The Skiers' Guide to Saas Fee

Amazing Resort, returning for my fourth time very soon, great for families, great ski and snowboard schools, night life a little quite, but how I like it, amazing food

Only the peak was open so it was hard to get a full feel. But it was really good all the less. Groomers were nice. Views incredible. Staff really nice. Genuinely enjoyed my time. Only wish I got there when the full mountain was open.

A very scenic resort. We visited with two first two first time skiers and they loved it. We had good snow, the hotel was amazing .

Challenging skiing, easy to return to village. Skied there for 20 years. Reds are not easy and few blacks but great for everyone.

Nice place, very pricey but proportionately good facilities and food if you have the money. The hostel has optional spa entry

Traffic free village except buses and taxis, makes for a quiet clean space. Large car park with loading zone. Buses are frequent but not always easy to get in and out.
Hotel prices are OK if you stay further out and many offer free transport to and from the car park.
Apres ski is easy to find and ok for swiss prices.
Eating out is not cheap but is good quality.
Lift pass is ok price. Main runs are well groomed, quite wide and pretty quiet given that we were there for a weekend in the school holiday period.
Be warned that there are a lot of T-bars with quite short dismount zones on the upper slopes.

Not a huge area for piste skiers but what is there is well groomed and quiet. Be careful on the t-bars as many have very short areas to dismount while the hangers are still at full stretch. On mountain food and drinks are reasonable for Switzerland. Off piste seems good but be aware of the risk off crevasses on the glaciers.
Village is car free with electric buses and taxis. Eating out is typical swiss prices but good quality.

Stunning scenery, very snow sure, amazing wide red runs at high altitude. Classy car free village with lots of accommodation choices. Expensive but not prohibitively so.

Fantastic resort with a range of runs, perfect for all levels.Beautiful Swiss town with lovely shops, bars and restaurants.Car free which is lovely while walking around the town.

Skied here for the first time in march 2025. Conditions were amazing. The on poste lunch options was great and the apres as well

Very good customer service.well looked after.i went there with a middle school.easybto get around.boots hurt feet but got past that.had a great time.

Gorgeous glacial resort with phenomenal long runs, excellent restaurants and long lasting snow!

Ive had some of the best ski days on ce ever had time Saas-Fee. Particularly the huge wide pistes that the run down from the glacier, excellent for big beautiful carving turns.

Would also high recommend the Langfluh Restaurant :) excellent food and service.

I spent October 2023 in Saas-Fee for a month-long ski racing training, and it couldnt have been more perfect. The glacier provided incredible early-season conditions with consistently reliable snow and well-maintained training lanes, ideal for refining technique and gaining speed. The high-altitude setting ensured top-quality training even when other resorts were still gearing up for winter. The village itself is car-free, which added a unique charm and allowed for full focus on training and recovery. With great accommodations, friendly locals, and breathtaking alpine views, Saas-Fee proved to be the ultimate destination for ski racers looking to elevate their performance.

The ski area covers a huge vertical so the off piste runs can be extremely long (if desired). There's a lot of area reachable from the upper gondolas which stays in good condition for several days. The downside of that is very long lift times to get from base to the top. Some routes are not safe without a guide due to the glacier, however there are many touring options if the resort gets tracked out. The lift passes and general cost are higher than many resorts and the food options on the mountain are few.

Charming village and amazing scenery. Lots of good bars and restaurants to choose from and plenty of apres options. Ski area is not huge but has a lot of variety from easy blues to more challenging reds and a couple of blacks. Some lifts could do with updating but on the whole a lovely, typical Swiss village with high altitude slopes.

Great high altitude snow sure resort.. piste is quite even at half term with almost no Queues..

Beautiful village which is car free..

Great ski schools..

Great resort for intermediate skiers, the glacier allows a bit of snow security as well. The food and drink are amazing and overall the resort is not to crowded. There is also a great bus system which allows you to get to the lifts easily if you are staying outside of Sass Fee.
