    Yelp Review 2026 #122:…read more A fun thing to do and an amazing place to visit. I got with a discount for being a Swiss Travel Pass holder. The bus stop is right in front of this place so it's super easy to get to. I got here a few minutes after they opened. So, there were quite a few people without being crowded. Except some of the people who were there were obnoxiously loud and it echoes through the cave. There are signs posted to be quiet but some people choose to ignore signs. There are parts that are a bit slick, some parts you have to bend a little bit as the ceiling is low, there are steps and stairs, it's chilly since it's a cave. Si, be sure to bring a jacket and wear the right shoes. Be mindful of those with mobility issues, they might have to wait for you at the restaurant (it's still a steep trek though) while you tour the cave. A lot of people would take breaks on the way to the entrance. Bring water. Each part of the cave is numbered so just follow the numbers - however the arrows can be confusing. I got to number 18 and didn't know where to go I ended going back to where I came from so I walked back to 18, walked the opposite direction and made it to 19-22 before exiting. "According to a legend, St. Beatus lived here in the 2nd century, who was believed to be one of the Irish messengers of the faith. After his arrival, Beatus is said to have driven away the dragon dwelling in the cave and then settled there to preach the teachings of Christianity and heal the sick." You'll see St. Beatus' cell, stalactites, stalagmites, and grottoes. You can have a nice view of Lake Thun from here.

    WOOOOW! Absolutely incredible experience. The caves themselves are stunning. They were full of…read morebeautiful grottos, unique rock formations, and breathtaking scenery throughout. The views from the top and outside are truly magical, overlooking a massive lake that makes the entire visit feel surreal. QUICK heads-up... there is quite a bit of walking and many steps, and some areas can be slippery, so it may not be ideal for anyone with limited mobility. That said, if you're able to do the walk, it's 100% worth it. A truly beautiful and memorable experience.

    Now here is a chance for a truly unique experience. High up in the mountains, I mean really high,…read moreis this restaurant that not only revolves, but also serves up some very good food. They offer a buffet but we instead all ordered off the menu. It looked like most people in the restaurant went with the buffet. We had trouble deciding and had turned our server away twice, and it was too long before we were able to order once we had decided. Finally we succeeded in getting a server and I was able to order their Schilthorn Platter, one of those sliced meats and some cheese boards. Loved it, love the European sliced meats. After eating while watching the slowly spinning wonderful views we took the cable car back down, that was nice.

    Schiltorn is one of the highlights of visiting Switzerland. The cable car ride alone is incredible,…read morewith nonstop panoramic views of the Alps that only get better as you go higher. Once at the top, the 360° views are jaw-dropping -- snow-capped peaks in every direction, including the famous Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau. The attractions at the summit, including the James Bond-themed elements, add a fun and unique touch without taking away from the natural beauty. Dress warmly, even in summer. There was a long line. We decided not to eat at Piz Gloria, to manage our time with sightseeing. But we were able to get in the restaurant and wander around inside to see the food they serve and the views all around without any issue. Half thrill walk was closed due to construction - disappointing.

    Want to step back into medieval times? Then definitely check out the Château de La Bâtiaz. This…read moreis a 13th Century medieval castle built as a fortress, not a residence, in order to protect the neighboring area. No fancy royal balls were thrown here, the only thing thrown here most likely were large objects from a catapult. From Martigny, you need to walk across the river, out of town, and up into the cliffs. It's a short trek, but worth it. Check out the website for information on visiting times. We went during the off season, but were lucky to catch a demonstration of one of the many catapults they have on display in the courtyard as you enter the castle. There is supposed to be a display of torture devices, and while there were a few, I think that either it was shut down for the season, as we went through the turn style without having to pay, or, it was under renovation. We climbed up the tower (which it appears you typically have to pay for, but for some reason there was no ability to pay - you just walked up at the time), and from the top of the tower is a great view of the region. Also, one of the special surprises was that there is a medieval tavern on site. The food was really good! They also appear to put on shows at the castle during the open season. I would definitely go back.

    Very original and good medieval food and service :)read more
