Ski vacations Saas-Fee - pearl of the Alps!

Saas-Fee

The run through the Saas Valley, with its deep ravines and steep mountain slopes, is very impressive. In the heart of the highest mountains in the Swiss Alps, the road winds up to the resort entrance at 1,800 m. Here you have to leave your own car behind and travel with the free local bus, an electric car or on foot to the resort. The former mountain farmer village at the foot of the “Dom” (4,545 m) has developed into a lively and yet traditional winter sports resort with tons of flair and a wide palette of shops and entertainment options.

From the village, you can take one of several gondolas directly into the ski area. The Saas Valley’s most famous lift, the standing cable car “Metro Alpin”, starts at approx. 3,000 m and brings you up to an altitude of 3,500 m in just a few minutes. There you can enjoy a fantastic view of the mountain panorama and, on a clear day, even see the lights of Milan, from the world’s highest rotating restaurant. A level lower you will also find the entrance to the 5,000 m² ice pavilion, which, with a constant temperature of -1°C, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of the centuries-old Fee Glacier.

In addition to skiing, you can take advantage of all sorts of options in Saas-Fee, e.g. open-air bars with loungers at the foot of the pistes or cosy and traditional restaurants in the resort centre, as well as a lively nightlife and various activities. This includes, for example, sunrise skiing, where early risers in particular get their money's worth. Enjoy breathtaking silence, virgin pistes and, on request, a rich breakfast with a colourful panorama.

Saastal

Framed by 18 four-thousand-metre peaks, the panorama of the Saas Valley is absolutely stunning! The lifts reach up to 3,573 m and open up a panorama of pistes with 146 km of all levels of difficulty. The famous "Metro Alpin", the highest underground funicular in the world, takes you under the glacier to the Mittelallalin, where a magnificent mountain backdrop awaits you. The ski area is also extremely attractive for international guests, as the Allalin Race, for example, takes place here. It is held at the end of the season and is the longest downhill race in the world, from 3,573 m down to the village at 1,800 m!

The four villages at the foot of the pistes are well connected by bus so that you can make the most of your ski day. Each village has its own flair: there are family-friendly and down-to-earth villages with cosy Valais chalet-style houses, or villages characterised by lively après-ski. You will find variety here in any case!
