So what's it like?
The 'Pearl of the Alps' surrounded by magnificent glaciers
Saas Fee is a traditional Swiss village in a spectacular setting amid peaks and glaciers up at 1800. The ski area is exceptionally high with many of the pistes between 2500-3500m, making Saas Fee one of the most snowsure resorts around. The village of Saas Fee is a very pretty, traffic-free resort with Swiss style chalets, a good choice of bars and restaurants and plenty of off-slope activities including a large outdoor ice-rink, a swimming pool and husky dog sledding.
