007 ELEMENTS is located in its own specifically designed building inside the Gaislachkogl. The building extends over an area of 1300 m² across two floors and is situated directly alongside the ice Q Restaurant, the location of the Hoffler Klinik in Spectre where James Bond met Madeleine Swann for the first time and the spectacular pursuit in the film begins.

James Bond – 007 ELEMENTS & "SPECTRE"
Sölden combines sports, action and enjoyment at the highest level plus snow reliability from October through May. In face of this variety, even James Bond shows himself shaken and stirred – in the Hollywood blockbuster ‘Spectre’, for which the coolest action scenes were shot in Sölden and in the unique James Bond cinematic installation 007 ELEMENTS. Bond and the Mountains, an almost traditional alliance.

Facts & figures about 007 ELEMENTS
Behind the scenes
Cable Car Company Sölden has constructed a building spanning 1300 m² over two floors for 007 ELEMENTS on the summit of the Gaislachkogl – working in conjunction with renowned architect Johann Obermoser and inspired by the visionary work of James Bond Production Designer, Sir Ken Adam. In charge of the design and development are Creative Director Neal Callow – the Art Director on the James Bond films Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, Skyfall and Spectre – along with American creative agency Optimist Inc., who have already implemented impressive projects for Google, Facebook and Nike.
Neal Callow
James Bond Art Director
“Our aim with 007 ELEMENTS was to provide an immersive insight into the making of an original Bond film. We achieved it in an ultra-modern, multi-sensory and highly engaging way,” explains Callow. “We want to use this fantastic site to transport guests directly into Bond’s action-packed world, creating unique and immersive sequences brought to life.”
Jakob Falkner
CEO Cable Car Company Sölden
“We are delighted to be working with EON Productions and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer to bring Bond back to Sölden – by creating a genuinely unique experience in the heart of Tyrol. Along with the many exciting and diverse activities already on offer in our area, this installation will enhance Sölden’s positioning as an all-year-round destination for sports and entertainment.”

The story of the 007 shoot in Sölden
James Bond SPECTRE
Even Daniel Craig as Agent 007 couldn’t resist: Spectacular locations paired with a unique mountain panorama and snow guarantee. Reason enough for producer Sam Mendes to choose Sölden as one of the top film locations and ‘fantastic places’ for the SPECTRE James Bond adventure.
007 shooting location ice Q
The ice Q restaurant and Agent 007 filming spot on Gaislachkogl might be quite as legendary as James Bond himself. The gourmet restaurant opened in 2013, ranks among the most spectacular Alpine buildings due to its location at 3048 meters above sea level. Characterized by its purist architecture, the 900 m² glass facades are glittering in the bright sunshine, overlooking the breathtaking scenery of the Ötztal Alps. „It‘s almost surrealistic, it resembles a painting,“ stated actor Dave Bautista when he first arrived on top of the peak. The ice Q glass cube plays an important role in the movie. Not as a gourmet temple but as a futurist hospital where villain Christoph Waltz pursues his devilish plans… Also the peak of Gaislachkogl is one of the photo call spots in the „Spectre“ movie.

How big was the entire film team?
- During peak times, there was a huge film team of up to 600 people working on the movie shooting in Sölden.
A great honor for Sölden
The decision to take film scenes in Sölden for the first „Winter Bond“ after many years, is a great honor and distinction for the holiday resort. On occasion of the international movie shooting start producer Sam Mendes announced the following in front of the international press: „We are taking Bond back to the Alps, to the snow again, in Sölden in Austria.“ The first „behind the scenes“ video released by Sony Pictures focused almost entirely on the movie shooting in Sölden. Right at the start Bond Girl Léa Seydoux officially declared: „We are in Austria in a beautiful place called Sölden.“ The video was clicked on YouTube millions of times within only a few weeks – months before the official film premiere. In the course of several press statements, Sölden was mentioned as one of the main movie shooting locations.
