Ski area Saas-Fee
The lift pass "Destinationspass" gives you access to 146 kilometres of piste and 41 lift systems in the whole of Saastal (see ski region). In the local ski area of Saas-Fee, 100 km of piste in all levels of difficulty are offered, giving you limitless fun on the pistes.
The pistes in Saas Valley are able to be used the whole winter, right through from November until Easter: Due to its extremely high altitude, snow security is guaranteed! The valley experiences heavy snowfall and particularly long-lasting sunshine especially late in spring from mid-March.
Beginners are offered ideal conditions on the easy, wide and excellently prepared glacier pistes here. Moreover, they can use 3 special beginner lifts on the outskirts of the area. Cracks will also be challenged and get their money's worth - under the glacier, the "Weiße Perle" and "National" attract experts for some unforgettable and spectacular off-piste fun. The area under the "Längfluh" chairlift attracts fans of unprepared slope moguls, and the former World Cup slope Plattjen, in the piste "Galen", still poses a challenge. A further highlight is the 14 km long "Panorama" run from the 3,500 m high "Mittelallalin Felskinn" to Saas-Fee at 1,800 m. Carvers will enjoy excellently prepared pistes in their territory under the glacier. Free stylers can take advantage of a freshly shaped half-pipe and the boarder cross. Popular night skiing can be taken advantage of once a week, when the pistes in Saas-Grund and Saas-Balen are lit in the evening.
