Pearl of the Swiss Alps

by sandysmith - last update: Jun 20, 2005

Sunny Swiss Alps

Saas Fee and its glaciers
Located at the end of the Saastal, or Saas Valley, at an elevation of 1,800 meters (5,900 feet), the scenic swiss village of Saas Fee is ringed by the Mischabel Range. More than a dozen peaks rise 4,000-plus meters (13,120-feet plus) in an amphitheater-like setting of snow, ice and rock.
No wonder its deservedly coined the "pearl of the Alps".



First visited by us many years ago (just for a few days) we were delighted to return here in the summer of 2004 for a longer stay. The cable-car trips here, the marmots and the high level hiking admist stunning mountain and glacier scenery were wonderful.


Allain
A trip up the Alpin metro to the revolving restaurant beneath the Allain mountain will be a memorable trip.
The marmots here are quite friendly and can be fed - more so in late summer when they are too fat to move fast!

 Incredible scenery has me wondering why I've not been back to Switzerland in nearly ten years now! A great page despite the cable cars. ;)

 Saas Fee looks wonderful!! I've been to Zermatt twice but would like to choose "the other" road now at the junction. I love marmots too!!!
