The general case, not just today
Is Schilthorn worth it in cloudy or bad weather?
A mixed choice: Piz Gloria and the Bond exhibition provide indoor interest, but a trip made mainly for the revolving panorama is better with a view.
The revolving restaurant and Bond exhibition give Schilthorn an indoor fallback. Whether that justifies the ascent is a personal value judgement: a restaurant inside cloud is still a restaurant, but it cannot deliver the surrounding mountain scenery.
At 2,970 m the summit can clear a shallow cloud layer, yet a deeper layer can obscure it. Read the summit forecast as an estimate, not confirmation of sunshine. Transport, exhibitions and dining can have separate availability or charges; check the details for your visit.
