About Saas-Fee
Saas-Fee is the main village of the Saas valley, set on a high plateau at about 1,800 metres and ringed by 13 peaks over 4,000 metres, the highest concentration in the Alps. The centre is car-free, with small electric vehicles running between the hotels and the ski area. It is compact: almost every home we list lies within about a kilometre of the others, mostly apartments in chalets, some with a sauna. The Alpin Express gondola runs to Felskinn, where the Metro Alpin, opened in 1984 and the highest funicular in the world, tunnels up to Mittelallalin at about 3,456 metres. Up there are a large ice cave and the world's highest revolving restaurant. The area has about 150 km of runs.
