GROUP EXCURSION

MAGICAL MOUNT SCHILTHORN - JUNE 25

Allegis/TownSquare will host you on this exciting excursion to experience some of the world’s most famous and dramatic scenery. A short motor coach ride takes you to Lauterbrunnen and on to Stechelberg, passing impressive waterfalls, quaint villages, flowers, meadows and pine trees.  At Stechelberg you board Europe’s longest aerial cable car to the top of Mt. Schilthorn. The difference in height from the ground station to the very top is 7,000 ft which takes you exactly 1,010 seconds of traveling time. Awe-inspiring views stretch from the Black Forest in Germany to the mighty Mont-Blanc massif in France and, of course, the magnificent Mt. Jungfraujoch group with its eternal ice and snow. Lunch can be obtained at the Piz Gloria revolving restaurant 10,000 ft in the sky – made famous by the 007 James Bond film, On her Majesty’s Secret Service, as one of the filming locations.  

On the way back to the base of the mountain, we will take time to visit the small town of Murren - a charming village with magnificent views and no traffic noise. It is perched on a shelf of Alpine pasture forming a balcony overlooking the steep cleft of the Lauterbrunnen Valley. Destinations like Murren are hard to find – alpine scenery, mountain culture, and exciting activities! It is a great place for hiking enthusiasts who wish to enjoy the natural beauty of Switzerland.
