Dear Citizens,

An almost Mediterranean microclimate, unique flora, and plenty of destinations for day trips – no place is lovelier in the summer than the Saas Valley. And if you love sun- shine, the Saas Valley is the place for you! Our unique microclimate means we have fabu-lous sunny weather on four days out of five. That’s why we decided to proclaim our inde-pendence from average holiday areas and declare Saas-Fee, with its spectacular views of glaciers and 18 majestic, 4,000-meter mountain peaks, the Free Republic of Holi-days. And Saas-Fee is not just for mountain-eers. With 350 km of hiking trails to explore and tame marmots to feed, visitors forget the stresses and strains of everyday life in no time. Marvel at the most impressive moun-tain panorama in the Alps as you delight in having found paradise on Earth. Get revived and reenergised by the warmth and energy of the Saas summer.

Welcome to your new holiday wonderland: the Free Republic of Holidays Saas-Fee.

EVEN TARZAN WAS A BEGINNER ONCE –

NEW CHILDREN’S COURSE

IN THE ROPE PARK SAAS-FEE | SAAS-GRUND | SAAS-ALMAGELL | SAAS-BALEN

From summer 2015, even the tiniest of climbers can embark

on a big adventure. The brand-new children’s course in the

Adventure Forest is equipped with a comprehensive safety

system that allows children as young as four to clamber from

tree to tree. With ten new features and a fantastic zip line, the

course is a wonderful way for young children to explore the

forest.

Please note that the children should wear sturdy shoes and

be supervised by an adult (who may keep his or her feet on

the ground). Participants of all ages are given a brief introduc-

tion prior to tackling the course so that they know what awaits

them.

THE CHALLENGE COURSE JUST GOT BIGGER!

The popular Challenge Course has been extended to include

the Discovery Course, meaning it is even more fun and a who-

le half hour’s extra climbing.
