100 SECONDS

ENJOY MOUNTAIN MAGIC WITH YOUR HEAD IN 

THE STARS 

The blissful sound of silence, the awe-inspiring light of 

the stars, the infinite space above the clouds: those 

who have experienced the magic of the mountains 

usually struggle to find the words to describe it. And 

most generally use just one: amazing! 

The Saas Valley’s 18 majestic 4,000-metre peaks are 

rather like the big top at a circus, drawing visitors in with 

the promise of spectacle and wonder. A display of light 

and colour – enchanting and mysterious, soothing and 

enticing, with relaxing and invigorating moments – 

bewitches visitors of all ages, with each taking away 

their own special memories. This circus in the mountains 

is an arena of boundless fascination! 

The curtain rises on a magical summer in the mountains! 

With your mind in the stars and your feet on the 

magic mountains of Saas-Fee. 

Welcome to the Free Republic of Holidays! 

The Department of Relaxation and Magic.

DESTINATIONS 

Britannia mountain hut, Saas-Fee (3,030 m a.s.l.) 

Built in 1912 by British members of the Alpenclub (hence the 

name) the Britannia mountain hut is one of the most visited SAC 

mountain huts in all of the Alps and is the starting point for the 

famous Haute Route and other high-Alpine trails. It is situated 

about a 90-minute walk from the Felskinn mountain station. 

Please note: The Britannia mountain hut is open from March. 

Please contact the hut warden or the tourist office 

(pp. 10/11) in advance to find out the exact opening 

times. 

Hannig, Saas-Fee (2,336 m a.s.l.) 

The sunny slopes of the Hannig with its spacious sun terrace are the

feed by hand. Opening hours coincide with the Hannig gondola lift 

timetable (p. 26). 

Mittelallalin, Saas-Fee (3,500 m a.s.l.)
