Birg

"Downhill journeys from Schilthorn run at 3 and 33 minutes past the hour, with the last downhill journey leaving at 4:55 PM. The ride itself is a brisk 4 minutes, and then you’ve made it to Birg! Having descended to 8783 ft, you’ll trade views of snowy scapes for rugged, rocky terrain you can get up close and personal with. Here, you’ll find the Skyline Walk, an observation deck extension of the sun terrace suspended over the vertical abyss below. This is the perfect place to take photos against the craggy landscape behind you before embarking on the Thrill Walk. At the opposite of the Skyline Walk, the Thrill Walk leads down into the perpendicular walls of the imposing rock massif. The steel structure juts out from the rock face before swerving under the observation deck and cableway to end below the cable car station. Features include a crawl-through tunnel, glass-bottomed floor, and rope and cattle grid to deepen the sense of adventure as you scramble around the rock face. In the event of heavy snowfall, the footbridge must first be cleared in the morning, which may delay the opening of the Thrill Walk. If you weren’t feeling too hungry at the Piz Gloria, you have another opportunity here to grab a meal at the Birg Bistro, open daily from 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM. You can make a reservation here!"
