Meet your tourguide and board the intercity train from Basel , which takes you through Bern and along the lake Thun to Interlaken 

Interlaken

You board the local train to Lauterbrunnen. It will take you within 25 minutes into the Lauterbrunnen valley. 

Lauterbrunnen

Arrive at the village of Lauterbrunnen closed to the end of the valley, with a view of the surrounding mountains. Here you change onto the local bus, which drives in 10 minutes to Stechelberg. 

Stechelberg

The village is connected by the Luftseilbahn Stechelberg-Mürren-Schilthorn (LSMS), an aerial tramway constructed in 1965, to other amenities and locations in the area.

Birg thrill walk

After two rides on the aerial cableway, you make a stop at the "Birg" station. A panoramic terrace allows you to enjoy the stunning panoramo to the surrounding mountains. If you prefer a bit more thrill: The steel structure clings to the rock before swerving under the observation deck and cableway to end below the cable car station. Features including a crawl-through tunnel, glass-bottomed floor, rope and cattle grid lend an additional frisson of thrill to this spine-tingling adventure.

Schilthorn - Piz Gloria

Arrive at "Piz Gloria", the location featured in the 1969 James Bond movie On Her Majesty's Secret Service. The summit has a panoramic view which spans from the Titlis, Jungfrau, Mönch, Eiger, over the Bernese Alps and the Jura mountains up to the Vosges Mountains and the Black Forest. Mont Blanc is also just visible. The revolving restaurant, the terrace and the special exhibition about the James Bond movie are the sight that you will visit during your stay.
