Saas Fee

Saas-Fee enjoys a dramatic setting surrounded by the highest peaks in Switzerland. It has the advantage of being virtually car-free but is still easily accessible by postbus or car, with guests transferred to their hotels by electric carts. This charming and picturesque resort features many narrow streets and chalet-style buildings. You could be forgiven for thinking that this is a
sleepy resort however the compact centre bustles with life during the twilight hours with plenty of eating and drinking places on offer.

Saas-Fee features three different ski areas offering over 100km of high altitude pistes. The glacier ski area, which culminates in the world's highest revolving restaurant, the Allalin at 3500m, ensures that skiing will be possible throughout the winter and beyond. Skiing is almost exclusively above the tree line with snow virtually guaranteed even lower down well into April.

Permanent snow cannons on the lower slopes enable skiers to return to the village right the way through the season. While beginners are well served by extensive nursery slopes on the edge of the village, early intermediates will find lots of
wide cruising runs to gain confidence and advanced skiers will enjoy the challenging, steep runs beneath Felskinn. In addition to the pistes, two half-pipes above the Morenia make Saas-Fee a popular choice for snowboarders.

Non-skiers will appreciate a whole mountain, the Hannig, dedicated to winter walking, tobogganing and paragliding - no skiers or boarders allowed! Plus the village offers a great leisure centre with indoor pool, an ice rink and lots of winter activities.
