Piz Gloria cable car breaks down leaving 400 stranded
Four hundred people were left stranded on the mountain used in On Her Majestys Secret Service when a cable car broke down. Helicopters were used on Thursday to airlift the visitors from a nearby ridge to safety.
The helicopter transports began about 11:30 GMT, with all 400 tourists transported safely to Muerren by 1500 GMT, Schilthorn AG spokesman Ruedi Bravand said.
George Lazenby had a harder time getting off the mountain.
