The Mittelallalin (3456 m) is a minor summit below the Allalinhorn situated above Saas Fee. This place is well known for the revolving restaurant which is the highest in the world and a glacier cave.
Mittelallalin can be reached easily with a cable car from Saas Fee to the Felskinn intermediate station and finally to the top with the Metro Alpin, the highest funicular in the world.
The Mittelallalin is also an all year round ski area (between 1,800 and 3,600 m in winter, Fee Glacier in summer). From there the ascent of Allalinhorn (4,027 m) is very popular and can be done in just two hours.
