  • 🔍 Join us on a thrilling adventure as we take you to the iconic Piz Gloria, the breathtaking location where the James Bond classic "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" was filmed! 🎥🏔️
    🎬 In this video, we'll transport you to the heart of the Swiss Alps, where stunning vistas and high-stakes espionage meet. Our journey begins with a scenic cable car ride to the summit of Schilthorn, where Piz Gloria perches majestically, providing a 360-degree panoramic view of the Swiss Alps.
    🔫 Relive the suspenseful moments from the movie as we explore the very spots where George Lazenby's 007 infiltrated Blofeld's mountaintop lair. From the revolving restaurant that doubles as Blofeld's headquarters to the icy corridors that hosted epic ski chases, we'll show you the locations that made cinematic history.
    ❄️ But that's not all! Join us as we uncover the secrets of the Bond experience at Piz Gloria, featuring a museum dedicated to the film and an array of Bond memorabilia. AND as a special treat, an interview with the Head of Markets, Alan Ramsay at the rotating restaurant, offers not just stunning views but also information into Bond's world like never before.
    🚡 If you're a Bond fan, a lover of stunning alpine landscapes, or simply seeking an unforgettable adventure, this video is a must-watch.

    This was just amazing!!! Such a change of mindset because I watched it on my way back from Jamaica. All your recent videos were Jamaica themed and I was totally immersed, then off to Switzerland!!! LoL. David, after going to a location I now understand the effort that is made to get us these videos. Thank you for doing these, and all the flights, standing in airport lines and security, etc. One more thing, my spouse hates James Bond, yet her favorite part of Jamaica...... Dunn's River Falls! There's always that negotiation with the spouse for sure!

    I was taken there in 1976 for my first experience as a 'beginner' skier!!! The day before I learnt to snowplough in the back garden of a chalet at 1000m. Imagine the shock when coming out of the cable car to this! I had to negotiate an icy black mogel field as my first run. I was 16!

Thanks for this insight into the spectacular location for what has, over the decades, evolved to be my 2nd fave James Bond movie (FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE is my #1 and GOLDFINGER and CASINO ROYALE are tied for #3). One little logistical question: What time did you arrive. Looks quiet upon your arrival. Did you arrange special entry? Or just arrive right at opening time (and what time is that)? Thanks for any details.
