Saas Fee

At an altitude of 1800m with skiing up to 3,600m and over 140km of skiing in the Saas Valley,  Saas Fee is one of the most snow-sure resorts in the Alps.

Known as The Pearl of the Alps, this ancient glacier village is surrounded by 18 4,000-metre snow capped peaks, including Switzerland's highest mountain, the Dom.  With an extensive and varied selection of ski runs, there's something to suit everyone, from first-timers to the most advanced off-piste enthusiasts. In addition to skiing and snowboarding, there are plenty of other winter sports on offer here too, including curling, ice climbing, and sledging; indeed the whole Hannig Mountain and its gondola is set aside for tobogganers, winter walkers, cross-country skiers and snowshoers.

Saas-Fee caters for all ages and abilities. Families will appreciate the friendly atmosphere and the fantastic, large beginners’ area in the village centre. In and around Saas-Fee itself the blue and red runs are ideal for beginner and intermediate skiers and boarders. For those looking for more of a challenge, the ski areas of Saas-Grund and Saas-Allmagell, further down the valley, are included in the excellent Saas-Fee ski network. Snowboarders and freestyle skiers will find their own little paradise in the Freestyle Park at the Mittelallalin with a half-pipe, kickers and rails.  To keep you occupied off the slopes, there's the state of the art Aqua Allalin pool and spa complex, the Feeblitz bobsleigh rollercoaster, Ice Pavilion and Saaser Museum.
