Saas-Fee is a picturesque, car-free village nestled in a high alpine valley at 1,800 meters in Switzerland. Surrounded by 13 towering peaks over 4,000 meters, it has a remote, peaceful charm that makes it feel like a true mountain escape. The village itself has a traditional Swiss feel, with chalet-style buildings, narrow streets, and a relaxed atmosphere. Despite its quiet setting, Saas-Fee isn’t lacking in things to do. There are restaurants and bars, plenty of boutique shops, and even a revolving restaurant at the top of the Allalin Glacier, with breathtaking 360-degree views of the surrounding peaks. The village is also known for its tame marmots, which are a favourite with visitors in the summer. If you love the mountains but prefer a more laid-back, traditional setting than some of the bigger resorts, Saas-Fee is the perfect mix of natural beauty, Swiss charm, and outdoor adventure.
The Ski Slopes
Saas-Fee’s ski slopes give visitors a diverse and snow-sure experience, with 150 km of pistes ranging from 1,500 to 3,600 metres in altitude. The high elevations and glacier skiing ensure a long season which sometimes extends from late autumn into early summer. The slopes are well-balanced, with a mix of blue, red, and black runs, so it’s a great destination for all skiing levels. Beginners can take advantage of gentle blue slopes near the village, while intermediate skiers will love the rolling red pistes leading from Plattjen and Längfluh. For advanced skiers, the black runs off Mittelallalin offer steep descents, and there’s plenty of off-piste terrain for those looking for more adventure. Saas-Fee also has several funparks and challenge areas, including the Funpark Morenia, Funslope Hohsaas, and the CUPRA Challenges, with jumps, banked turns, and freestyle obstacles.
Après-ski in Saas-Fee is cosy, fun, and laid-back, with a mix of sunny terraces, rustic mountain bars, and lively spots in town. After a day on the slopes, you can grab a drink at a mountainside bar while soaking in the stunning glacier views or head into the village, where the atmosphere is always welcoming. Saas-Fee doesn’t have the wild, all-night party scene of some bigger resorts, but that’s part of its charm. Après here is more about unwinding with friends, enjoying local Valais wines, and listening to live music. Some bars keep things lively with alpine rock and chart hits, while others offer a more relaxed fireside setting.
