The Saas Valley is home to several attractive villages, of which Saas Fee is the highest and prettiest, with Saas Almagell, Saas Grund and Saas Balen dotted on the lower plains of the valley, and all are connected by a network of walking trails.
The 350km of marked footpaths offer walks for everyone, whether you wish to stroll between the numerous cafés admiring the scenery, or enjoy more challenging hikes into the highlands. Guided walks are available for high altitude hikes and for in-depth 'fauna and flora' days, where the local marmots are always a favourite with the children. Mountain bikers have 70km of dedicated trails to explore, covering a wide variety of terrain. Bikes can be transported up the mountain on two of the lifts to access the best downhill rides, for which a guide is recommended - this can be arranged in resort.
The Welcome Wander takes place on Sundays and is a family-friendly walk, suitable for all ages, to introduce you to the local area. It offers a great opportunity to meet fellow guests and to plan the week's activities. The gentle walk will culminate at a scenic spot to enjoy a complimentary light packed lunch. You may then leave your younger children in our child carers' capable hands and enjoy a further hour's walk if you wish.
Set close to the Italian border amongst the highest mountains in Switzerland, Saas Fee is known as 'The Pearl of the Alps', and as the archetypal chocolate-box Alpine village, is the perfect choice for our first Swiss resort. The setting is unbeatable, with the Fee glacier providing the stunning backdrop to this thoroughly charming village of old wooden chalets and flower-laden balconies.
Holidays here can be as active or as relaxing as you wish. Past guests have praised the huge range of activities available for adults and children alike, all set amidst simply spectacular Alpine scenery, but this is also the perfect resort for just soaking up the scenery from our Chalet Hotel's inviting sun-terrace, taking the occasional gentle stroll, and relaxing in the Annahof's spa area.
The peaceful setting is further enhanced by the lack of cars on the small cobbled streets, with only the special electric 'milk float' taxis buzzing to and fro. Private cars are left in a secure car-park at the entrance to the village, and a member of the Esprit team will meet you here on your arrival day. It is approximately ten minutes' downhill walk to your Chalet Hotel, but with luggage you may prefer to ride in an electro-taxi - a great introduction to Sass Fee for the children! As both are optional elements, car parking and taxis are not included in our prices.
ith so much to do, that even the most active family will relish the seemingly endless choice and variety, whilst those in search of relaxation will find the fresh air, pristine environment and specatacular scenery a tonic.
