Hi all,
I'm planning to spend Sat and Sun in Berner Oberland - specifically want to take the cable car up to Piz Gloria in Schilthorn, bike in Murren and hike to the Trummelbach.
I see that there will be clouds and thunderstorm on Saturday and partly sunny on Sunday.
Do you recommend I travel to Schilthorn on Sunday when I can see better, and do the hiking and biking on Saturday (when it might rain/thunderstorm) or can I do all three in one day when it's not cloudy/raining? Thanks for your help in advance!

For the the Schilthorn you should make the decision to go up or not the day of. most hotels have a channel so you can see the conditions from the top of the mountain. Who wants to spend money to go all the way up somewhere and you can not see anything?

It is much preferable to do Schilthorn when you can see the stunning views. That said, if you are not lucky and its cloudy/low visibility the days you can go to Schilthorn, if you have the Swiss Travel Pass which covers the trip, I'd go anyway, especially if you are a James Bond fan. There are some Bond exhibits and there can be some breaks in the cloud cover. But, yes, really try to go on a day that is more clear and save things like the waterfall when weather is less perfect. I think also, like many mountain systems, thunderstorms tend to pick up in the afternoon.

Go in the morning, earlier the better, as clouds roll in in the afternoon.
