Saas-Fee known as Die Perle der Alpen, or The pearl of the Alps, sits close to the glaciers of the Dom and the Allalinhorn in the Swiss Alps. It is a picturesque destination which attracts visitors all year round. The architectural style is authentic Swiss mountain, blending in well with the surrounding environment. This is maintained by the village requirement that structures must be 40% made of wood.
Saas-Fee is part of the Saastal ski area, and has access (with the appropriate lift pass) to the ski resorts of Saas Almagell and Saas Grund. With its proximity to two glaciers, the resort can offer snow sport opportunities year long. Typical activities on offer besides skiing and snowboarding are carving, snowshoe walks, canyon climbing, tobogganing, paragliding and ice climbing. The resort has lots of cultural events such as classical music recitals and walking tours. There are also plenty of off-slope sports activities in the sports and leisure complex. For nighttime entertainment the area provides bars, nightclubs and restaurants, one of which is the highest revolving restaurant in the world, located at an altitude of 3500m and accessed by the underground Metro Alpine funicular railway.
Saas-Fee is a pedestrian only town with lots of accommodation options close to the slopes. From rustic chalets to three star hotels, the resort accommodates every budget and taste. The Hotel Elite Saas-Fee and Hotel Bristol are both great value for money and ideally located near the town. The easiest way to access the resort is via the train from Geneva. If you must drive the transfer time from both Geneva or Milan Malpensa airports is around three hours. The Saas-Fee resort is the perfect choice for year round winter sports, group ski trips and romantic holidays.
