Nestling beside the beautiful 'Fee’ glacier and known as the 'Pearl of the Alps’, this quaint village of narrow streets and chalet style buildings has managed to ban all cars (except for the electric taxis). With guaranteed snow, 125 kms of marked pistes and with over a mile of vertical descent, Saas Fee has a lot to offer.
German is the local language spoken in Saas Fee.back to top

The Apres Ski kicks off in the mid-afternoon, usually at Nestli's Ski Bar, The Black Bull or Zur Muhle. The Alpenpub and Popcorn is loud and wild; for a more sophisicated scene try The Art Club, with live music. The Metro Bar is a classic and well worth a visit.back to top
An excellent selection of high quality restaurants but expect to pay for the privalage! Good value places include the Zur Muhle, Bodmen, Boccalino and Alp-Hitta. Generally book to reserve a place!
