The Eiger Sanction
1975
“The 1975 movie The Eiger Sanction (starring Clint Eastwood) featured the Hotel Bellevue des Alpes at Kleine Scheidegg as the film location where the group of climbers stayed during their attempt on the summit of the Eiger.” Wikipedia
Named here by Grindelwald’s own Wikipedia article
Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Grindelwald, where neither Wikidata nor the production’s own article records it. That is the weakest evidence on this atlas, so these get no pin on the map and stay out of the downloads — the sentence is quoted in full below each one so you can judge it.
