Schilthorn, Switzerland

Another day trip, this time only a 10,000 foot elevation mountain peak. Schilthorn is known for the early James Bond movie "Her Majesty's Secret Service". This trip took only 2 hours to get there, on two trains and four suspended cable cars. Switzerland is quite picturesque, just like seen in a movie, so the journey is quite enjoyable. On the last cable car ride up, the cloud cover was very thick, at one point no visibility and then suddenly a break through the clouds. Stunning! The wind was mild on this day, so although cold, we were able to stay outside longer. Funny, you'd think we never saw snow, it was fun. The Matterhorn peak is visible from here. This Schilthorn area is skiable. On our return back to Interlaken we took a stop at Trummelbach, 10 waterfalls fed by the glaciers, falling inside a mountain. There's an elevator inside the mountain we rode up.
