Shilthorn, Switzerland
Mountain | reviews | videos | photos
http://tourvideos.com/ We're up at about 12,000 feet here on the Schilthorn Mountain in Switzerland at the back of Lauterbrunnen Valley, one of the world's great spots.. They have snow all year round on the glacier. You can sit indoors in perfect comfort and have a meal or just a snack, do a little shopping in the gift shop. A large outdoor terrace provides an excellent vantage to look back across the valley at the three great peaks, the Jungfrau, Mönch and Eiger, whose complete forms can be seen better from this distance than close-up. Then cap it off with a drink in the Crystal Lounge and imagine watching James Bond in the frantic chase scene from On Her Majesty's Secret Service, filmed here in 1969. On a clear day like this, you've got the sunny highlights and the dramatic clouds in the background, beautiful peaks and valleys all covered in snow. The view from the Schilthorn is just as spectacular as the view from the Jungfrau, but different in its own way, with that amazing panorama of peaks all around. While the Jungfrau observation deck is about 2,000 feet higher, with that endless glacier, both mountains are covered with snow all year round and give spectacular views of mountains, glaciers and valleys. On a sunny summer day the temperatures hover around freezing but usually feel quite comfortable when you are properly dressed.

You change cable cars in the villages of Murren and Gimmelwald along the way, gaining different perspectives on the mountains as you travel. Or, you could take your time on this route with a beautiful half-hour stroll from Murren down to Gimmelwald and catch the cable car down from there, one of the best easy hikes ever.

I was there April 2015. There was snow everywhere though the temperature wasn't too bad. The
cable car was pricey. Any questions just leave a message. -
What time of year is this? Or rather, what month?

Nice video. Cool that you mentioned paragliding, except I suspect you unnecessarily scared people off by referring to it as "jumping off a mountain". You don't jump off anything, you get gently lifted UP. And it's not a parachute, it's a wing (it flies very much like a sailplane or a large soaring bird). Sorry to pontificate like this but it was in Interlaken that I had my first flight so the subject makes me feel warm and fuzzy :-)
