Eating while the Alps go round
Piz Gloria is the round building on the summit of the Schilthorn, at 2,970 metres, the one that appears in On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Its restaurant turns on its axis and makes a full circle in 45 minutes: without leaving your table you watch the Eiger, the Mönch and the Jungfrau and the rest of the Bernese Alps drift past. It is a proper sit-down restaurant with table service, not a stand-up café, and it is open all year as long as the cable car is running.
What to order
In the morning, the Schilthorn Brunch, a buffet with juices, yoghurts, birchermüesli, scrambled eggs, bacon, rösti and waffles, with a hot section of roast meat and pasta from 11:00. It is served until 14:00 and bought together with the cable car ticket: from Stechelberg, return with brunch costs CHF 125 if you go up before 8:51 and CHF 135 up to 11:51.
At midday the menu runs from soups and cold-meat and cheese boards to mountain dishes: rösti with vegetables or with smoked salmon from CHF 25, vegetarian schnitzel for CHF 28, perch fillets for CHF 32 and entrecôte with herb butter for CHF 44. In the afternoon, from 14:00, the Piz Gloria Zvieri is a board of local cold meats and cheeses that is also sold with the ticket.
Booking and opening hours
It opens from 8:00 to 17:50, whenever the cable car is running; hot dishes are served from 11:00 to 16:30. The restaurant recommends booking a table on its website; groups should call +41 33 856 21 50. Before buying your ticket, check the summit webcam.

Tips
