Saas-Fee

This is a delightful and picturesque car-free village (bar a few necessary service vehicles) set in a beautiful valley at 1800m. Saas Fee offers truly spectacular views of 13 peaks over 4000m. Flower decked wooden chalets, narrow winding streets, superb scenery and pure mountain air all combine to offer a relaxing holiday.

Above Saas Fee rise some of the highest peaks in the Alps and there are a variety of cable cars to take you the easy way, including the Alpine Express gondola and the Alpine Metro. At 3500m this is the world's highest underground train and leads to the glacier at Mittelallalin where you will also find the world's highest revolving restaurant with magnificent views and an ice pavillion inside the glacier.

With its Alpine meadows and pine woods this is wonderful walking country. The paths are well marked and signposts also show the walking times. It is a popular and lively village with a variety of shops as well as attractive cafes and bars for you to enjoy in the evenings. A visit to the old town of Brig in the Rhone Valley is well worthwhile.
