Back to Nature - or better still, straight to the Free 

Republic of Holidays Saas-Fee 

CABLEWAYS 

Nature can be experienced all around the Free Republic 

of Holidays Saas-Fee. Getting back to nature need 

not be the pious wish of stressed, overwhelmed 

victims of the concrete metropolis. In the Saas Valley, 

nature is to be found with every step, smell and breath. 

Feel the warmth of the sun on your skin. Don’t just let 

the refreshing wind blow through your hair, let it refresh 

your head too. Take a deep breath of the fresh, dustfree 

air. Be amazed by the incredible diversity of 

plants, both in sight and smell. Touch thousand-year-old 

glacial ice. Pause to take in the Saas Valley’s 18 

four-thousand-metre peaks. Listen to the rushing 

mountain streams and the mountain jackdaws. See, 

smell, taste, listen, breathe in: in the Free Republic of 

Holiday Saas-Fee, nature is not only ‘at home’, but is 

to be experienced all around you. Welcome to the Free 

Republic of Holidays Saas-Fee, the natural paradise in 

the middle of the highest mountains in the Swiss Alps! 

CABLEWAYS 

Take advantage of the many offers and discounts. For 

example, there is discounted parking in Saas-Fee and 

attractive offers that will take a good deal of the burden 

off your holiday budget.

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 

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

times. 

Furggstalden, Saas-Almagell (1,893 m a.s.l.) 

From Saas-Almagell you can take the chairlift up to the region’s 

oldest hamlet, Furggstalden. You can descend back to Saas- 

Almagell either on foot or by scooter. 

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

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

perfect place for complete relaxation. It’s also a great place for kids, 

with a playground, scooter bikes, goats and wild marmots they can 

be hand feed.

themed trail. 

Längfluh, Saas-Fee (2,870m m a.s.l.) 

You will never be as close to the glacier as you are on Längfluh. 

The tall glacial crevasses are absolutely captivating and they are 

majestically crowned by the highest mountains in Switzerland 

above them. 

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

The world’s highest revolving restaurant, largest ice grotto and highest 

underground train all in one place! No stay in Saas-Fee is

spot some ibexes or chamois. 

Spielboden, Saas-Fee (2,448 m a.s.l.) 

Up here, you’ll also find our tame marmots who always look forward 

to getting a little treat. The only mountain gourmet restaurant 

in the region takes care of the physical well-being of our “two-legged" 

visitors

This is the location of Europe’s largest earth dam with its modern 

panorama restaurant. Once you’re on the 780m long dam, you 

can walk around the lake or set off on the hike to the Monte-Moro 

pass. 

Please note the schedules (p. 26/27). 

CABLEWAYS 

Kreuzboden, Saas-Grund (2,397 m a.s.l.) 

There’s something for everyone on Kreuzboden – from climbing, 

hiking on the Wellness and Pleasure Trail, to relaxing in beautiful 

surroundings on the panorama terrace. And thanks to the Hohsi 

Land play area and the petting zoo, kids are not short of things to 

do either.
