Tyrol
Tyrol is the Austrian heart of the Alps, with glaciers, cable cars and ski villages. The series has used Sölden’s glacier road, a glass-walled mountain-top restaurant and the quiet villages of East Tyrol.
Base yourself in Sölden and take the cable car to the Gaislachkogel summit.

1Ice Q and Gaislachkogel
Sölden, Tyrol
The glass-walled Ice Q restaurant on the Gaislachkogel, at about 3,048 metres, stood in for the Hoffler Klinik, a private clinic in the Alps. Filming happened in early 2015, with some scenes completed in London using a replica and digital extension.
- Scenes
- The Hoffler Klinik, with the cable car and mountain-top action.
- Today
- A working restaurant reached by the Gaislachkogel cable car, next to the Bond-themed 007 Elements attraction.
- Visiting
- Take the cable car from Sölden; book a table at Ice Q in advance.
2Kartitsch
East Tyrol
Kartitsch is a neighbouring East Tyrol village that local and fan sources associate with the Obertilliach shoot. Its connection to specific scenes is not well documented, so treat it as a reported location.
- Scenes
- Reported support filming around the East Tyrol chase (fan-sourced).
- Today
- A quiet Alpine village in the Lesachtal-Gailtal area.
- Visiting
- Combine with a trip to Obertilliach; check with the local tourist office.
3Obertilliach
East Tyrol
The village of Obertilliach in East Tyrol hosted several filming locations, including the historic village centre and the chase’s finale at the Golzentipp ski area. Extra snow was added to make the village look deep in winter.
- Scenes
- The end of the plane chase and the wooden Bond House.
- Today
- A small ski and biathlon village; most film structures were removed.
- Visiting
- Best in winter for the Golzentipp ski area, or in summer for walking.
4Ötztal Glacier Road
Sölden, Tyrol
The glacier road to the Rettenbach glacier was opened specially in winter for the car-and-plane chase, which used a fleet of Range Rovers and two Britten-Norman Islander planes.
- Scenes
- The snowy chase between Bond and Hinx, with a plane losing its wings.
- Today
- A high alpine toll road open in the warmer months, running beside the ski area.
- Visiting
- Drive or take a bus in summer; check status and tolls locally.
