Ski Information Beginners
Saas Fee has excellent skiing for beginners with large nursery areas at the edge of the village and an excellent ski school. The Maste 4' blue slopes are wide and sunny and there is some great cruising above the Langfluh.
Ski Information Intermediates
With lots of wide open well groomed pistes, Saas Fee is a paradise for intermediates. The Felskinn area (at 2974m) is a favourite, while the Langfluh (2888m) has some steeper, more challenging runs.
Ski Information Advanced
The glacier offers year round skiing and guaranteed snow with skiing from 3500m. The top of the Felskinn offers some excellent powder skiing and steep and heavily mogulled runs.
Ski Information Snowboarding
For snowboarders there is a good mix of terrain, from open slopes for carving to a well maintained board park for hitting kickers and the pipe. Beginners will find the the nursery slopes and the school excellent for taking those first slides. Intermediates will enjoy the wide open runs and the beginners board park. For the experienced there are some off-pite opportunities and the board park on the glacier is a favourite of some pro teams.
