SAAS FEE AND VALAIS

The world renowned traffic-free glacier village of Saas Fee lies on a high sunny plateau 1,800 metres above sea level in the Valais Region of Switzerland at the foot of the highest chain of Swiss mountains. The village of Saas Fee has an incredible 12 peaks of 4,000 metres plus in the immediately surrounding area.  Saas Fee and its sister villages offer an incredible array of Winter and Summer activities.  Due to the height and aspect, the best snow conditions in Europe are almost guaranteed.

Normal vehicles are forbidden - this traffic free principle means the village has retained its dramatic and romantic character which is totally safe for children, families, etc and yet creates a lively cosmopolitan street life feel.

The photo (above left) shows Saas Fee nestling in its valley with the early morning sun just breaking across the village. The peaks around provide unlimited fun for all the family in all seasons. Above right you see the rotating restaurant at the top of the train which runs through the mountain tunnel. Due to the unique combination of altitude but sunny southerly aspect, this region of Switzerland offers probably the best all year round climate in the World with over 300 days of sunshine per annum.
