City break in Saas-Fee. Active leisure ideas for Saas-Fee - attractions, recreation and nightlife

You should keep in mind that the movement of personal cars is completely prohibited in the village. Keep this in mind when choosing a hotel in Saas-Fee. The settlement occupies a rather large territory. Therefore, if you choose a hotel that is poorly located, you will have to walk several kilometers to the ski lifts. Or you'll have to wait for an electric car that runs through the village. But if you want to expand the ski area and go to the neighboring Saas-Grund and Saas-Almagell, you just have to wait for the bus. It is free for ski pass holders. You can also call a taxi.

The highest-altitude metro in the world is a feature of the local transport system. Metro Alpin is located between Felskinn and Mittelallalin at an altitude of 3000-3500 meters above sea level. This is 20 meters higher than the underground funicular in France's Les Deux Alpes, which is the second-highest altitude. Its highest station is located at 3,400 meters above sea level. The Metro Alpin step car can accommodate up to 115 people. The journey duration is just less than one and a half kilometers. The car covers the entire route in a little less than three minutes. Commemorative cards of various subways of the world are placed at the top station.

There are ski schools for adults in the village. They are intended for those who have only recently started skiing and are not confident in their skiing skills. You can practice skiing at the Schweizer Ski-und Snowboardschule Saas-Fee or Eskimos Snowboard School. Classes are held both in groups of two or three hours a day and individually from one hour to the whole day. Experienced instructors work there. Many of them have medals from national and international competitions. There are also small snow parks for practicing all the basic skiing skills in each school. A discount on the ski pass is available to those who only use the ski lifts above the resort. They lead to the simplest routes designed for beginners. Copyright www.orangesmile.com

You can ski at the glacier all year round. The ski season lasts in other places from November to May. If you are a fan of free-ride and don't like marked tracks, you should be careful while on the glacier. There is a risk of falling into one of the many but inconspicuous cracks here. The slopes from Felskinn and Langfluh, marked in red, are suitable for skiers with average skiing experience. The Felsental black descent is suitable for experienced athletes. This is a steep not very long section above Spielboden. Experienced skiers can also go on a professional track in the Plattjen sector. If you are not completely confident in your abilities, you can go around the steepest lower part of the route on the blue Waldweg track.

If you prefer off-piste skiing you will have to get up early to get off at the Metro Alpin intermediate station. Only the first train of the day stops there. You can go down from there to Saas-Almagell. The height difference is one and a half kilometers. The route itself is intended for very experienced skiers and snowboarders. The ski bus runs regularly from Saas-Almagell to Saas-Fee. You will not be able to get up late if you come to ski on the glacier in July and August. Prevention is already ending on the lifts at this time. But it's not too comfortable to ski after two o'clock in the afternoon. Some of the slopes are melting. Various European teams train here in the summer. Therefore, you can watch the process of preparing professionals for the winter season from the front rows. Trails not only for mountain skiing but also for cross-country skiing are located near Saas-Fee. There are eight of them here. Therefore, everyone can find a track that matches his skills and physical fitness. There is a toboggan run for fans of fun and exciting entertainment. Its length is five and a half kilometers.

There is also Feeblitz rail bobsleigh track here. If you like this kind of entertainment you should buy a guest card. A subscription for 10 descents will be 10% cheaper in this case. A snowboard park opens on the Allalin Glacier in the summer. Half pipes also function at the Mittagjoch and Egginerjoch surface lifts. If you get tired of skiing you can try skating. The spacious ice rink is open every day. You can relax from the dizzying descents at the Freizeitzentrum Bielen & AquaWellness center. There is a sauna, a Turkish bath, and a swimming pool there.

If you want a thrill, you should go through Gorge Alpine. This is a roped route. It consists exclusively of rope bridges and "Tyrolean traverses". This route is laid out in beautiful places. Please note that it is forbidden to pass it independently. You can go to conquer the gorge only with a mountain guide. The passage of rope segments of different lengths in Adventure Park will be less extreme. There are several hundred hiking trails of varying difficulty near Saas-Fee in the warmer months.
