Schilthorn, Switzerland

Bond fans know the summit as Piz Gloria, the revolving restaurant stormed in On Her Majesty's Secret Service; everyone else knows it as the best front-on view of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau in the Alps. The ride up from Stechelberg, via the clifftop village of Mürren, is half the fun. Have breakfast in the slowly rotating restaurant — the full panorama drifts past your coffee in forty-five minutes. Book the first cabin on a clear morning.
