"Starting from the Gimmelwald cable car, you’ll want to begin your morning around 8 AM so that by the time you reach the Schilthorn, there’s still panoramic views of the Bernese Oberland to be had in all directions.

Uphill and downhill journeys from Gimmelwald run at every 0 and 30 minutes past the hour, with the ride to the peak lasting 27 minutes."
