Intro

Ascend above the clouds on the Säntis and the Schwägalp – and much more. This legendary mountain range provides some of Europe’s most stunning natural scenery, unique panoramic views over six countries and a whole host of things to see and do.

Säntis at a glance

The Säntis towers proudly over the Lake Constance region - The unforgettable journey by aerial cable car up the Säntis lasts ten wonderful minutes. Experience the fascinating natural landscape and soak up the panoramic views over six countries, Lake Constance and the Alps. The new interactive exhibition entitled “Säntis – der Wetterberg” (Säntis – the weather mountain) provides a fascinating insight into weather, weather phenomena and the 360° panorama. Marvel at the unique interactive exhibition and enjoy the superlative panoramic views from the summit trails and panorama terraces.

Gastronomy on the Säntis - Dine at the new terrace restaurant featuring a design dominated by wood and stone and feast your eyes on the unique mountain panorama. As well as serving a delicious range of fresh, regional dishes, the restaurant puts on a unique programme of events, including romantic full-moon excursions, dinner events, impressive sunrise excursions and a host of attractive package offers.

Hiking in the Nature Discovery Park / enjoying nature - The Säntis lies at the heart of an extensive network of hiking trails and is the perfect place to enjoy a walk or hike through this very traditional region of Switzerland. The network of hiking trails on the Schwägalp is maintained even in winter, inviting hikers to explore their very own winter wonderland.

Anyone setting out on a hike on the Säntis should make sure they have suitable equipment and a good head for heights. Sure-footed mountain hikers love the Lisegrat, a route secured by steel cables leading to the Rotstein pass. Another equally picturesque path leads to the Schäfler mountain inn and continues to the Ebenalp.

Even on the steep western side of the mountain, there are Alpine paths for those with a head for heights, including one to the Tierwis mountain inn – accessible from the 2nd pillar of the Säntis aerial cable car.
