What makes Saas-Fee so unique compared to other ski destinations in Upper Valais?

The four authentic mountain villages Saas-Fee, Saas-Grund, Saas-Almagell and Saas-Balen enchant with their distinctive charm.

But Saas-Fee stands out – with its unique atmosphere and majestic glaciers, it is the most exceptional of the four. Time and again, it fascinates both residents and visitors alike, inviting you to be carried away by its magic.

Whether skiing, soaking up the sun or enjoying unforgettable moments with your loved ones – in Saas-Fee, this also means escaping the hustle and bustle of major tourist centres such as Zermatt or Verbier and enjoying peace and tranquillity in the midst of breathtaking mountain scenery.

Traditional ambience

It is often said that Saas-Fee is reminiscent of Zermatt – both charming and relaxed. But Saas-Fee follows its own path: with a calmer pace of life, a more traditional ambience and its location high up in the mountains, it radiates serenity and offers space to breathe.

It is precisely this tranquility – a harmonious blend of idyllic charm and comfort – that welcomes visitors from the very first moment and conveys the feeling of having arrived. Saas-Fee is not only the largest and highest situated village in the Saas Valley, but also one of the quietest ski villages in Switzerland – a place especially appreciated by families as an ideal holiday destination.

Saas-Fee offers a breathtaking mountain experience and an intact, authentic village character, which is why it is such a popular holiday destination.

With the various cable cars, you can reach the first viewing platforms such as Spielboden, Langflüh or Morenia in just a few minutes.

Here you are greeted by traditional mountain restaurants, marmots (the little alpine inhabitants) as well as a fascinating view of the glaciers all the way down into the village.

Upon arriving at the Mittelallalin, you will find the highest revolving restaurant in the world at 3,500 m above sea level.
