The Schilthorn is a mountain in the Bernese Alps of Switzerland, Europe. The summit overlooks the valley of Lauterbrunnen in the Bernese Oberland, and is the highest mountain in the range lying north of the Sefinenfurgge Pass. The Schilthorn lies above the village of Mürren, from where a cable car leads to its summit, holding the record of the steepest cable car in the world.
Administratively, the summit is within the municipality of Lauterbrunnen, although the western slopes are within the municipality of Reichenbach im Kandertal. Both municipalities are in the canton of Bern.
Inferno races
During the winter, the Schilthorn is the traditional start for the world's longest downhill ski race, the "Inferno," which started in 1928. It is the largest amateur alpine ski race in the world.
During the summer, the Inferno Triathlon finishes at the summit after a run up from the Lauterbrunnen valley.
History
In 2024 a multi year program to replace the cable car system began. The project included construction of a new cable car directly from Stechelberg to Mürren bypassing Gimmelwald. The new Stechelberg - Mürren segment opened in 2024 and holds the record of the steepest cable car in the world, with a gradient of 159.4%.
