Would you like to go skiing with your family but you are not sure where to go? Check Saas Fee, one of the well-known European ski resorts. Saas Fee provides good skiing for everyone; for families, alpine racers, backcountry enthusiasts, snowboarders, telemarkers and traditional skiers. Saas Fee is a good ski resort which you should really check out.

Just like in Zermatt, in Saas Fee cars are banned. Cars are left in front of the gates of Saas Fee and the town itself is car free. Notice that you do not have to walk everywhere with all your baggage. Electric shuttle buses drive you from the huge parking house to your hotel and back.

Saas Fee has lots of ski lifts, which means that you don’t need to stand in queues as much as in some other ski resorts. Ski lifts in Saas Fee are modern and they are in good condition. Saas Fee provides over diverse 20 pistes from which you probably can find some good runs for you. Saas Fee provides steep pistes for advanced skiers as well as easier pistes for beginners, children and those who just don’t prefer steep and fast pistes. In Saas Fee you can see lots of families and juniors, but also alpine racers and powder hunters. Pistes in Saas Fee usually stay in good condition for the whole day, and in backcountries you can find untouched powder days after the last dump.

The town of Saas Fee is small and beautiful, a typical Swiss alpine town. Saas Fee town is clean and there are a couple of supermarkets, few restaurants and tourist shops. Saas Fee is a safe and trustworthy ski resort for most of the skiers, but it does not provide anything unique or special. Therefore some skiers might get bored in few days in Saas Fee.

Saas Fee is a favorite ski resort for a number of alpine ski teams. Saas Fee is located in the end of the Saas valley in Switzerland and it is surrounded by 13 over 4000-meter peaks. One of those peaks is Dom (4545 m.), the highest mountain of Switzerland. The easiest access to Saas Fee is by flying to Geneva, Milan or Zürich from where you can take a bus or rent a car and drive to Saas Fee (around 250 km. from each city). If you wish to visit Swiss cities, Bern (the capitol of Switzerland) is located only 110 km away from Saas Fee.
