Have you ever dreamed of standing on a four-thousand-metre peak?
The Allalinhorn makes it possible! The summit (4027 m.a.s.l.) is considered one of the most impressive mountains in the Saas Valley and is absolutely suitable for budding summiters. With the company of a mountain guide and in good weather, you can climb the Allalinhorn relatively "easily" with a bit of stamina and good surefootedness. It remains a 4000m peak - caution and respect are still the highest commands on the mountain.
What exactly is the tour like?
The day before
Already the day before the ascent, contact the mountain guides. They would like to get to know you briefly before the tour to discuss the most important things with you.
On the day of the ascent
At 8:00 a.m., you arrive at the "Alpin Express" station. You can exchange your "MetroAlpin" voucher for a mountain cable car ticket.
At 8:15 a.m., the mountain guides will join you at the latest.
At 8:45 a.m., you reach the Mittelallalin station (3457 m.a.s.l.) with the MetroAlpin, the world's highest funicular.
And then it's off to the ascent 💪
The ascent
The ascent is via the Feejoch route (3807 m above sea level). You will cross snowfields, glaciers and short stretches of rock. Within about two hours, you reach the majestic Allalinhorn with a mountain guide. You don't have to climb. The path leads from the world's highest revolving restaurant to the 500-metre-higher summit via an easily accessible path and has only one ladder you have to conquer.
On the summit
Enjoy the fantastic view! You have done a great job! Take pictures! Let yourself be celebrated! Be proud of yourself!
The descent
You must also allow at least two hours for the descent. However, you will be able to relax and enjoy yourself after the mountain tour. In the world's highest revolving restaurant, you can enjoy Swiss and Valaisian specialities while enjoying a 360° view of the surrounding mountains. A hunter's tea on the terrace in front of the revolving restaurant is also highly recommended.
Overnight stay in the Saas Valley
Finish off your mountain experience with an overnight stay in Saas-Fee - the glacier village. The Saas Valley offers more than 500 overnight accommodation possibilities. Whether you want to stay in a mountain hut or a luxurious 5-star hotel with an all-around wellness package, there is something for everyone.
"I have always admired the Allalin from the village. The ascent of the mountain and the subsequent rewarding views of the surrounding giants such as the Matterhorn and the Mont Blanc have given me a new perspective on our mountain world that I will not soon forget.
