Majestic peaks, glaciers so close you could almost touch them, and a vibrant blue sky: that's the Saas Valley. Skiers and snowboarders will discover a fascinating mountain world which inspires and impresses visitors in both summer and winter. With their historic Valaisian wooden houses and rustic grain barns, the four communities of the Saas Valley have retained their traditional village character. With slopes stretching to altitudes of 3600 metres, skiers and snowboarders of all abilities will find guaranteed snow in the middle of spectacular scenery.

Saas-Fee sits at an altitude of 1800 metres in an idyllic valley, surrounded by the highest mountains in the Swiss Alps.  Breath in fresh alpine air in this pedestrian-only village that's surrounded - shell-like - by thirteen, 4000 metre peaks, earning its distinctive name "The Pearl of the Alps."
