The Mittelallalin 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 by 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.[1]
The Mittelallalin is also an all year round ski area (between 1800and in winter, Fee Glacier in summer). From there the ascent of Allalinhorn is very popular and can be done in just two hours.
