Saas Fee
Why it might suit you:
- High-altitude glacier skiing: With slopes up to 3,600m, Saas-Fee enjoys very reliable snow conditions, often extending late into spring.
- Car-free village charm: The resort center has an old-world Swiss feel and is free of cars, creating a peaceful, scenic atmosphere.
- Good for intermediates: Plenty of well-groomed blues and reds, plus stunning views of the surrounding 4,000m peaks.
Potential drawbacks:
- Smaller ski area: Though snow-sure, Saas-Fee has fewer total piste kilometers compared to larger Swiss or French mega-resorts.
- Higher prices: Swiss resorts tend to be more expensive for accommodation, food, and lift passes, and Saas-Fee is no exception.
- Some steeper access runs: Returning to the village can involve narrow or steeper sections that might challenge less confident skiers.
