Saas Fee Ski Holidays

Location

The 'Pearl of the Alps' surrounded by magnificent glaciers.

Traditional resort town with plenty to do after skiing and off the slopes.
High-altitude and snow-sure pistes and bus access down the valley to the separate ski areas of Saas Grund and Saas Allmagell.
Incredible views of surrounding 4,000m peaks from the glacier and world's highest revolving restaurant.

A picturesque Swiss village with high-altitude skiing, Saas Fee is known for its long ski runs and great snow record. The 100km of ski terrain is mostly above 2500m, with three separate areas. The glacier has some excellent intermediate terrain and there’s a great area for families down the valley in Saas Grund, where you’ll find empty slopes. The village of Saas Fee itself is pretty and traditional, with a lively après scene and a cracking selection of bars to choose between.

There’s plenty to keep the kids busy in the evening, like the outdoor ice rink and swimming pool, which are both perfect after a day on the slopes.

Got a competitive edge? Enter the Adrenalin Cup and try your hand at up to ten mountain disciplines - from speed skiing to mountain hikes. Anyone with a lift pass can enter, and you can track your exploits with photos and videos. Plus, those with the most points at the end of the month can win great prizes.

Ratings

With all the various national tourist boards applying widely varying criteria to hotel ratings, the whole question of international hotel grades has become confused. We have therefore applied our own 'rating', representing the general standards of that country in order that fairer comparisons can be made.

Please note: rating may differ from the official star rating of the local tourist board. Our classifications take into account not only the basic facilities, but also the location, leisure facilities, general character and atmosphere of the hotel, as well as customer feedback. Chalet ratings give comparisons with other chalets but do not provide like for like comparisons with the ratings of full service hotels.

Your package price and availability

Our website's prices and flight, accommodation and room availability are updated every morning. To calculate average price per person, applicable discounts are subtracted from your total cost, which is then divided by the number of adults and children (excluding infants). A full price breakdown can be viewed on the payment page.

In some circumstances, prices and availability may update during the day so you may find price/availability differences later in the booking process.

This is usually due to high demand for the selected holiday. Should you have any issues with this, please contact us or see here for more information.

All accommodation in Saas Fee

In Saas Fee, you can choose from a wide range of over 50 places to eat. Most restaurants offer traditional Swiss Alpine cuisine, though there are also plenty of Italian ristorantes as well. If you love cheese and steak, you'll be very happy here.

• Vieux Chalet – The go-to place in town for fondue - choose from a huge range of 20 types of cheese fondue, from traditional to unusual flavours like curry, beer and Hawaiian.

• Waldhus Bodmen – Cosy up in this traditional wooden chalet, and enjoy a big range of meat dishes and fondues. Through the window, you can watch the menagerie of pigs, rabbits, chickens and goats.

• Don Ciccio – Authentic Italian fare, from fantastic pizzas to hearty pasta, plus a range of fish and meat dishes like osso bucco with saffron risotto.

• Essstube – An excellent selection of juicy steaks and fondue, in a friendly atmosphere. The other meats, fish, burgers, rosti and pastas are also good choices.

• Three-Sixty (Mittelallalin peak) – A meal at the highest revolving restaurant in the world, up at 3,500m, is not to be missed. Take your time as you eat and enjoy the spectacular views.

• Gletschergrotte (piste 4b) – The ‘Glacier Cave’ restaurant is a hidden gem for tasty Valais specialities, accompanied by a welcoming atmosphere and beautiful views from the terrace.

• Schäferstube (top of village nursery slope) – Beginners can take a break here to fuel up on meat grilled on the fireplace, and soak up the views from the terrace.

With not too much and not too little, Saas Fee is known to have a 'healthy' après scene with a great selection of bars to frequent. And, unlike other resorts, Saas Fee has numerous open-air bars, blasting out good music, at the end of the ski runs and along the main street.

• Snow Point – Located at the bottom of the slopes is this fantastic circus tent bar. Run by British seasonnaires, it's a good spot for the typical comforts of home.

• The Black Bull – Your typical après bar with lively music, a dance floor and good-natured fun in the form of congas. This wooden chalet has a patio with outdoor heaters too, but the beer can be slightly more expensive than other places.

• Popcorn Bar – One of the most established bars in Saas Fee, the Popcorn Bar, serving Carlsberg alongside loads of other drinks, is known for its legendary parties and is popular with snowboarders. There's an area to dance, a pool table and even an underground nightclub downstairs.

• The reds at the top of the mountain are wide and well-groomed, so they're do-able for competent beginners. • The Mittelallalin restaurant is the world's highest revolving restaurant - perfect for a lunch stop.

Saas Fee has excellent skiing for beginners with large nursery areas at the edge of the village and an excellent ski school. The Egginer blue slope is wide and sunny and there is some great cruising above the Langfluh.

With lots of wide open, well-groomed pistes, Saas Fee is a paradise for intermediates. The Felskinn area (at 2974m) is a favourite, while the Langfluh (2888m) has some steeper, more challenging runs.

The glacier offers year-round skiing and guaranteed snow, with skiing from 3500m. The top of the Felskinn offers some excellent powder skiing and steep and heavily mogulled runs.

The Fee Glacier, sitting at over 3,600m above sea level, offers 20km of long, gentle piste - predominantly red and blue runs - and excellent snow. The slopes are accessed by Metro Alpin, an underground funicular.

Saas Fee has a plethora of wide, open slopes for carving and off-piste possibilities. If you're a beginner, the nursery slopes are fantastic, and as you progress, you'll have handfuls of blue and red runs to try out. Freestylers can have a ball at the Morenia Freestyle Park, which offers obstacles for all abilities.
