Villas in Saas-Fee
Saas-Fee suits skiers who want high glacier slopes and families who like a car-free village, staying in a chalet apartment. Most homes sleep four to six. The trade-off is arrival: cars stay in the car parks at the village entrance, so the last stretch is on foot, by handcart or by e-taxi.

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.

When to go to Saas-Fee
For 2026 the Mittelallalin lifts ran from 5 December 2025 to 19 April 2026 and reopen from 18 July to 31 October, so the high slopes run late into spring and again from midsummer into autumn. Saas-Grund and Saas-Almagell closed earlier in spring, on 6 April. Between those dates the top lifts are shut, so check the lift timetable before booking a shoulder week.
