Vom Birg bis zum Schilthorn...

From Birg to Schilthorn (CH)

The final leg to the Schilthorn leaves from Birg and carries you over a geologic landscape that was once covered by glaciers. The result of these glaciers is a landscape that was scraped smooth and that features folded and tilted rock. To see some of the geologic features on the Schilthorn, go here.

Telecabine auf den Schilthorn...

Taking the telecabine from Stechelberg to Schilthorn : Lauterbrunnen Valley, CH

While we were in the Lauterbrunnen valley, we decided to take the telecabine up to the top of the Schilthorn. This mountain featured prominently in the 1968 James Bond film On Her Majesty's Secret Service. To get to the top, you can take a telecabine from Stechelberg (3,024 ft / 922 m) to Mürren (5,412 ft / 1,650 m). You transfer to another telecabine from Mürren to Birg (8,783 ft / 2,677 m) and from that to another that carries you from Birg to Schilthorn (9,744 ft / 2,970 m). The entire trip, including transfers, takes approximately 32 minutes.
