Adjusted timetable for the BLS Car Transport serviceKandersteg–Goppenstein

Over the course of four years, BLS is replacing the tracksof the Lötschberg Summit Tunnel, thereby ensuring that the Mittelland and Valais remain directly connected with one another. The construction work particularly affects the BLS Lötschberg Car Transport service. We will continuously announce all timetable adjustments at bls.ch/autoverlad-loetschberg.

The benefits of the track replacement: – We provide convenience. Aligning the tracks more precisely will cause fewer vibrations and make the journey noticeably smoother.

– By renewing the track, BLS is safeguarding transport opera-tions in the Lötschberg Summit Tunnel in the long term.

The key facts at a glance: – Construction start: 20 August 2018 – Commissioning: End of 2022 – To minimise the impact on Car Transport service customers as much as possible, BLS will carry out the construction work in phases while continuing its rail operations.

You can find the current

ture land, playground and the Hohsaas fun slope. Snow-groomed hiking trails and the toboggan run to Saas-Grund guarantee an unforgettable winter’s day.

Furggstalden, Saas-Almagell(1,893 m above sea level)Far away from the everyday grind, you can take a hike through historic hamlets and a magical winter landscape above Saas-Almagell. Round this off by tobogganing back down to the village.

Heidbodmen, Saas-Almagell(2,400 m above sea level)Relish an enchanting moun-tain backdrop with a lovely panoramic view of the Mischa-bel massif and the Monte-Ro-sa massif.

DAY TRIP DESTINATIONS

Britanniahütte, Saas-Fee(3,030 m above sea level)Erected in 1912 by British members of the Swiss club of the alps (Schweizer Al-pen-Club SAC), it is one of the most visited SAC huts in the Alps and serves as a starting point for the Haute Route and other high Alpine tours. Hiking time from Felskinn mountain station is approx. 90 min.

Please note: The Britanniahütte is open from March. You can get information about the ex-act opening times in ad-vance from the mountain hut attendant or in the Tour-ist Information Centres (p. 6/7).

Hannig, Saas-Fee (2,336 m above sea level)Enjoy yourself in the restau-rant and soak up the sun on Saas-Fee's sun mountain. Who knows, with a little luck, you may see some of the local wild animals on the rock face. You can descend on foot or by sledge.

Längfluh, Saas-Fee (2,870 m above sea level)On Längfluh you are closer to the glacier than anywhere else. The high glacier break-offs are fascinating and the highest mountains in Switzer-land majestically tower over them.

Mittelallalin, Saas-Fee (3,500 above sea level)The highest located revolv-ing restaurant in the world, the world’s highest metro and the world’s largest ice pavilion in one go. No question: The Mittelallalin is the hallmark of Saas-Fee and an essen-tial part of your holiday plan. Opening times can be found on the Metro Alpin timetable (p. 24/25).

Plattjen, Saas-Fee (2,570 m above sea level)The modern six-seater gondo-la cableway leads you into the Plattjen region and the nearby observation point that gives you a wonderful view of the Mattmark reservoir and the Mischabel massif.

Spielboden, Saas-Fee (2,448 m above sea level)Enjoy culinary delights at 2,448 m above sea level, while Saas-Fee is lying at your feet.

Felskinn, Saas-Fee (3,000 m above sea level)The Felskinnbahn cableway – immortalised in the video of the international hit ‘Last Christmas’ by Wham! – brings you directly to the Felskinn (3,000 m above sea level), where perfectly pre-pared pistes lead to the Morenia ski region. But Felskinn is also the starting point for impressive hiking tours such as over the Fee and Chessjen glaciers to the Britanniahütte.

Please note: All day trip destinations are displayed on the piste map. This can be found in the cen-tre pages of the leaflet and in all Tourist Information Centres of the Free Republic of Holidays Saas-Fee as well as at all desti-nation Bergbahnen (cableways).

Hohsaas, Saas-Grund (3,200 m above sea level)We have a high alpine panora-ma with a view of 18 moun-tains that are 4,000 metres above sea level or more. En-joy it on a snowshoe tour, a ski tour or on the walk along the themed route ‘18 four-thou-sanders’.
