Holiday in Saas-Fee

About Saas-Fee

Saas-Fee, the "Pearl of the Alps," is a car-free mountain village in the Valais, surrounded by a ring of thirteen peaks over 4,000 meters – a density of summits that is unique in the Alps. The village, located at an altitude of 1,800 meters, has preserved its original character with old Valais wooden chalets and weathered barns on stilts, while also offering modern infrastructure that delights visitors year-round. Cars must remain in the parking garage at the village entrance – Saas-Fee is explored on foot or by the free electric bus. This car-free environment grants the place a heavenly tranquility, where one can only hear the crunching of snow under hiking boots and the distant rumble of an avalanche. The Allalin Glacier allows skiing into the summer, and the Metro Alpin – the highest underground railway in the world at 3,500 meters – takes winter sports enthusiasts under the glacier to the Mittelallalin station with the Ice Pavilion, the largest walkable glacier cave in the world. In summer, the Saas-Fee Experience Pass entices with 18 different attractions: via ferratas, the longest zip line in the world over the Feebach Gorge, a high ropes course, and guided glacier hikes. The Hannig sun terrace offers perhaps the most beautiful sunset in the Valais with a view of the Dom massif (4,545 m), the highest mountain entirely on Swiss soil. For German guests, the journey is via Bern or the Simplon – a bit further, but the seclusion is part of the charm.
