Dining

Wholesome, down-to-earth, regional and fresh: this is what characterizes the dishes served by our three restaurants on the Säntis and the Schwägalp pass. The Gasthaus Passhöhe restaurant, the Schwägalp restaurant and the Säntisgipfel restaurant will cater for your every need. Enjoy our traditional Swiss cuisine with Appenzell and Toggenburg specialties, as well as international dishes.

Schwägalp restaurant

Visit the modern restaurant at the foot of the Säntis with its wonderful sun terrace.

Säntisgipfel restaurant

While our suspension railway is in operation, we welcome you daily to our terrace restaurant at 2,502 metres above sea level. For larger events and groups with reservations, we are also happy to open our panorama restaurant.

Passhöhe restaurant

This idyllic inn with its rustic Arvenstübli restaurant is located on the Schwägalp and invites you to linger in its cosy atmosphere.

Banquets

Stop by and say hello. We’d be happy to show you our Venues and the various possibilities available to you on the Schwägalp pass and the Säntis.
