Ski area Saas-Fee
The "Destination Pass" gives you access to 141 kilometres of piste in the entire Saas Valley (see ski region). The local ski area of Saas-Fee offers unlimited skiing fun on 100 kilometres of piste of all levels of difficulty.
The pistes in the Saas Valley can be skied from November until well after Easter. Thanks to the extreme altitude and numerous snow-making facilities, reliability of snow is guaranteed! Especially in late spring, from mid-March, the Saas Valley is characterised by enormous snowfall and a particularly high duration of sunshine.
The easy, wide and well-groomed glacier pistes offer ideal conditions for beginners. On the outskirts of the village, you can also use three lifts especially for beginners. But advanced skiers will also get their money's worth: below the glacier, the "White Pearl" and the "National" offer unforgettable and spectacular off-piste fun. Below the "Längfluh" chair lift, the unprepared slope attracts mogul piste fans and on the former World Cup slope Plattjen, the "Galen" piste is a challenge even for experts. Another highlight is the 14 km long "Panorama" descent from the 3,500 m high Mittelallalin Felskinn to Saas-Fee. Below the glacier, carvers have their territory on wide, perfectly groomed pistes. You can experience the ever-popular night skiing in Saas-Grund and Saas-Balen. The piste is floodlit once a week in the evening.
