Piz Gloria is the name of the revolving restaurant at the 2,970 m -high summit of the Schilthorn near Mürren in the Bernese Oberland, Switzerland.
The cable car station and the restaurant were designed by Bernese architect Konrad Wolf. The Piz Gloria restaurant claims to be the world's first revolving restaurant although others already existed at the time of Piz Gloria's 1969 opening, such as the Space Needle in Seattle, Washington, United States, which opened during the 1962 World's Fair.
Given the difficult topographic and climatic conditions, parts had to be prefabricated. The outer skin of the circular upper floor is of aluminium-cladded wooden panels. The roof originally was bare aluminium, but has since been coated. The rotative mechanism — a 12-metre-diameter core with a 3.0-metre annulus that completely rotates the upper floor in approximately an hour — allows every guest to have a view in turn. In 1990, the restaurant was enlarged to accommodate some 400 diners, while retaining its original architectural character.
