We then took a second cable car up to the summit itself which was featured in the 1969 James Bond movie On Her Majesty's Secret Service. After considering a number of locations, the stalled construction of the sports bar atop the Schilthorn was chosen and the film's producer financed the completion of the famous revolving platform for the right to use the facility for the first and only Bond film starring George Lazenby. A black ski run featured in the film starts at the summit and leads down to the Engetal below Birg.
The views are magnificent includes Titlis, along Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau to Mont Blanc and into the Black Forest.
The last image is an accidental double exposure but, of course, now I wish I had taken some more!!
