🔍 Join us on a thrilling adventure as we take you to the iconic Piz Gloria, the breathtaking location where the James Bond classic "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" was filmed! 🎥🏔️
🎬 In this video, we'll transport you to the heart of the Swiss Alps, where stunning vistas and high-stakes espionage meet. Our journey begins with a scenic cable car ride to the summit of Schilthorn, where Piz Gloria perches majestically, providing a 360-degree panoramic view of the Swiss Alps.
🔫 Relive the suspenseful moments from the movie as we explore the very spots where George Lazenby's 007 infiltrated Blofeld's mountaintop lair. From the revolving restaurant that doubles as Blofeld's headquarters to the icy corridors that hosted epic ski chases, we'll show you the locations that made cinematic history.
❄️ But that's not all! Join us as we uncover the secrets of the Bond experience at Piz Gloria, featuring a museum dedicated to the film and an array of Bond memorabilia. AND as a special treat, an interview with the Head of Markets, Alan Ramsay at the rotating restaurant, offers not just stunning views but also information into Bond's world like never before.
🚡 If you're a Bond fan, a lover of stunning alpine landscapes, or simply seeking an unforgettable adventure, this video is a must-watch.

The mantra of living like Bond, one moment at a time emanates from a concept of experiencing the joy of collecting small moments in life that add up to amazing journeys and stories....whether it's through style, locations, literature, fitness, and the movies themselves the world of Bond is explored through its people and their stories.
Ultimately though, The Bond Experience channel is a celebration of the James Bond franchise and the many people that form a true community. Our core mission is to create a strong connection in the Bond community amongst all the fans, regardless of interest or demographic.

This was just amazing!!! Such a change of mindset because I watched it on my way back from Jamaica. All your recent videos were Jamaica themed and I was totally immersed, then off to Switzerland!!! LoL. David, after going to a location I now understand the effort that is made to get us these videos. Thank you for doing these, and all the flights, standing in airport lines and security, etc. One more thing, my spouse hates James Bond, yet her favorite part of Jamaica...... Dunn's River Falls! There's always that negotiation with the spouse for sure!

I did take the train to Lauterbrunnen, like Lazenby does in OHMSS, but I really hope to get back to Switzerland again soon so I can visit this amazing place. Thanks for this great video!

Fantastic! Thanks for this insight into the spectacular location for what has, over the decades, evolved to be my 2nd fave James Bond movie (FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE is my #1 and GOLDFINGER and CASINO ROYALE are tied for #3). One little logistical question: What time did you arrive. Looks quiet upon your arrival. Did you arrange special entry? Or just arrive right at opening time (and what time is that)? Thanks for any details.

Don't they sell the orange jackets anymore that the baddies wore? yes it was £240 pound but it was unique, and one thing you never mentioned about the shop unless it's changed, there is NO on-line presence, you have to go to that shop to buy that Bond stuff. And these t-shirts are the same they had in 2017. I done the same with the toilets, did you sit on the loo, and look up as Blofield's voice spoke to you and the lights changed as if you was in one of the rooms as he spoke to the girls at night ? One thing yes it's a Brilliant place to visit for Bond fans, But it's crazy money to get up there, 3 cable cars 1 train had to get and i stayed in the little town just below Murren, had to be over £100 in travel to get their and back. And it's still the most money I have ever spent in one day on holiday and yes that restaurant is superb but boy its top dollar prices, Switzerland is a crazy expensive country so just beware, also if you can 10 miles away is the village of Grindelwald and the 1st Mountain with the cliff walk and the amazing frozen river which you have to see to believe it I took 3D Video it's stunning also a lot cheaper to reach then Piz Gloria. If you are going to spend the money to go to Piz Gloria then you must visit the The Bachalpsee Lake, you will be open mouthed it's stunning. And one bit of infro if you work for a Government Department in the UK you are told not to wear any clothes which has the badge on outside
