The Schilthorn summit stands at 2,970 meters (`10,000 feet) offering a commanding view of the surrounding Bernese Alps including Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. It is the site of Piz Gloria, a revolving restaurant, featured in the 1969 James Bond movie On Her Majesty’s Secret Service and our destination for this morning.

I shot the self portrait below by using the glass windows of the restaurant as a mirror which reflected the mountains surrounding the summit.

Mürrenbach Falls, according to a sign at the base, claims to be the tallest waterfall in continental Europe by virtue of a recent reclassification of the top section from a cascade to a portion of the falls. I have not been able to substantiate this assertion elsewhere but the falls are most impressive and beautiful in any case. They are located in Stechelberg where we descended from Schilthorn as did the many paragliders which launch from Mürren.

After collecting our bags from our hotel we took a train to Grindelwald where our stay coincided with an evening street festival featuring local food, entertainment and even fireworks in celebration of the 4th of July.
