Mittelallalin, Mountain summit at Valais, Switzerland

Mittelallalin rises to 3457 meters in elevation, featuring steep slopes and permanent snow fields across its rocky alpine terrain near Saas-Fee.

The construction of the Metro Alpin funicular railway in 1984 transformed Mittelallalin into an accessible winter sports destination for visitors.

The mountain station houses the highest revolving restaurant in the world, serving traditional Swiss alpine cuisine while offering panoramic mountain views.

Visitors can reach the summit through a combination of gondola, cable car, and the Metro Alpin funicular from the base station in Saas-Fee.

The mountain contains the world's largest ice grotto, featuring naturally formed ice tunnels and chambers maintained at temperatures below freezing.
