You don&#8217;t need to do it all. Sometimes a bench, a view, and a cold drink at the top of a mountain is the whole point.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re staying at Chalet Dahai, the cable car is practically on your doorstep. Go up for a lazy morning. Go up just because the gondola is there and the view is spectacular. You won&#8217;t regret it! Not to forget, from the balcony you can see the via ferret trail and the cable car going up, so you might as well give it a try while you&#8217;re there!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-67e3261 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"67e3261\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chaletdahai.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IMG_7906-1024x768.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2233\" alt=\"Toddler being carried in a backpack to go to the Allmenalp cable car in Kandersteg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chaletdahai.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IMG_7906-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.chaletdahai.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IMG_7906-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.chaletdahai.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IMG_7906-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.chaletdahai.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IMG_7906-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.chaletdahai.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IMG_7906-16x12.jpeg 16w, https:\/\/www.chaletdahai.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IMG_7906.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"  title=\"A Morning on the Allmenalp \u2014 No Big Hike Required\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e8a16d9 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"e8a16d9\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-17da0c3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"17da0c3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Allmenalp Quick Info<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6791e66 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6791e66\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>\u00a0Cable car:<\/strong> Luftseilbahn Kandersteg-Allmenalp, Allmenbahnstrasse 23<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hours:<\/strong> 08:30\u201318:00 (May 9\u2013Aug 30) \/ 08:30\u201317:00 (Aug 31\u2013Oct 25)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prices:<\/strong> Adults CHF 24 return \u00b7 Children 6\u201315 CHF 12 return \u00b7 Under 6 free<\/p>\n<p><strong>Allmen-Beizli restaurant:<\/strong> open Jun\u2013Sep, approx. 10:00\u201317:00, cash only<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/allmenalp.ch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">allmenalp.ch<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"http:\/\/allmen-alp.ch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">allmen-alp.ch<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You don&#8217;t need a plan, a packed lunch, or even decent weather.
