    Fair play, you absolutely bombed it down there. Makes it look so easy!

    Been down that run with the OHMSS theme playing. Best feeling in the world for anyone who love skiing and James Bond!

      Same here. I made a day trip over from Wengen to do this run. It was a blast!

    it's hard work when it's not prepared. people often ride back down on the gondola after they've seen it.

    *Only managed to do the complete run from Schilthorn to Lauterbrunnen a couple of times, due to lack of snow. Met Martin & Graham at Wengen in circa 1988 when Graham took his then girlfriend down the run to Inner Wengen on his back !*

    "Steilste" is NOT the name of the run. It just means 'steepest'.

    i dont get the 75% bit. ive skied what i thought was 50% and its steep. basically jump turn steep. i know video doesnt show the slope steeps well, but 75%. i thought that was strictly Alaska stuff for EXTREME skiers! no? is this run really 75% steep?

      75% is NOT 75 degrees. (It's about 37 degrees, according to my calculator.)

    I was staying in Wengen and went to ski from the Piz Gloria ..... that wanted something like Eurps 90 just to go up on the cable car. Ridiculous ...... I am not cheap but just refused on principle.

      The funny thing is that a day-pass for skiing the area costs much less, but of course you have to be a rather good skier to descend Piz Gloria....

      in the "good old days " the first 300m had moguls like Volkswagon beetles ! and it is way steeper than it looks on film, but on a day like this its a nice run rather than the bone breaker it used to be :D

      I did it often as a beginner. It taught me my lessons the hard way. It’s beautiful, but I can think of plenty of more challenging blacks.

      It is easy. The first 100-300m meters are steep and narrow, the rest is boring flat.

    I always think mountains all look the same, not greatly scenic.

      If you truly look at them for a lon time then you appreciate their size and power. But I agree that from a fast glance it can be a bit boring
