Saas Fee, Switzerland

Wow, what's not to like about Saas Fee? The panoramic vistas are impressive, it's car-free, meaning all vehicles have to park at the edge of town (similar to Zermatt, its neighbor on the other side of the mountain) and there's lots to do. In some ski towns visited being hemmed in by mountains left me feeling claustrophobic. Not here. Cycling around the area with my touring bike was enjoyable and imagine it would be even more so with a mountain bike. I did a bit of hiking and it looks like they have trails for every category of hiker. Zermatt caters more to tourists and Sass Fee seems more family-oriented. In the valley floor below one can hop on a train to reach Zermatt. Saas Fee however, has no train service and one needs to take a bus. As normal in most ski resorts, some hotels here close down for the summer season. A wide spectrum of accommodations to choose from in Saas Fee. I was a guest at the Ferienart Resort & Spa and this excellent five star property has no problem getting the two thumbs up from me!
