Value-added guest card
With the SaastalCard you are stress-free and mobile in summer and autumn!
From your first overnight stay, you will receive the SaastalCard, which allows you to use cable cars (except Metro Alpin) and the Postbus in the Saas Valley free of charge during your stay (plus optional arrival or departure day)! You also benefit from up to 30% discount on numerous activities.
Cable cars included
During your stay - and optionally on the day of arrival or departure - you can use cable cars free of charge (excl. Metro Alpin).
Example:
1 night = 1 day cable cars included
3 nights = 3 days cable cars included
Dogs are not included and pay a quarter of the adult rate (Saas-Almagell and Saas-Fee) or CHF 5 per day and CHF 25 per week (Saas-Grund) from a height of 30 cm.
The SaastalCard is valid on the mountain railways for pedestrians until 30 november.
Please note the timetables of the cable cars
Metro Plus Ticket
The SaastalCard or Magic Pass entitles you to purchase the Metro Plus ticket (pedestrian ticket Felskinn - Mittelallalin). If you have the SaastalCard, you can use the Metro Alpin for CHF 45.- (children 6-16 years CHF 38.-) during your stay.
If you have a Magic Pass but no SaastalCard, you can use the Metro Plus Ticket only once for the same price.
The Metro Plus ticket includes admission to the Ice Cave Allalin.
For guests holding the SaastalCard AND Magic Pass, the Saastal Bergbahnen offers a reduction on the Metro Plus ticket of CHF 5 for adults and CHF 3 for children. For the drop, you must show both cards at the ticket office.
