About this audio guide
This guide to Piz Gloria, the revolving restaurant on the Schilthorn above Mürren near Interlaken, starts with the ring of floor beneath your table. It goes back to the late nineteen-sixties, when a Bernese architect's half-built summit ran short of money, and to a British film crew searching the Alps for a villain's hideout. Take a window seat and keep an eye on the peaks as they drift past.
