Saas Fee, often referred to as the 'Pearl of the Alps', is a premier ski destination with a diverse range of slopes for all skill levels. Known for its reliable snow conditions and extensive off-piste areas, it's a favorite among powder enthusiasts. The resort boasts some challenging terrain for advanced skiers, as well as more forgiving runs for beginners and intermediates. The high-altitude glaciers ensure skiing is possible almost year-round. Après ski in Saas Fee is vibrant, with a good mix of bars and clubs. The dining scene is equally diverse, offering everything from quick bites to gourmet experiences. Saas Fee combines excellent skiing with a lively atmosphere, making it a top choice for a comprehensive ski holiday.

My first time skiing in Switzerland, and the slopes in Saas Fee were like nothing I’d seen before; so well groomed, super wide runs, and quiet. Not the largest resort but I did not get bored going down some of the same routes throughout the week. Mostly reds and some blacks, so my skiing ability improved massively throughout my week there (as I didn’t really have a choice!).
There’s a train that takes you through the mountain to the top, and the lift connections are good.
Nice restaurants and bars, apres ski was decent too. Stick to beers to keep the apres costs down!
There was an ice climbing event at the time of my stay which was something different to see.
Would love to return to Saas Fee in the future.

Saas-fee was a brilliant resort with great views and slopes taking you all the way from the top of the resort down into the village, the revolving cafe at the top was a must visit for the best lunchtime 360 degree views. Considering I visited at the end of April the snow level was insane due to the glacier that saas fee sits on. The runs were perfectly groomed and the resort wasn’t too busy at all.

One of my favourite resorts with a traffic free village and great accommodation variety. Slopes have become a bit limiting due to tunnel closures but it’s still a lovely place to ski even if the number and type of runs is not as vast as other resorts.
