Thank you for all the wonderful details about GF and especially OHMSS. I visited Bern, Lauterbrunnen, Murren, Birg and the Schiltorn in 2013 because OHMSS was the first Bond film I ever saw at age 13 on its 69 Christmas release. As it happens, I was doing some post sound work for a film in Munich at the time. (That in itself an out-of-the-ordinary experience for me,) I had lunch on the Schiltorn, so the meal came with a dessert. Then on top of that, I ordered another rich dessert. At ten thousand feet altitude with all that swiss cream and butter in me, I nearly had a heart attack! (I was 57) Very scary. Going up the Piz Gloria stairs, I could barely make it, my heart thumping! Under normal conditions, I am a very healthy guy with a good BMI. Once I got down to the valley floor again, I was OK. Nothing like that has happened to me before or since. High altitudes and rich foods together appear to be a dangerous combination. They should have held onto Lazenby. I thought George was totally awesome. Greetings from Los Angeles.

Thank you. It's strange what the altitude and lack of oxygen does with you, right? I remember literally running up and down stairs chasing someone during our OHMSS 50th anniversary event there, amd experienced something similar! Scary indeed.

There is a small chapel on Grimsel Pass. Very beautiful when I visited. Also a clean water stream somewhere on the three passes. (Grimsel, Furka, and Susten).

Great to see that so many of the shooting locations from Goldfinger - even the gas station - remain unchanged this many years later. A lesson for the world.

@onthetracksof007 3 жыл бұрын

The funny story about the gas station, is that they HAD removed all fuel pumps at first, but now slowly change things back to original as they suddenly realised the touristic potential (they're a hotel!)

Dear Marijn of course we have a capital and the city name is Bern. Cheers from Ticino

@silviobiasotto7069 5 ай бұрын

Nowhere it is stipulated that Bern is in fact the official capital of Switzerland. Two laws - Article 32External link of the Act on the Federal Assembly and Article 58External link of the Government and Administration Organisation Act - mention simply that “The Federal Assembly meets in Bern” and “The official seat of the Federal Council, the departments and the Federal Chancellery is the City of Bern”. Bern is de facto the capital, but not officially.

Ok, I guess I should have known you wouldn't have made such a gaff. Although, in practise I think it's still true that they do: "nowhere is it stipulated that Bern is in fact the official capital of Switzerland. Two laws - Article 32External link of the Act on the Federal Assembly and Article 58External link of the Government and Administration Organisation Act - mention simply that “The Federal Assembly meets in Bern” and “The official seat of the Federal Council, the departments and the Federal Chancellery is the City of Bern”. In practice, however, with the presence of parliament, government and foreign embassies, Bern is well and truly the capital of Switzerland."

Of course, that is what I was taught in school too. But the fact that it is 'not official' is kind of funny.

Bern is NOT a capital, just a federal city; that's a slight difference. Nevertheless, colloquial, Bern is often incorrectly referred to as the capital by the Swiss themselves (especially in the French part of the country)... It's a matter of education.

@garrysekelli6776 Жыл бұрын

The capital is definitely Bern. That is where the Parlament building is. Also it's the most easily defenseable of the large cities whereas Zurich and Basel can be easily invaded.
