide.ch
