Comments:	Piz Gloria is a revolving restaurant at the 2,970 m (9,740 ft) high summit of the Schilthorn. The name Piz Gloria originated in Ian Fleming's 1963 James Bond novel On Her Majesty's Secret Service, in which it is the mountain-top hideout of the villain Ernst Stavro Blofeld and contains an allergy clinic. The 1969 film of the same name was shot here. After filming was completed, the restaurant retained the Piz Gloria name of the film location, and currently acknowledges the film's significant contribution to its commercial reputation; the lower floor houses a James Bond exhibition containing memorabilia and film clips. <p> Hours of operation: Monday through Sunday 08.00 (8:30?am) to 17.00 (5:00 pm).
