Saas Fee Reviews & Ratings

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.

Really great mountain with some steep reds but great long runs. Not too many options and you could ski the mountain in a day.

Beautiful resort, quieter than usual runs, efficienct lifts, plenty of restaurants- especiallythe revolving restaurant. Good snow. Glacial resort.

Saas fee in Switzerland is a resort like to other. Quiet, high, long, and with terrain for all skill levels. The glacier skiing goes all year round, so there is always time to hit the slopes. For experienced skiers, there is plenty of potential for off piste terrain around the marked yellow runs or backcountry. The village is a beautiful historic Swiss environment with plenty of restaurants and things to do. And the party scene is about as good as it gets. Overall I would highly recommend Saas Fee for anyone families, keen skiers, or people that want to just have a good time in a nice historical village. 4,5/5

Huge vertical, glacier skiing, quiet slopes. Off piste with a guide, great beginners area at village and on glacier. Pricy to eat on mountain and in town.

We had a great week! The mountain isn’t great for beginner riders as progression runs are hard. Apres was great fun

Having visited the Valais canton and Saas Valley area while backpacking Europe in 1989, I was keen to go back and experience the skiing in Saas Fee. The commute via Geneva was pretty slick - trains leave the airport for Visp, from where one can get a bus all the way up to the Saas Fee village. It’s a beautiful small village where everything is mostly walking distance. Being a car-free village, commuting other than walking or bicycle, is available by battery-powered shuttles or village bus. We stayed at the Sporthotel Europa on Hannigstrasse on a bed and breakfast basis. Included in the rate are the spa facilities which include sauna, steam bath, hot tub, showers etc. for relaxing after a cold day on the mountain. Skis and equipment was available from many of the rental outlets. We went with Intersport, having used them on a previous skiing trip in Europe - top notch and professional friendly service. Arriving on the 4th of January, we just missed the peak season crowds which was great. Due to the altitude and area being glacial, it was freezing, but the warmth of the service and scenery made up for that. To get back into the flow, we started on the small blue runs serviced by button and T-bar lifts accessible in the village near the ski school and ice rink. To get to higher runs, we had to take gondolas/cable cars via Felskinn, Spielboden and Alpin Express stations. One issue we had with going higher, is that a lot of the blue runs are only accessible or connected via reds. Our two children who had only skied once before were quite nervous which limited their choices up on the glacier areas. Conditions were great though, blue skies and well groomed runs. A treat was to go up to the Mittelallalin revolving restaurant - spectacular. This is reached by taking the Alpin Express to Felskinn. You have to transfer by walking a short distance through the tunnel to get the Metro Alpin, a funicular railway. Food and drink prices are quite high, but visiting from the UK, pretty much on par. Overall a great experience in spectacular surroundings, but ski trips as always are too short. Until next time...

I came to saas fee for my first time ever, my first time on the slopes ever. Within 7 days I was looping a blue/red so that shoutout goes straight to the ski school, was a great atmosphere with beautiful views plan on going back this year and making it a family thing

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
