Alpin Express Gondola (Saas-Fee)

The Alpin Express is a key gondola system located in Saas-Fee, providing direct and rapid access to the high-alpine skiing and hiking areas, including the Felskinn and the connecting Metro Alpin funicular to Mittelallalin (3,500m). This modern, high-capacity gondola is crucial for accessing the main ski slopes of Saas-Fee in winter and the glacier hiking trails and revolving restaurant in summer. It has a significant carrying capacity, transporting thousands of passengers per hour, and covers a substantial vertical ascent quickly. Operating hours typically align with the ski area (e.g., 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM) and are subject to weather conditions. While not directly in Saas-Almagell, it is the primary lift used by guests staying in Almagell to access the premier Saas-Fee experiences. Ticket prices are covered by the Saas Valley Ski Pass or available for single/return journeys.
