Skiing & snowboarding
With 150 km of first class, well-maintained ski slopes
and a panorama of 18 4000 metre peaks, it is hard-
ly surprising that over 40000 winter sports devotees
voted Saas-Fee the best ski resort in Switzerland in
2016. Because our slopes are up to 3600 m above
sea level, we are guaranteed snow all year round.
That is right, with us you can go skiing or snowboar-
ding even in Summer!

Revolving restaurant & Ice Pavilion
We are the home of the highest revolving restaurant
in the world. Unique views of seemingly endless
mountain peaks and tasty cuisine are awaiting
visitors at 3500 metres above sea level. And that is
not all: our Ice Pavilion is another highlight on the
Mittelallalin. Don‘t miss the incredible ice cave be-
low the restaurant and experience the secrets of our
glacier up close.
Viewpoint Längfluh (2870 masl)
Nowhere else you can get as fast and as close to
the glacier like here! The views of the Fee glacier
is particularly impressive on the Längfluh. With the
gondola lift you reach this viewpoint within 20 mi-
nutes. The glacier and the peaks of the Mischabel
chain, including Switzerland‘s highest mountain, the
Dom (4545 masl), seem to be a stone‘s throw away.
Viewpoint Hohsaas (3200 masl)
From Hohsaas you have the best view on the 18
4000 metre peaks surrounding the Saas Valley - the
panorama is truly unique. We recommend taking
the theme trail „18 four-thousand-metre peaks“.
Each stop along the trail is dedicated to one moun-
tain and has a small information board on the peak.

unique landscape of mountains and glaciers. A total of 150 kilometres of slope reaches from 3600

ski region. From July through to fall, 20 km of slopes on the glacier is open to the public. Saas-Fee is
one of the few destinations in Europe which offer skiing in summer. This is why ski and snowboard
professionals from all over the world come to train here from July to September.

Traditional village character
The Saas Valley consists of four authentic moun-
tain villages: Saas-Fee, Saas-Grund, Saas-Alma-
gell and Saas-Balen. Although it is the biggest and
most touristy of the four, Saas-Fee has managed
to maintain its rustic character. Here you stroll
cobblestoned alleys, bordered by centuries-old
Valaisian wooden houses and grain barns. The
original village character of all four communities
exude a special charm.
Family destination & home of the friendliest Marmots
We welcome families and offer a wide range of
activities catering to their needs. That is why
the Saas-Fee/Saas Valley region was awarded
the quality label „Family destination“ by Swit-
zerland Tourism. For instance, there are special
prices for young skiers, easy runs right beside
the village, a Kids’ Fun Park and the “Swiss
Glacier World” on the glacier. Feeding marmots
in summer is something the whole family can en-
joy and what Saas-Fee is famous for. Nowhere
else can you find such tame and trusting
marmots. But they’re not only for kids, many adult
visitors enjoy feeding and petting our friendly fur
balls.
