Piz Gloria, Schilthorn, landmark building, Switzerland, 1950s
- Piz Gloria is the name of the revolving restaurant on the Schilthorn near M?rren in the Bernese Oberland, Switzerland. The aerial tramway station and the restaurant were built by a Bernese architect, Konrad Wolf. The restaurant claims to be the world's first revolving restaurant. The world's highest revolving restaurant is the Metro-Alpin at 3500m at the top of the Saas-Fee gondola lift. The Piz Gloria at the top of the Schilthorn above Muerren lies at 2970m. Switzerland has a third, and newer, revolving restaurant above Leysin in canton Vaud called Le Kuklos.
