SWITZERLAND: Saas Fee

Peaks of Allalinhorn, Alphubel, & Dom rise above Saas-Fee, seen from Gspon Hohenweg, Saas Valley, Valais canton, Switzerland, Europe

Saas-Fee village, seen from hiking the Gspon Hohenweg in Switzerland (9 miles, 2650 feet ascent, 1063 ft descent). From left to right are: Allalinhorn; Alphubel peak; and Dom (4,545 m or 14,911 ft), the main summit of the Mischabel group (German: Mischabelhörner), which is the highest massif lying entirely within Switzerland. Tips: Start with the earliest bus from Saas-Fee to Stalden-Saas bus stop. Buy a one-way ticket to the top of the Stalden- Gspon Luftseilbahn (Cable Car). The hike ends by taking Kreuzboden gondola down to Saas Grund, where a bus ascends to Saas-Fee. Saas-Fee is the main village in the Saastal, (Saas Valley), in the district of Visp, canton of Valais, in Switzerland, Europe. The village perches on a high mountain plateau at 1,800 meters (5,900 feet) elevation, surrounded by 13 peaks above 4,000 meters (13,123 feet). This classic ski resort features a car-free city center and well-preserved Swiss wood architecture.
