Mittelallalin & Ice Pavilion
Mittelallalin
At 3,456 m above Saas-Fee, reached directly by the world's highest underground cable railway. It features a revolving restaurant and an ice grotto in the glacier.
From Saas-Fee, take the cable car to Felskinn, then transfer to the Metro Alpin underground cable railway to reach Mittelallalin, a trip of about 25 minutes. The revolving restaurant here makes one full turn about every hour, offering views of the Allalinhorn, Dom and other snowy peaks. The Eispavillon is an ice grotto carved inside the glacier that shows its structure. In summer, this is one of the few places in Europe where you can ski on a glacier. The high altitude means thin air, so move slowly and protect yourself from the sun.
Opening hours
Follows cable car operations, approx. 08:30–16:00
