THE FREE REPUBLIC OF HOLIDAYS OF 

SAAS-FEE - THE TOP SKIING DESTINATION 

IN SWITZERLAND 

The Saas Valley is surrounded by 18 four-thousand-metre 

peaks! An overwhelming mountain and 

glacier world that quite simply amazes all who see 

it. Well-groomed pistes from 3600m above sea 

level right down into the village. Regarded as the 

most snow-secure ski area in the Alps, a wide variety 

of cable cars comfortably escort winter sports 

fans up the mountain. And the Free Republic of 

Holidays also has other winter sports offerings to 

entice you: tobogganing, ice climbing, snow shoe 

trails, winter hiking, curling, cross-country skiing 

and much more. 

Welcome to the Free Republic of Holidays of Saas- 

Fee, the Eldorado of winter sports in the midst of 

the highest mountains in Switzerland!

THE CITIZENS’ PASS, A GOOD THING 

The Citizens’ Pass is the value-adding guest card of the Free 

Republic of Holidays of Saas-Fee. Thanks to the Citizens’ Pass, 

all guests of our partner companies get to enjoy numerous 

attractions. 

The Citizens’ Pass is like a little cash cow. Except that it’s easier 

to care for than a cow and its credit card format is very handy. 

It enables, for example, unrestricted use of the post buses 

throughout the Saas Valley. Ski buses and local buses included. 

The Citizens’ Pass is valid right from the first night and on your 

arrival or departure day. The number of extra incentives and 

discounts it allows would be difficult to count up. From the car 

park in Saas-Fee to the hiking pass to a legendary evening of 

storytelling: the Citizens’ Pass bestows way over 20 different gifts 

and gratuities. 

The whole bag of tricks can be found at: 

www.saas-fee.ch/buergerpass 

Have fun with the lucrative Citizens’ Pass of the Free Republic of 

Holidays of Saas-Fee!
