Prayer times in Saanen — common questions

What time is Fajr in Saanen today?

Fajr in Saanen begins at 04:06 AM today. Fajr starts at true dawn, when the sun reaches a set angle below the horizon, and ends at sunrise — so this time shifts by a minute or two each day as the season changes.

Which direction is the Qibla from Saanen?

From Saanen, the Qibla is 122.4° from true north — roughly ESE. Remember that a phone compass points to magnetic north, so you may need to correct for local magnetic declination.

Which calculation method is used for Saanen?

These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Switzerland. If your mosque follows a different authority, its Fajr and Isha may differ by several minutes — the calculation is identical, only the twilight angle changes.

How far is Saanen from Makkah?

Saanen lies approximately 4046 km from the Kaaba in Makkah, measured as a great circle across the Earth's surface. That distance is what determines the Qibla bearing shown above.

How much does daylight change through the year in Saanen?

Day length in Saanen ranges from about 8.6 hours at midwinter to 15.8 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 7.2 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.
