Saas-Fee tourist information & hotel reservations.

We warmly welcome you to visit Saas Fee and wish you a wonderful vacation.

Saas Fee is a high village in the Alps, located at 1 800 – 3 600 meters elevation. You can reach it by bus from Visp and from it you can see some of the most amazing views, including some huge glaciers. The resort has its old-time look with narrow streets and wooden houses decorated with geranium. There are many trails suitable for hiking through hills, lush meadows and high looking spots. If you are not into walking you can take a cable car to some of the surrounding peaks. You can also use the Metro Alpine – the highest underground funicular in the world, from Saas-Fee to some magnificent mountain tops with trails back to the village. In the resort you will also find comfortable hotels, bars and diners, as well as mild, south climate. If you are looking for adventures you can visit the huge ice cave at about 3 300 meters elevation.
In Saas-Fee you can also practice skiing throughout the whole year, but the tracks are mostly for serious skiers. Saas-Fee is located in a valley, close to Zermatt and you can’t use a personal car there, only public transport.
There are thirteen peaks in the area around the resort and they are covered in snow all year round. There are also snow-making machines for the lower slopes. There are many glacier tracks and in Saas-Fee the snow is never poor.

Saas Fee Skiing Holidays

In Saas-Fee there are approximately 80 kilometers of ski tracks, suitable for all difficulty levels. If you are a beginner, you should start from the town lifts of the resort and used them for about three days. Later you can move to the tracks, reached by the Plattjen lift or the Felskinn.
The first sun-lit area in the morning is the Spielboden/Längfluh which has tracks suitable for intermediate and expert skiers. If you are an intermediate you can ski from Längfluh down to the chair lift. Below the station of the chair lift the terrain is very steep and narrow. From the top of the cable car of Längfluh you can take a drag lift to the glacier – the Feekatz lift. It connects the two major ski areas – Längfluh and Felskinn/Mittelallalin. The latter is probably the most famous area around Saas-Fee and there are two lifts from the resort to the Felskinn station. From there you can use the Metro Alpine in order to reach Mittelallalin. From there you can see a gorgeous view of many high peaks. From the station, beginners and intermediates should go to the left and experts – to the right, or return to the Felskinn area. On the left there is a drag lift, leading to the charming Egginer area.
The ski tracks from the top Felskinn station to the middle one are used by beginners and intermediates. The ones below the middle station to the resort are quite steep and especially the Kanonenrohr and Bach trails are suitable for experts.
The last sun-lit area in the evening is the Plattjen and it is reachable by a gondola for six people. The tracks in this area are usually not very visited and are suitable for every difficulty.
There are also new lifts going to the glaciers which offer skiing even in the summer. On the glacier of Saas-Fee there is also a snowboarding park, open throughout the whole year. It has available pipes, rails, tables and even high jumps.
