Piz Gloria by littlesam1
Piz Gloria. What a thrill. I saw the Bond film On Her Majesty's Secret Service when I was in the ninth grade. It immediately became one of my favorite Bond films. After many years of watching the video and now DVD I never thought I would actually be at Piz Gloria. But here I was. I was really concerned about going here though. I had built up such an expectation before the trip that I was afraid it would be a let down when I finally arrived. But it was not a let down at all. I have included a link to the Schilthorn/Piz Gloria web site. There is information about the area and also a web cam. I spent many hhurs at my job watching the web cam's at Piz Gloria in the time preceeding my trip from my PC. Piz Gloria in reality is revolving restaurant that is solar powered. It opens for breakfast and closes at 4 p.m. each day. So if you are planning on dining here you will have to get here early. We did not need a reservation. The menu was very good and the food was very good. The restaurant makes one complete revolution every hour. The view is phenominal.
