About this experience
The Goldfinger James Bond movie, 1964, filming location takes you along Lake Thun and Lake Brienz, with Mr. NoName Waterfall visible in the distance. Walk on a hydro dam, stop at Grimsel Pass 2164 meters, and explore Furka Pass, 2429 meters, known for its approximately 20 hairpin curves. See the famous Belvedere Hotel and its winding curves. Marvel at dramatic abysses, road construction, and mountains reaching the heavens. No matter the weather, it is a fun adventure with multiple topics along the way to keep you engaged and wondering. Enjoy a private tour with an expert guide who knows the area in detail. During early summer, you might encounter leftover snow from winter. On hot summer days, excellent escape from heat due to high alpine elevations. Dry and clear days offer far reaching views. On stormy days, it’s a powerful display of nature’s might. All this in a private setting, offering excellent value for money.
