Saas-Fee
The information provided is purely advisory and was correct at the time of posting
but cannot be guaranteed and should not be relied upon without further corroboration.
Saas-Fee has some of the most spectacular scenery anywhere, from 4000m peaks to a range of
stunning glaciers. Much of this territory is shared by its illustrious neighbour, Zermatt.
Saas-Fee sits at 1800m, so snow is all but guaranteed. The skiing is not as challenging as
Zermatt's, with most of the runs favouring intermediates and beginners. Snowboarders will
like Saas-Fee with its excellent school, although it isn't great for middle-ability boarders.
The ski domain is not that expansive, with 100km of its own pistes, while the lift is rather
inefficient. Due to the dominance of the Dom Mountain (one of the highest in Switzerland),
the resort can suffer from a lack of sun in the winter. The Mittelallalin glacier,
connected by an underground funicular railway, provides summer skiing and boarding.
Saas-Fee is also the official training centre for the Professional Snowboarding Association.
The resort itself has maintained more of its traditional village charm than Zermatt and is
traffic-free. There is plenty to do when not skiing, with a sports centre, the highest
revolving restaurant in the world (3500m) and some good designer ski shops. Après-ski is
fine, but the eateries aren't excellent and they charge prices that will have you increasing
your mortgage.
Overall, Saas-Fee has a lot of great features, particularly its scenery, causing many people
to fall in love with the place. Its skiing isn't awesome and it has Zermatt as a
neighbour, so the two are always compared.
