UP TO THE SUMMIT
At 2,502 metres above sea level, Mount Säntis is the highest summit in the Alpstein massif and the most important landmark of our region. During and after your hiking tour you can enjoy the unique world of the mountains and its views. The rigorous climb up the mountain is rewarded with a breathtaking panoramic view.
On the summit, a large sun terrace, panoramic restaurants boasting unique views and the nature experience world with exciting exhibitions await the weary hiker. The Säntisbahn cable car takes visitors back down to the valley in comfort.
Important information: Please enquire at Säntisbahn about the current conditions on the mountain before commencing your hike.
