Editing Schilthorn (section)

== Access ==
To get to the Schilthorn from the valley floor, a series of [[aerial tramway|cable cars]] must be taken. The cable cars begin in [[Stechelberg]] leaving to [[Gimmelwald]] and then onto Mürren. Since its renovation in 2024, it holds the record of the steepest cable car in the world, with a gradient of 159.4%.<ref name=":0" />

From Mürren another cable car is taken to [[Birg (Bernese Alps)|Birg]], which is the final change before the Schilthorn. This cable airway is the longest and was the most technically challenging airway to be built. The other way up is to take the cable car from Lauterbrunnen to Grütschalp and a train to Mürren, from where the cable car must be taken. Between Birg and the summit, the cable car passes over Grauseeli, a small lake.

It is also possible to hike to the peak, along the myriad of small, but well-marked paths to the top. The hike to the top takes roughly five hours from Gimmelwald for a fit walker.
