Schilthorn is a 2,970 metre high summit in the Bernese Oberland, Switzerland, above Mürren. It has a panorama, which spans from the Titlis, Jungfrau, Mönch, Eiger, over the Bernese Alps and the Jura mountains up to the Vogesen and the Black Forest. Mont Blanc is also just visible. There is a panoramic revolving restaurant, named Piz Gloria, at the summit, which is where the James Bond movie On Her Majesty's Secret Service was set. A famous black ski run featured in the film starts at the summit and leads down to the Engetal below Birg. The resturant revolves a full 360 degrees in 55 minutes.
