Piz Gloria

You do know they have breakfast special. Go up first thing in the morning, have breakfast, and return, all at a reduced rate. Morning is also the best chance for good views as clouds can build up late morning.

Scroll down to Brunch Special.

I did the breakfast brunch in Sept. 2021. Loved it!!!! I still think about the mini waffles. The views were fantastic!!

I did reserve the brunch ahead of time. At that time, the reservation was changeable if I needed to change it. You could email them to see if that is still the case. The Schilthorn tickets we just purchased the morning of. I think we took the first cable car up and it was not crowded.

It looks like the restaurant is closed until March, and the booking site is not available. I think that’s where I got the email address from. So, check back in March if you’d like to email them.

Everyone has their own opinion on this. I personally find it not worthwhile to base your day around a pre-booked meal there. The restaurant is a neat experience because of the revolving views, not because of the food. If you go in the afternoon you'll practically have the place to yourself. You can sit wherever you want, order a drink to enjoy the views for 20 minutes (and dessert if you want) and then move on with your day. I go up there quite often in the summer and between lunch and closing time it will be basically your own private revolving restaurant.

We brought our own picnic lunch we put together at Coop in Mürren & ate at the tables inside one floor below the sit down restaurant. They have a counter there that sells hot cocoa, coffee, soft drinks & snacks. It was perfect. Or you can picnic outside.

Hi Sam
Thanks for your reply and advise.

I plan to buy the Swiss half fare card and Jungfrau card, which will let me go free up to Murren

I went through the link you sent. What I can make out is : the brunch + ticket from Murren from 8.55 to 11.55 is $ 75 per person.
And the afternoon platter + ticket from Murren from is $ 73 per person. No time limit is mentioned for that. Please correct me if I have not understood correctly.

I do not see any breakfast special. Maybe the brunch they serve up to 8.55 is breakfast and that’s what you are talking about. Am I right ?
My question : you must have reached Piz Gloria before 8 to finish breakfast by 8.55.
Did you start from Wengen ?
What time did you start ?
Were you more than 2 persons to get seated at the window seat .
How is the view if you do not get the window seat ?

I agree that reaching early morning is a great idea as the views could potentially be better too.

Hi Carrie
Thanks for your reply.
I opened the website to see if I could email and ask the question about changeable dates, but like you said, Piz Gloria is closed till March.
A few questions :
How many days in advance did you book ?
Was breakfast a buffet ?
The first cable up is at what time ?
Were you a party of two or more ?
Did you get a window seat ?

TIA

Hi wanderweg

That’s a great idea becz breakfast is included in our hotel package and just having a drink or dessert and enjoying the view for 30 mins would be perfect for us.

When you say afternoon, what time do you mean ?
After 3 pm ?
Basically everyone says go early so that you get great views. You think going late and still getting great views would work for the month of September ?

TIA

Hi Continental
That’s an awesome idea too !
I did not know that there is a restaurant a floor below Piz Gloria and you carry your own food there and just get a drink from the restaurant.
Thanks for letting me know.
What time did you go there and what was your starting point ?

TIA
