Location: Saas Fee < Switzerland
Car: not necessary
Saas Fee is a very charming, romantic traditional, unspoilt and traffic-free village of 1200 people. It is situated in an unrivalled setting surrounded by glaciers and mountains rising in excess of 4,000 meters. Saas Fee is known as the 'Pearl of the Alps'. The village is at 1800m and skiing goes up to 3500m so it is snow sure for the whole season. Skiing even continues on the glacier throughout the summer where it is used by all the international ski teams. It is not surprising that it is a top resort in Switzerland and with its chalets, quaint shops and narrow cobblestone streets it is considered one of the top resorts in Switzerland. With over 70 restaurants, night clubs and shops it has something for everyone. There is great skiing, boarding and walking. It is beautiful in the summer with a micro climate giving it as many sunny days as California.
