Highlights:
Schilthorn is located in the Alps south of Interlaken, with an altitude of 2,970 meters. It is surrounded by well-known peaks such as Jungfrau and Eiger. Schilthorn is famous for the thrilling fight scenes in the 007 series "The Queen's Order". In summer, you can experience two different landscapes. If you go to Schilthorn in summer, when you reach the foot of the mountain, you can see green grass, local huts, and free-range cattle and sheep; It's another world, full of snow-covered scenes. Climbing by glass box cable car The main way for tourists to climb the Schilthorn is to take the cable car, but the difference is that this is a large glass box that can accommodate 80 people and moves up the mountain at a fast speed. The process of taking the cable car to the Schilthorn is fascinating, first from Stechelberg, 867 meters above sea level, to Gimmelwald, 1368 meters above sea level, and then to Mürren, Birg, and the process of changing the cable car. You will continue to experience the feeling of a real bird's-eye view. Even through the glass of the cable car, the photos taken are still shocking. The exciting ascent experience is a more thrilling section from Murren at 1638 meters to Birg at 2677 meters. In less than 10 minutes, the altitude is raised by 1 kilometer, and people will constantly exclaim at the beautiful scenery outside the window when ascending. I also continued to experience the feeling of weightlessness. From the Schilthorn Observation Deck, you can see the end of the cable car at the Schilthorn Observation Deck, which is 2970 meters above sea level. This is the place where the 007 movie was filmed. There are countless majestic peaks around the Schilthorn. From afar, you can see the Jungfrau, Eiger and Moshi, which are also among the mountains. 360-degree revolving panorama restaurant There is a revolving restaurant PizGloria on the top of the mountain. When the weather is good, you can dine here. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the peaks. Every time you turn a section, there will be an iron sign with a clear icon to tell you who you are facing at this angle. Which are the peaks and their elevations. The restaurant has special recommended dishes every day, which are worth experiencing. Photo with "Bond" There is also a James Bond figure with a pistol on the viewing platform, and you can take pictures with the "celebrity". If you have enough time, you can also enter the octagonal theater in the observation deck to watch an 18-minute multi-view Schilthorn region scenery film, including highlights from the 007 movie.

Highlights:
Chillon Castle is located on the shore of Lake Geneva, which is full of charm at the foot of the Alps. It is a representative castle in Switzerland. The cornerstone of Chillon Castle is built at the bottom of the lake, giving people a feeling of floating on the lake, but the castle looks extremely solid. The medieval gray-white brick wall with red cone top blends in with the surrounding scenery of mountains and rivers. Picturesque. This ancient castle with a thousand-year history has also inspired literati and writers. Rousseau, Hugo, Byron, Alexandre Dumas, etc. have all left their footprints here, and Byron's "Prisoner of Chillon" is even more impressive. This castle has a great reputation. Castle History The historical records of Chillon Castle can be traced back to the 11th century. Since ancient Roman times, it has been the main traffic road between Italy and France. In the 12th century, it became the residence of the Italian Savoy family, in 1536. After being administered by the Swiss in Bern, it was used as an official residence and armory. Today, the quaint rooms of the castle display various utensils, silver swords, helmets and other items used at that time. Walking across the wooden bridge and stepping into the castle, you will have a feeling of stepping back in time, back to the Middle Ages. Visit and guide the existing castle buildings including courtyards, watchtowers, halls, bedrooms, prisons, castle main towers, etc., especially the prison. Prison The prison is located on the east side of the entrance to the first floor of the castle, where the curved vault of the 13th-century Gothic church is preserved, all around it is built of rock. More than 200 prisoners were imprisoned that year. In 1532, the abbot of St. Victor Abbey in Geneva, Boniwain, advocated the independence of Geneva, and was chained to the stone pillar for four years until March 29, 1536 in Switzerland. After the people captured the castle, they released him. In 1816, when the British poet Byron visited Chillon Castle, he heard about this tragic history, so he left his signature on the stone pillar and wrote "The Prisoner of Chillon". There are many magnificent halls in the castle. They were once the place where the Safoy family feasted, and now they are also used to undertake various banquets, dances and birthday parties. The windows of all the halls face Lake Geneva, and the windows open to the charming scenery composed of Lake Geneva and the surrounding mountains. The castle apartment in the apartment district is as restored as possible to the furnishings and furnishings of the time, and you can admire many representative medieval furniture and decorations. Bourne's bedroom, with its large comfortable four-poster bed with heating, private bathroom and modern plumbing, is well worth a look. The chapel has well preserved religious frescoes and sculptures from the 14th century, which are of great historical and cultural value. The armory exhibition in the castle is also not to be missed. Through the equipment display and multimedia interactive equipment, you can gain an in-depth understanding of various military equipment and defense devices in the Middle Ages.
