James Bond’s Schilthorn & Mürren Tour

Your guide will meet and greet you at the designated meeting point before introducing the day's adventure. As you travel into the heart of the Bernese Oberland, you'll pass charming villages, lush valleys, and spectacular mountain scenery while learning about the history, culture, and traditions that have shaped life in the Swiss Alps.

Upon arrival in Lauterbrunnen, you'll discover one of Switzerland's most picturesque alpine villages, set beneath towering cliffs and surrounded by spectacular waterfalls. As you stroll through the village with your guide, you'll learn about the valley's fascinating history and how its dramatic landscapes have inspired travellers, artists, and writers for centuries. There will be time to admire the famous Staubbach Falls, one of Europe's highest free-falling waterfalls, cascading almost 300 metres from the cliffs above. Guests wishing to explore further may choose to take a short walk for even more impressive views of this natural wonder.

The journey continues to the mountain village of Mürren, perched high above the Lauterbrunnen Valley. Accessible only by mountain transport, this charming car-free village offers a glimpse into traditional Alpine life. Your guide will share stories about the region's mountain communities as you wander through quiet streets lined with traditional wooden chalets. Surrounded by breathtaking scenery, Mürren provides spectacular views of the iconic Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks that dominate the skyline.

From Mürren, you'll ascend by cable car to the summit of the Schilthorn at an elevation of 2,970 metres. Throughout the journey, your guide will point out the surrounding mountain ranges while sharing insights into the region's mountaineering heritage and the unique geography of the Swiss Alps. As the landscape unfolds beneath you, each stage of the ascent offers increasingly dramatic panoramic views across snow-capped peaks and deep alpine valleys.

At the summit, enjoy free time to take in one of Switzerland's most spectacular mountain panoramas. Schilthorn is internationally renowned as the filming location for the 1969 James Bond movie On Her Majesty's Secret Service, and your guide will explain how this remote mountain became one of cinema's most famous settings. Explore the famous Piz Gloria revolving restaurant, admire uninterrupted 360-degree views, and discover the Bond-themed attractions that continue to attract visitors from around the world.

After an unforgettable day exploring alpine villages, dramatic waterfalls, and one of Switzerland's most iconic mountain peaks, your guide will accompany you on the return journey to Basel, bringing this memorable Swiss Alps adventure to a close.
