Weddings and celebrations

Whether you’re celebrating a company party, banquet or wedding, we have the perfect function room for you. Savor the regional, fresh cuisine together with your guests in the rustic Gasthaus Passhöhe restaurant, in the modern three-star superior hotel “Säntis – the hotel” on the Schwägalp pass, or on the Säntis summit in the middle of the Alpstein. Set menu or buffet – the choice is yours.

Our wedding packages

Our wedding packages ‘Säntis - the Hotel’ and ‘Panorama Restaurant’ offer you the opportunity to organise your special day entirely according to your wishes. Imagine sealing your love in the middle of the Alpstein on the summit of the Säntis, surrounded by breathtaking nature and the people who are close to your heart. After the touching free wedding ceremony, enjoy a refreshing aperitif with a view of the impressive landscape while the anticipation of the banquet grows.

The journey by cable car down to Schwägalp opens up another wonderful moment of togetherness and shared experience. An unforgettable wedding dinner awaits you in the large banqueting hall, which will not only impress you with its culinary delights but also its atmosphere. Here you can celebrate your love while you celebrate your wedding evening in a stylish ambience and with a touch of romance.

Enjoy the luxury of uniting all aspects of your wedding in one place while still having the option of having separate locations for the ceremony, aperitif and dinner. This makes every moment unique and unforgettable - a truly memorable and magical day.
