The mountain is welcoming you.

It is the impressive landmark of the region: Säntis. At 2502 metres above sea level, it towers magnificently above one of the most beautiful natural landscapes in Europe. Feel the magical atmosphere here, the relaxing peace and the natural power of Alpine nature – whether on a hike through the stunning NaturErlebnispark or on the peak with the breathtaking panorama.

Our website is currently only in German, but will shortly also be available in English. Until then, you can find below the most important information on our cable car, the hotel, our restaurants and the leisure activities available. Please don't hesitate to contact our team if you have any other requests or wishes – they provide an unforgettable peak experience!

Otherwise have a look in our leaflet.
