About
Saas-Fee is a car-free glacier resort in the Swiss Valais, ringed by thirteen peaks above 4,000 meters and known as the Pearl of the Alps. The village sits at about 1,800 meters, and the Metro Alpin, the world's highest underground funicular, carries skiers up to 3,500 meters on the Allalin Glacier. The glacier holds snow through the summer, making this one of the few Alpine areas with year-round skiing.
