The 15 best things to do with kids in Saas-Fee

Very nice easy hike even for those like us, overweight and untrained. We reached the small lake and enjoyed the peace and fresh air. I have seen an uncautious guy swim in the freezing water, please don't do that.

In winter, it's your average ski lift station probably. In the summer however, one of the most easily accessible places to observe a glacier up close.

Great place to visit for the views! We came early in the summer season so it was rather quiet but we enjoyed it. The glacier is spectacular, though sadly melting…

Amazing view on the glacier, and beautiful lake which is a perfect mirror for the Allalinhorn

Very nice place 😊

Beautiful place. Fantastic views were great for skiing, and the food was excellent.

Go here with your Saas-card for free, it's amazing

Lovely restaurant with amazing views. We went for amazing hike in the area - see photos.

Stunning views!

Very nice place and very good place for kids

(Translated by Google) As a young family, we went to the Hannig mountain restaurant and can only recommend it. Best view and great children's playground. The personal welcome from the boss, ambience, service and of course the food were a pleasure - everything was perfect. We look forward to your next visit! (Original) Wir waren als junge Familie im Bergrestaurant Hannig und können es nur empfehlen. Beste Aussicht und toller Kinderspielplatz. Persönlicher Empfang vom Chef, Ambiance, Service und natürlich das Essen waren ein Genuss - alles war perfekt. Wir freuen uns auf den nächsten Besuch!

(Translated by Google) A wonderful place for a drink and a bite to eat, but especially for hiking. The western path to Saas Fee or the Hütte is fantastic in summer, with its natural beauty and tranquility. You cross a stream twice (or four times), allowing the sound of the water in the valley to reappear and fade away. (Original) Hele fijne plek om iets te drinken en te eten, maar vooral ook om te wandelen. Het westelijke pad. Naar Saas Fee of de Hütte is geweldig in de zomer met veel natuurlijk schoon en rust terwijl je 2x (of 4x) een bach oversteekt waardoor het geluid van het water in het dal steeds weer tevoorschijn komt en weer wegvalt.

(Translated by Google) Very nice mountain inn, you can go on many mountain hikes from there or have something to eat or drink and then walk comfortably down towards Sass Fee, please bring appropriate equipment such as hiking boots and the like. (Original) Sehr schönes Berggasthaus man kann von dort noch viele Bergwanderungen machen oder gemütlich etwas essen oder Trinken und dann gemütlich hinablaufen Richtung Sass Fee bitte geeignete Ausrüstung wie Wanderschuhe und dergleichen .

(Translated by Google) Very nice restaurant with friendly staff, good food, and a fantastic view! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 The Saaser platter with fine cured ham, bacon, and dried meat is also highly recommended 🙂 (Original) Sehr schönes Restaurant mit freundlichem Personal, gutem Essen und genialer Aussicht! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Sehr zu empfehlen ist auch die Saaser-Platte mit feinem Rohschinken, Speck und Trockenfleisch 🙂

I have visited many places all over the world throughout my life - and yes, been here before a few times - but this must definitely be the most stunning place and mountain scenery I've seen in my whole life!! It leaves me speachless, breathless and makes me feel so utterly peaceful up there ❤️❤️ Sooo stunning!

Superb viewpoint over the surrounding glaciers and the Alps. Mittelallalin has a revolving restaurant and can be accessed year round with cable car and underground metro for the last part. In winter it is the highest point of the ski resort. Alpinist and ski tourers start here the ascent of the Allalin at 4027m.

Breathtaking view. Even in summer, the temperature is low. I would suggest you bringing something to wear.

Breath taking view of just a couple glacier covered 4000+ meter peaks.

Great view of the mountains and good skiing on the way down

I am Dolly from Singapore. I had visited this Allalin IceCave in the late 19th century 1995 or 1998? in the summer. We stayed in Saas Fee for 😀❤️🌿💕🌷🍀💞 3 days. It was a very special, interesting experience. Very beautiful Cave. I seen a lady fell with low heel shoes and sustained no injury. There were ice on the floor, a good walking shoe is necessary. Suddenly, a very nice man come to inform me that we must leave the place that there will be strong wind. We left the IceCave immediately. He was very kind to help me to carry all my baggages. My belated great APPRECIATION and LOVE to him. Hope he is HAPPY and in GOOD HEALTH. Hope to meet him when I visit the Allalin pavillion. I wish to visit the Allalin soon. Wonderful, beautiful Swiss folks. Thank you for all the WONDERFUL engineers, Architecturers, designers......... BEAUTIFUL PEOPLES! ALLALIN, A MASTER PIECE ON EARTH!😀❤️🌺🌿💕🍀🌷💞

Ski in July? Yes, it's possible at 3500 meters high. Starting Saas-fee, a gorgeous mountain location. You can walk on the glacier or climb the Allalin peak at 4000 m...with a guide preferably.

(Translated by Google) We were there with 3 adults and 3 children on March 21st. In 2014 on a climbing tour with our climbing professional Carlo. It was the highlight of our ski vacation from March 16th to March 23rd, 2024. Even skiing was no longer a match! However, you should be sporty for the tour and not be afraid of heights, as you will be traveling quite high at times. Carlo accompanied us brilliantly, explained everything well for the kids and gave us an unforgettable experience. Thank you and see you next time. (Original) Wir waren mit 3 Erwachsenen und 3 Kindern am 21.03. 2014 auf Klettertour mit unserem Kletterprofi Carlo. Es war das Highlight in unserem Skiurlaub vom 16.03.-23.03.2024. Da kam selbst das Skifahren nicht mehr ran! Allerdings sollte man für die Tour sportlich sein und keine Höhenangst haben, man ist doch teilweise recht hoch unterwegs. Carlo hat uns super begleitet, alles bestens auch für die Kids erklärt und uns ein unvergessliches Erlebnis beschert. Vielen Dank und bis zum nächsten Mal.

(Translated by Google) It was a great experience and a lot of fun. It's not without it. The tour guides were great. (Original) War eine super Erfahrung und es hat riesen Spaß gemacht. Es ist schon nicht ohne. Die Tourguides waren super.

(Translated by Google) I was able to do the Gorge Alpin for the second time with Carlo. This year, in winter, with my adult children. Because there was so little snow, it was possible to traverse the entire gorge. Top! My children had no prior knowledge. Carlo gave her great instructions and everything went smoothly. I can only recommend this tour, the landscape is very impressive and the care and support from Carlo was excellent! His calm and very likeable, competent personality makes you feel completely at home. Always happy again. Thank you very much for this perfect day! Nicole Supersaxo (Original) Ich durfte die Gorge Alpin zum zweiten Mal mit Carlo machen. Dieses Jahr, im Winter, mit meinen erwachsenen Kindern. Da es so wenig Schnee hatte, war es möglich, die ganze Schlucht zu durchqueren. Top! Meine Kinder hatten keinerlei Vorkenntnisse. Carlo hat sie super instruiert und alles lief einwandfrei. Diese Tour kann ich nur empfehlen, landschaftlich sehr eindrucksvoll und die Betreuung und Begleitung von Carlo war ausgezeichnet! Mit seiner ruhigen und sehr sympathischen, kompetenten Persönlichkeit fühlt man sich rundum wohl. Immer gerne wieder. Herzlichen Dank für diesen perfekten Tag! Nicole Supersaxo

(Translated by Google) What an experience! I was lucky enough to be traveling alone with Michi. He set up all the elements patiently and very experienced. The mountain guides really let off steam here when they set up all the shenanigans. Be it the Tyroliennes, the suspension bridges, the pendulum or lowering yourself from the bridge into the depths. Definitely do it. Possible for children from 1.30m, no previous experience necessary. Can be done both in winter and summer. (Original) Was für ein Erlebnis! Ich hatte das Glück, mit Michi alleine unterwegs zu sein. Geduldig und sehr erfahren hat er all die Elemente eingerichtet. Hier haben sich die Bergführer so richtig ausgetobt, als sie die ganzen Spielereien eingerichtet hatten. Seien es die Tyroliennes, die Hängebrücken, das Pendel oder das Ablassen von der Brücke in die Tiefe. Unbedingt machen. Für Kinder ab 1,30m möglich, keine Vorerfahrung notwendig. Kann sowohl im Winter als auch im Sommer durchgeführt werden.

(Translated by Google) Great experience. Was a lot of fun. The gorge is very varied and totally safe with a competent guide. Would love to come back. See you next time. 🤙 (Original) Tolle Erfahrung. Hat viel Spass gemacht. Die Schlucht ist sehr abwechslungsreich und mit einem kompetenten Guide total sicher. Kommen gerne wieder. Bis zum nächsten Mal. 🤙

4 starts for a quality seafood and great choice. Prices are including the plate weight automatically making x3 on the margin. Good for business, not so much for customer

Excellent cafeteria food. Fast fresh and tasty. Often busy, small wait for a table. Excellent fresh salad buffet. Great cake and coffee. Delicious fresh cook to order pizza. Great rotisserie chicken and chips.

Decent place on the skislopes for a nice lunch. Not very cheap, but that is common for the whole Switzerland. Food tastes okay, but there are limited (read: no) vegetarian dishes.

Good food, well located at a stop of the Alpin Express. Can be busy, but there are lots of tables. Food is relatively expensive for what you get.

I only tried the salad buffet, but wow, what a surprise! I’ve been to many ski resorts, and I’ve never seen such a massive and diverse salad buffet (normally most stuff from salad buffets in mountain restaurants is canned food, like canned cabbage, beans etc.) but this one was different. There was an impressive selection of salads (and even sashimi fish), and so many other options to choose from. Honestly, it was probably the biggest salad buffet I’ve ever come across—and it was really good! I can’t comment on the other dishes since I didn’t try them, but I noticed a lot of comfort food options like fries with chicken nuggets or sausages. However, for a ski resort restaurant, the variety of salads they offer is fantastic. If you’re a fan of salads or looking for a fresh and healthier option, this place is definitely worth a stop. Highly recommend the salad buffet! 🥗 100 gramm costs 4.50 CHF, which is of course not cheap, but for the chicken niggets with fries you also pay 24.-

I have never seen such an amazing choice of food in any mountain restaurant 😋😍😀 excellent food! Really big restaurant and a bit overcrowded over the lunch time 😍🥂💕

Super Staff...super Location...super Price😍 Always liked to stay and eat here with my ladies and ski tour guests🏂⛷ from all over world and eat from the BIG BUFFET: Liked special the Beef Tartare and Salmon Fish as well the salads with about 10 different virgin oels and vinigar. Sommer closed and I hope to see them again the next Winter season👍🏿👍🏻😍 Peter HTMi Hotel&Tourism Managment Institute🇨🇭 and Free Spirit Hostel Lärchenheim Saas-Balen near Saas-Fee IG: @renepeter57

Really beautiful location that feels more authentically Swiss! We hiked the Jegihorn via ferrata and loved the scenery! The cable car staff are extremely kind and generous. It is clear they love the area! Definitely recommend all the recreation this amazing spot has to offer!

The ride up from Kreuzboden Gondelstation (reached by Gondelbahn Saas-Grund - Kreuzboden in Saas-Grund Dorf) to Hohsaas is quite impressive, with the landscape morphing from lush green pastures into barren, lifeless ridges. Still, once you step outside the cable-car, the scene is breathtakingly beautiful, with snow covered walls on one side and rocky terrain on the other side. No need to take your water flask with you, as melted snow see to it that there is a constant flow of fresh, sweet and cool drinking water. For the more adventurous type, there are a variety of routes that will reveal even more picturesque panoramas. For these you will need to come prepared with climbing gear, warm clothing and hot water flask...

Wonderful staff operating the cable car is super helpful and super friendly. We rode the cable car to hike the Jegihorn via Ferrata and the staff was super kind and squeezed us into the cable car after our hike, right at closing time!

Few flowers because of the impact of skis' piste. The whole track return ticket cost less than combing two half tracks. The parking has expensive price (15 CHF the whole day) and the is only an autonat test accept only coins or notes of serious franc, beware to have enough with you

Magical place. Take the cable car to be mesmerized by 4000-er peaks 🏔

friendly staff, excellent service, amazing views all around

Absolutely the most beautifal view point in Saastal. Amazing view on Mischabelkette and Weismiess by Hohsaas.

Unforgettable experience in a fabulous landscape. I found this mountain coaster very thrilling and nicely placed in the forest.

Funny!

Great ride in a beautiful setting. If you go top speed you'll feel some Gs on the turns and there is one really nice drop where you feel weightless. Not at all crowded on a nice Saturday afternoon either...had the track to myself.

A fun mountain coaster for relatively cheap and no line.

Nice bobsled-like ride where you will be hauled up and pilot a carriage down the track. Great for kids. Smaller kids can ride with an adult in the same carriage.

Very fun!

Great fun for kids and adults. Completely safe, but pumps adrenaline a lot. Recommended.

Spectacular spot and starting point for a hike to the Brittannia Hut SAC. Ground station for Metro Alpin. Worlds Highest metro.

So nice

Nice

It's very beautiful

Stunning!

(Translated by Google) There is a store at this stop where you can eat and rest. You can also hike on the ice field. It is beautiful! (Original) 這一站有商店可以吃東西休息 也可以走上冰原健行 很美！

Excellent. Loz trained me on a Gap course for my BASI Level 1 & 2, and then again, the following winter on an ISIA course for my BASI Level 3. He was an amazing teacher, whose preparation made the BASI exams easy. He tells you exactly what you need to do to improve, and has made all areas of my skiing miles better. As well as improving my skiing he made me a good instructor as he is a vastly experienced instructor who genuinely cares about you succeeding. Loz is a great bloke and I cannot recommend TSA highly enough!

I trained with Loz prior to TSA being established, over the 2017/18 winter season, based in Saas- Fee. At that time I had made the move from a background primarily focused on racing to the world of instructing. This was a difficult move as instructing tended to encapsulate a far wider variety of skills within the sport itself. I found Loz to be the perfect mentor when developing my skills as an instructor. With an extensive history within teaching, Loz was able to develop my skiing dramatically within a single season. I began training with Loz's ISIA program in December 2017 and by April 2018 I had made significant improvements in all aspects of my skiing. I could not more highly recommend TSA!

I have been training with Loz over the last couple of years or so. Not only is he a great and a kind guy full of energy, he is also a superb trainer with tons of patience and is very supportive. He knows how to get the best out of you and keep on motivating you and knows how to give you the exact kind of drills/exercises etc. that will increase (also challenge you) your skill level and see real improvement. Thoroughly enjoyed training with him! (Heidi)

I did the ISIA training course with Loz. I was blown away by how great a teacher he was! He has a huge passion for the sport and that really shone through. Loz delivered a course which was tailored to my individual needs. My ability and knowledge of skiing improved dramatically. Overall an absolutely brilliant course!

Had Loz as a trainer for my gap course this year. Easily the best and most experienced trainer that I’ve ever had. Would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to elevate their skiing to the next level

I trained with Loz through the winter seasons from 2016 to 2019 which encapsulated me training towards and passing my BASI level 2 and then going on to train towards the standard required for ISIA (level 3) Loz is an excellent ski coach and conversations with him reveal the depth and breadth of his knowledge of skiing and the sports science that goes with it. He is however always able to put these points across in clear language which allow the audience to understand the core message. Across the years that i ski’d with Loz my skiing, and understanding of skiing, improved hugely and I would recommend him to anyone looking to Improve for any reason.

I’ve been training with Loz over a couple of years now every time I go to Saas on vacation and he’s not only super nice and fun to be around, he helped me advance my skills a lot. Only ever had great experiences with him as a a trainer, it’s always the right balance of feeling safe and comfortable and challenged at the same time. Highly recommend him, no matter how good of a skier you are!!

Looooooong waiting times. We had to wait for two hours and then got cold and half cooked food. Recomend to go to other restaurants nearby.

I wanted my son to brush up on his skiing this August after his travel baseball season ended in July. He played football last school year but decided to join the high school ski team this winter. Since he hadn't skied very often the last couple seasons I contacted Ski Zenit and asked if they could help him shake off the rust. Since this is a camp for experienced ski racers we opted for a 5 day private lesson on the Saas Fee glacier. Rich was my Ski Zenit contact and he couldn't have been more accomodating. He planned our transportation from Geneva and laid out everything we would need to be prepared and make this excursion a success. My son's ski instructor, Chris, sent us daily videos and kept us informed of his progress. He improved dramatically over the week and we couldn't be happier with his progress. Way to go Ski Zenit!

Had a great experience taking lessons with Chris! He taught us so much in two days; I felt much more confident after just our first lesson. Chris was able to tailor the lessons very well to everyone’s skill level, and took us to a variety of terrains where we practiced and improved on various techniques. I would 10/10 recommend Chris and Ski Zenit if you want to improve your skiing and have fun doing it!

Amazing lesson- my first time to take private lessons. Finally after years of trying to learn I feel more confident! My instructor, Max, was fantastic! Patient and great company. He made it look so easy. The staff had excellent communications before we arrived as well. Highly recommended.

I had an incredible experience with Ski Zenit! After 28 years away from skiing, I decided to book a private lesson, and I was lucky enough to have Chris as my instructor. His teaching approach was clear, patient, and highly effective. In just one session (2.5h), he taught me the essential skills I needed to move forward confidently. Chris made everything easy to understand and apply, and his encouragement was incredibly motivating. I can't recommend Ski Zenit and Chris enough – if you're looking to improve or get back into skiing, this is the place to start!

I had an amazing experience with Max as my ski instructor! He was incredibly patient and kind throughout the lesson, always encouraging me and making me feel comfortable. Max helped me regain my confidence on the slopes, and thanks to his expert guidance, I managed to conquer an icy red slope without fear. I couldn't have done it without him! Highly recommend Max to anyone looking to improve their skiing skills or just enjoy their time on the slopes. Thank you, Max!

We booked the trainer Ellen for 1 week. We had so much fun and where able to ski on the first day. Ellen is quit and very professional. We had really a great time. The video shows Ellen and our daughter. We will definitely come back to Zenit School and hopefully Ellen. Kind regards, Marco, Daniela and Anna.

We had a fantastic experience with Zenit. Our instructor Tim was brilliant, super patient, fun and helpful. The children said he’s the best instructor they’ve ever had, and they have both made huge progress. The whole team at Zenit were so and accommodating. I highly recommend this company - 5 stars!

This was my first time skiing for me and my daughter. Our instructor Asbjorn was very patient and friendly. But above all he gave us confidence, so we improved rapidly and made us even doing a short red piste being completely in control.

Great experience with the booking and ski instruction too. Ash was really considerate but pushed me to realise my potential. I really did learn from Ash and put this into practice while skiing with the family and friends in the afternoon. With best wishes, Yvonne

I had the privilege of having Darcey as my ski Instructor during my time in Saas-Fee. I really felt encouraged and my confidence improved massively throughout the week (Her patience was remarkable!) I cannot recommend her enough, Thank you Darcey!

Thank you so much Darsey, our top professor.. Very much accommodating, always wears a smile though I’m doing some errors. She never gets tired of giving me some tips on how to ski well…etc etc… Very well recommended… for the first timers or even people who wants to learn more… she’s the best instructor you will ever have.. Bravo Darsey 👍👏

Great instructors and very helpful teaching approach for adults of all levels and kids. They provide good theories and tips on techniques. Many thanks for the lessons!

My son and I had an awesome private ski lesson from Mat. He was super courteous, patience, competent instructor. He let us have our own pace (never pushy) yet taught us all the basic principles and forms as well as important tips such as you never look down or look at your skies when skiing. He made sure we got our forms down correctly and challenged us to improve our forms. He made our time so worthwhile and fun. By the end of the session, we both felt confident and highly satisfied with our day. I highly recommend him for your ski lessons! Thank you so much Mat!

Very friendly, professional and enthusiastic young team with international experience guides and instructors 👍🏻 The Office Team of the ski school will definitely find the best fit & options for your requests! You gonna feel welcome and appreciate for making best out for f your winter sport holiday in Saas-Fee!

Everything was great, my son had lessons with Christa she was wonderfull. Really organized. Kids were enjoying the whole week, and learn a lot of stuff. Thank you for everything. Regards from my son Milan. He says CHRISTA IS THE BEST!

This ski school is really great. Our kids thoroughly enjoyed the instructors, who not only taught them skiing skills but also ensured they had a wonderful time. Definitely recommended for a positive learning experience.

I had the absolute pleasure of learning to ski with Juan, and I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. As a complete beginner, I was nervous, but from the very first lesson, he made me feel at ease. His ability to read us like an open book—knowing exactly when we were stressed, scared, or unsure—was incredible. Juan adapted his teaching style perfectly to our needs, offering the right balance of encouragement, patience, and technical guidance. He never rushed us but also knew when to push just enough to help us improve. His calm and reassuring presence made such a difference, and by the end of our lessons, I felt much more confident on the slopes than I ever expected and most of all, he helped me conquer my fear! If you’re a beginner (or even beyond) looking for an instructor who truly cares about your experience and progress, I can’t recommend Juan highly enough. Thank you for making our ski trip so memorable!

Used several times of the years. A really nice school and the official Swiss one. Very friendly and helpful. Eunice taught our 8yr old son and was amazing. Had one instructor that wasn’t so great for a private adult lesson / seemed disinterested and didn’t learn anything. I just put that down to bad luck but there are also other good schools to try.

Saas fee ski school was absolutely incredible . From booking and answering our questions to the INCREDIBLE instructor Dario who helped make my daughter’s entire holiday. He clearly takes a lot of pride in his job and it shows. It was a true joy to watch our daughter not only learn to ski but to fall in love with it. We cannot wait to come back.

Had several private lessons with Aran who was great. Twice we had trainees join us which was great as it meant a little bit more supervision. Correspondence by email before we booked was great too.

I got snowboard group lessons from this school in this year. That is why, I visited Saas - Fee and came from Dublin/Ireland. I got level 1 in Avoriaz - France last year and wanted to get level 2 - 3 in Saas - Fee / Switzerland. I bought level 3 but lessons were over of my level. I should have bought level 2. Slopes are too sharp in Switzerland. I had hard time while I tried to do U - Turns on sharp slopes. I decided to reduce my level to level 2 from level 3 on last day. I worked with two different instructors during trainings. Second instructor attitude was very nice but I won’t be able to say that first instructor attitude was nice. I sometimes got stubborn answer. Such as: - You heard what did I say! Please respect! I fell in T - Bar Lift twice, they waited me, I requested to rest 2 minute: - I can not wait anymore! I waited long enough! - You should be able to use T - Bar Lift! You go to subgroup tomorrow etc. In addition, before they gave the certificate, they asked me will I come again or not! Probably, cerficate book quantity was not enough and they gave the certificate book which was left for someone else instead of him/her! Furthermore, they should separate the group lessons according to their ages. Adult groups should be different from the kids. They could create adult groups, separately. My experience was not so bad but not good as well! It was not like training that I got in Avoiraz! Res
