Saas Fee / Other information

The once-a-week fondue evening at the top of the Hannig, followed by a torchlit descent, is highly recommended. For thrill seekers there's the alpine gorge adventure.

There’s a lot to do other than ski in Saas Fee. The 900m Feeblitz toboggan run, on rails, is open all year and there’s major sledging from the top of the Hannig mountain (5kms). The slopes are served by gondola and there’s a once-a-week fondue evening at the top, followed by a torchlit descent. It’s a great ride down the forested hillside, with a small bar on a corner before the final quick section. Highly recommended.

There are also winter walking trails on the Hannig and elsewhere around Saas Fee, totaling 30km, with an additional 22km around Saas Grund, Almagell and Balen. Good cross country skiing (36km) includes a route up the valley from Saas Almagell to the Mattmark dam, following the pretty route alongside the wooded river.

For thrills, try the alpine gorge adventure, led by a guide through frozen waterfalls and across rope slides. More serious still is Saas Fee’s first class ice climbing; in January they hold the world indoor ice climbing championships on a spectacular ice pillar in the middle of the car-park’s spiral ramp. Still on ice, but with no special skills required, Saas Fee’s ice grotto is the world’s largest; you can get married there but most visitors choose just to slide around and take in the ice sculptures.

Back at valley level there are outdoor skating and curling rinks. Additionally there’s snow tubing, airboarding, husky sledding, horse carriage rides, spa, pool and wellness facilities, and finally, free walking tours of the village organised by the Saas Fee tourist office and a village museum.
