Good bars and intermediate skiing
Reviewed 10 Jun 2016
This was my first time in Saas Fee but I’d been to Zermatt before. The ski area is smaller than Zermatt’s but it has enough for a week if you’re an intermediate skier. It’s mainly an intermediate resort, there are some good beginner runs when you get up to the top, but you have to travel to reach them. The village is pretty good, not like Val d’Isere in terms of nightlife, but nice with some good bars.
Pretty village and incredible views
Reviewed 5 May 2016
Saas Fee is a really good resort, we were so lucky and had just the best snow. It’s a traditional Swiss village resort with no traffic – very pretty. You have mountains all the way round which is incredible. Quite pricey but we didn’t go out much.
Saas Fee's expert skiing
Reviewed 12 Oct 2015
With thirteen 4000-meter-plus peaks encircling it into one giant powder bowl, Saas-fee has remarkably snow sure expert skiing. Black pistes like Felsental under the Felskinn peak are brilliant territory for reaching high speeds, and the 17km descent from the Allalin peak (take the funicular train to get up there) all the way back in to town is enough fun to lap all day long. While the glacier’s crevasses make freeriding here a dangerous game, brush up on your freestyle and you’ll have a blast: The Morenia Park is the main event, and there you’ll find everything you need to keep you moving towards bigger and better targets.
Lots to do in Saas Fee
Reviewed 1 Oct 2015
Most youngsters kick off their holiday in the Kid’s Fun Park, where a snow carousel’s used by 3 ski schools to ease any nerves -further afield, Saas Grund’s Hohsi Snowland carries an American Indian theme with totem poles and tipis. For older beginners or anyone who’s simply a little rusty, a bundle of easy-going blues (and the odd red) crop up between Felskinn and Morenia – blues 4b/4c connect to make a breezy trip home. Middling reds trail from Allalin to Langfluh (1700m if skiing to Saas), where a set of tricky routes pile on steepness and creep through narrow paths. Powdery patches dot this area too, and moguls are not an uncommon sight above Spielboden – experts in favour of tree-lined blacks make their way to Plattjen for a pinch of rockiness and very deep snow.
Tucked inside this quintessentially Swiss resort has a whole host of classic activities like curling, and everyone enjoys a trip to the ice grotto (apparently the world's biggest of its kind). Nesti’s Ski Bar is usually buzzing by nightfall, while the Black Bull steals the live music limelight. Popcorn. A bustling boarding watering-hole, it transforms into a place to drop and bop after hours. Nearby in the Vernissage Lounge, things are kept classy, with a stylish cocktail bar bringing contemporary wooden decor to the mix.
Nice village, plenty of apres, snowsure skiing
Reviewed 9 Apr 2014
Saas Fee is a nice village and certainly if you’re after après there’s plenty going on, but equally there are quieter places and restaurants if you prefer that.
There was a carnival while we were here when the locals went round the streets with trumpets and drums which was fun.
The snow was really good with a couple of metres on the upper slopes - it was a good year when we were here but Saas Fee is pretty snow sure anyway.
If you’re after lots of black runs it’s probably not your place but there are a few black runs with lots for intermediates which is great for our kind of skiing.
Would recommend for couples
Reviewed 7 Mar 2014
Went here as a couple – wouldn’t say it’s great for groups as its quiet but would recommend to couples.
Skied here in March and had very good snow conditions.
Fabulous everything we hoped for in a Swiss resort
Reviewed 23 Dec 2012
The best things about the resort was everything! It was fabulous everything we hoped for in a Swiss resort. My son loved the fact that the toboggan run was right behind us. We loved that it was so quiet, no cars, and the little train was fun. Although we walked everywhere. Liked dropping the skis off at the hire shop every night so didn’t have to carry them home, lead to shopping etc en route to the hotel. We would definitely use your company again and recommend them to our friends. The service you gave was excellent especially for a short notice booking everything was flawless.
