Helpful Tips Before You Go
1 Check the weather forecast in advance: Because views atop Schilthorn are best on clear days, we recommend checking the forecast and live webcams on the official Schilthorn website before purchasing tickets or heading up.
2 Dress appropriately: The summit remains chilly year-round, even in summer. Always bring a windbreaker jacket, warm clothing, sunglasses, and sunscreen along.
