Stechelberg is located at the entrance to the Lauterbrunnen Gorge and is home to one of the largest nature reserves in Switzerland. The entire nature reserve is surrounded by towering peaks, which are all around 3,000 to 4,000 meters above sea level. What a wonderful thing it is to take a rest here, breathe the fresh mountain air, and have close contact with nature! The unique and vast scenery of the Alps is unforgettable, and the Schilthorn in central Switzerland is even more eye-catching.
Take a train at Interlaken Ost Station and travel through the valley for about half an hour before arriving at Lauterbrunnen. When you leave the train station, you can see the Lauterbrunnen Valley waterfall flowing down from the cliff. Transfer to postal bus No. 141 and arrive at the Stechelberg Valley Cable Car Station at an altitude of 867 meters in about 40 minutes. The cable car departs every 30 minutes to Gimmewald at an altitude of 1,368 meters, then changes to Mürren at an altitude of 1,638 meters, and the Borghorn at an altitude of 2,677 meters, and finally reaches Schilthorn at an altitude of 2,970 meters. The four cable car journeys take approximately For 30 minutes, experience a true bird's-eye view as the cable car travels.
To go to Schilthorn, you have to take the longest snow mountain cable car in Europe. For me, the cable car up the mountain is super scary. The distance between the cable car towers is relatively far, so the cable car will shake! In addition, the mountains are high and when the fog is thicker, nothing can be seen. Traveling up to Schilthorn depends on your luck. When there is heavy fog on the mountain, you can't see anything. When the sky is clear, you can see Monk Peak and Jungfraujoch on the opposite side... Schilthorn Peak was famous for one of the James Bond movies "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" It is famous, so the TV at Schilthorn Station will play this film on a loop, just like you can see "Lushan Love" when you go to Lushan Mountain.
The cable car leading to Schilthorn is mainly divided into three sections. The first section is from Stecherberg to Gimmelwald. The cable car in this section has a very high slope. It rises directly from the Lauterbrunnen gorge area to Gimmelwald on the mountain, giving passengers a pleasant experience. It feels like stepping into a canyon waterfall. The second section is from Gimmelwald to Mürren. This cable car connects two small villages. Under the cable car, there are happy cows and mountains of flowers everywhere. The third section is from the town of Mürren to the Schilthorn, and you change the cable car in Birger on the way. This cable car rises directly from an altitude of 2000 meters to the height of 2970, the summit of the Schilthorn. The top of the mountain is surrounded by clouds and mist.
There is a stop in Bilge on the way to the cable car. It is highly recommended to get off and experience the suspended balcony and cliff walking. The suspended balcony is a viewing platform made of steel and fiberglass that extends from the cliff. Here you can clearly enjoy the beautiful scenery of the three peaks of Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. Cliff walking is a 360-degree viewing gallery built around the cliff with steel bars and fiberglass guardrails. You can’t imagine that the Schilthorn cable car can take 75 people at a time. The climb to Schilthorn is steeper than Jungfraujoch. The last section is straight into the sky, but people in the cable car will not feel the shaking of the cable car at all.
The third section of the cable car is the highest Schilthorn. When you reach the Schilthorn, it is mainly the filming location of the 007 movie. There is a small 007 museum, which is great. There is a platform on the top floor where you can take photos. It feels like this is the closest distance to the snow-capped mountains. It is surrounded by snow-capped mountains. It is very spectacular, but it is still quite cold. There is a photo booth outside. There is a small cinema in the 007 Museum, which shows the records of the 007 movie shot on Schilthorn, which is very interesting. The children had a lot of fun playing various interactive games.
We didn’t meet any other tourists during the entire cliff walk, so we didn’t have to worry about the embarrassment of taking photos because of passers-by entering the country. I have to say that compared to Jungfrau, very few people come to Schilthorn! The scenery surrounded by snow-capped mountains is simply spectacular! Different from the liveliness and strong commercial atmosphere of Jungfraujoch, it seems much quieter here. There are countless majestic peaks around Schilthorn. Different from the green mountain scenery below, what you see here is another style of snow-capped mountains. Finally, I can calm down and enjoy some beautiful snow-capped mountains and sea of clouds.
TIPS: You must go on a sunny day, otherwise you won’t see anything up there. Be sure to wear sunglasses, because the sun is shining directly and the light is so strong that you can't open your eyes, so you'll have to squint the whole time when taking pictures.
In addition, it is recommended to wear a light down jacket. If it is a sunny day, it will not be very cold. It is best to wear a hat and gloves in windy weather.
