Mountain, cable car and hotel

State-of-the-art infrastructure surrounded by stunning Alpine scenery.

When the Säntis cable car opened back in 1935, who would have thought that it would be a success story? Today, the lift can carry not just 35, but 85 people per cabin. A lot has also changed on the summit since then: two contemporary restaurants and interactive experiences are now open to around 400,000 guests each year. The three-star superior hotel “Säntis – the hotel” was opened in 2015, bringing 68 hotel rooms, a spa area and seminar rooms under one roof. What hasn’t changed is the extraordinary natural scenery, and we take great care of it.

Working at our modern company

With passion and pride for their work, the approximately 180 employees of our tourism company ensure that our guests enjoy a unique mountain experience each day. Whether on the cable car, in the hotel or in one of the three restaurants – there’s something different for them to do every day.

The Säntis team

Talented and passionate employees are what makes a company successful. For us, commitment, empathy and expertise are the keys to our development. Our services form the foundation of our success and meet the needs and desires of today’s society – exceptional hospitality right on nature’s doorstep, surrounded by extraordinary scenery.
