The Schilthorn alone is a spectacular sight to see, when you mix the beauty of the mountain, with its panoramic views, with James Bond, magic happens! Home to the world’s longest aerial cable-car system, the Schilthorn is also credited with providing an extraordinary set for the Bond classic, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. On your visit, you will be mesmerized by the most awe-inspiring panoramic views in Switzerland – filled with over 200 mountain peaks, endless glaciers, and lakes. To add even more allure, it is here where you can pay a visit to Piz Gloria, an iconic revolving restaurant which pays tribute to 007. Visitors are welcomed inside with 400 seats all offering amazing views from Mount Titlis to Mont Blanc and far across to the Black Forest. Treat yourself to a Martini as you sit back and relax, the restaurant serves them “shaken not stirred”. If you arrive earlier in the day, enjoy the James Bond breakfast buffet, if you arrive later, you can have a bite of the Spaghetti James Bond. Whatever your culinary choice may be, you can be sure that it will be delicious and pair perfectly with the surrounding views.

Q. Can I exchange my train ticket after its date of departure?
A. Unfortunately, this is not possible. If a train ticket can be exchanged, it normally must be done prior to the first date of validity on the ticket or the train’s departure date. However, please consult the “after sales conditions” found on your confirmation email for exact exchange rules pertaining to the train ticket you booked.
-
Q. Are there luggage handling services at the station for groups?
A. Yes, luggage handling is offered at select train stations in Europe. Please contact our group department for more details.
-
Q. What do I do with my luggage?
A. Once on board you’ll need to find a place to put your bag(s). Small and medium sized bags typically fit on racks located above the seats. Larger suitcases and items can be stored in racks found near the train door entrance.
In addition, you’re responsible for your luggage. The railways assume no responsibility in case of loss or theft of baggage carried on board.
If you’re traveling on Eurostar, Thalys or a TGV, you’re limited to two large items per traveller (maximum 85cm in any one dimension), plus one small item of hand luggage. On most high speed trains there’s room for luggage above the seats and for larger items at the end of each coach.
Be advised that when traveling on Eurostar, Thalys or any French train, you must properly label your bag(s) with your first and last name. In general, it is a good idea to keep luggage tags on your baggage for easy identification.
-
Q. Are there restrooms on the train?
A. Yes! Restrooms can be found on all trains in Europe. Restrooms are easily accessible on all trains and are frequently marked with the letters WC (Water Closet). They’re usually found at the front or back of each train car and typically include a sink, toilet, and locking door.
-
Q. Where can I store my luggage on an overnight train?
A. Luggage can be stored on a small luggage rack and any floor or bed space available. Keep in mind that this space is shared among all travellers occupying the sleeping compartment or couchette.
-
Q. What is a travel day on a rail pass?
A. A travel day on a rail pass is a 24-hour period, from midnight to midnight, during which you can take as many train journeys as you desire. Since rail passes use calendar days, journeys within 24-hours of each other but on different days will count as two travel days.
