Getting there
The ten-minute cable car ride from the lower station to the summit of Mount Säntis feels very much like floating
Experience
Sure-footed and vertigo-free hikers are in for a treat on Mount Säntis: the Lisen Ridge Trail (Lisengrat) between Mount Säntis and Rotsteinpass includes cragged mountain paths and steep descents secured with steel cables. Summiteers will appreciate the adrenaline rush! However, we recommend that beginners bring their climbing gear.
Walk to the Edelweiss bench
Take a break on a nearby wooden aircraft seat: the Edelweiss bench is located on the terrace by the Säntis mountain station.
