Schilthorn and Piz Gloria

...Christmas in September

At 9,744 feet, Schilthorn is home to Piz Gloria and offers incredible views of the Bernese Oberland. With fresh snow and crystal clear skies, we couldn’t have chosen a better day to summit.

Piz Gloria is the world’s first revolving restaurant, but in the James Bond movie On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, it served as Blofeld’s headquarters in the Alps. We missed the memo to join the crowds and come dressed as Bond.

    that TOTALLY looks like the place in the Bond movie! That’s so AWESOME! haha

    P.S. You are totally awesome too. AND word on the street is that Boeing is working on an offer for you, so I hope you plan to accept it someday. If not, I’m going to be terribly sad without my cube buddy. Miss you!
