Introduced in the 1963 James Bond novel On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Piz Gloria was a mountain peak located in the Languard range, somewhere above Pontresina in the Engadine, at an altitude of approximately 10,000 feet. The Alp was leased by Ernst Stavro Blofeld (operating under the alias Comte Balthazar de Bleuchamp). Situated atop the peak were a group of four buildings; a long, low building, a chalet type structure with a vast veranda, a cable-car railhead, and a fourth partially-concealed building. The peak was primarily home to the Institut für physiologische Forschung (English: Institute for Physiological Research). Ostensibly an allergy research clinic, the Institut was actually a laboratory researching methods of biological warfare. In addition to the clinic, Blofeld had constr

Ostensibly an allergy research clinic, the Institut was actually a laboratory researching methods of biological warfare. In addition to the clinic, Blofeld had constructed a cable railway on mortgage (Bond estimates to have cost in excess of one million sterling), with the assistance of the local district council. Its first year operating, the railway brought in additional funds via the provided ski runs (Irma Bunt claims that the Gloria Abfahrt is already famous) and a bob-sleigh run comparable to the Cresta at St Moritz.
