007 Schilthorn Summit: Zurich's Alpine Secret Mission

schiltorn was cancelled due to the cable car not functioning. the tour operators did not notify me. it was only by chance when I enquired where i was to redeem my ticket then only they told me it was cancelled. I was given options for another tour or a refund. I chose another tour which was 30 francs more. I was told I could have used my credit card,but when I had to pay they said cash only. so I used up all my remaining francs. I was very disappointed in that. the tour itself was enjoyable.

Let me start by saying our driver/guide was excellent. The difficulties we experienced were weather and construction related. Upon our arrival we came upon a muddy lot full of construction materials and equipment. The lower gondola station is under major reconstruction. As is ALL of the gondola facilities and way stations. There was now where to sit, no refreshments availible, just mud, dirt and debris everywhere. As we traversed our way up the mountain we found similar conditions at each stop. Most cars were shared with workers moving equipment. When we finally arrived at the top at the Schiltorn Station, more, heavier construction. Much of the view from the revolving restaurant was of workers on the other side of the glass looking back you. Many of the features of the 007 Experience were out of order. It seemed as if they were just letting things go until construction was over. It will be an amazing place to visit and experience AFTER CONSTRUCTION IS COMPLETED. Not sure when that will be since all signs referenced a completion date of 20XX. They don't even know. I would not recommend this tour until after construction is done. We are very disappointed to have paid nearly $500 for half of an experience and no one from the travel company said a word about what we would encounter.

Breathtaking views. Spectacular experience. Amazing day for us. Tour guide was outstanding. Views were like nothing we have ever seen. It snowed at the top.

Incredible views, cable car experience, excellent guide (Tomas), Piz Gloria/ James Bond exhibition and views of Eiger and Jaufrung mountains.

Incredible day in the gorgeous Alps!! Tony is a great guide! Full of information about the area. I highly recommend this tour!! 5 stars for sure!!

We ended up the only two people on the tour which was amazing. The bus holds about 10-15 people so it would be a small group normally. The drive is a bit long but it's so very worth it. I would suggest going all the way to the top to start. Check out the James Bond exhibit, which has lots of interactive things to do. Then grab a meal in the spinning restaurant on the top floor. Don't worry, it moves slowly. We got the buffet for about $37 per person and hung out for almost 2 hours enjoying the spectacular view. If you like small cities, save time to head back down and visit the small hillside village. There is shopping, food and drinks available. Our guide said to allow 40 mins to get from the top to the bottom. We started heading down about 2 pm and got to the bus 3:15 pm. Plan ahead because it was very busy. This was a Sunday in Jan 2024.

The guide was very helpful. He made sure we knew where to go and gave us excellent pointers about food etc to make our experience better! The views were fantastic! The cable cars were fun. Very pleasant experience.
