Ski holidays Saas-Almagell - the lovely family resort!

Saas-Almagell

Even the journey through the Saas Valley with its deep gorges and steep mountain slopes is impressive. The southernmost municipality in the Saas Valley is the idyllic family resort of Saas-Almagell, which has retained the character of a typical Valais mountain village to this day. Located at an altitude of approximately 1,672 metres, the municipality boasts excellent snow conditions. You can access the Saas-Almagell ski area with 15 kilometres of slopes directly from the village.

From nearby Saas-Fee, various gondolas provide direct access to the glacier ski area. At 3,500 metres, the Mittelallalin is home to the "Allalin", the highest revolving restaurant in the world, offering fantastic views of the mountain panorama. One floor below is the entrance to the 5,000 m² ice pavilion, which offers fascinating insights into the world of the millennia-old Fee Glacier at a constant temperature of -1°C. After skiing, Saas-Almagell offers a wide range of options: open-air bars with deckchairs near the slopes, cosy traditional restaurants in the village centre and a lively nightlife.

Surrounded by 18 four-thousand-metre peaks, the panorama of the Saas Valley is absolutely breathtaking! The lifts reach up to 3,573 metres and open up a panorama of 146 kilometres of slopes of all levels of difficulty. The famous "Metro Alpin", the highest underground funicular railway in the world, takes you under the glacier to Mittelallalin, where a magnificent mountain backdrop awaits you. The ski area is also extremely attractive for international guests, as it is home to the Allalin Race, for example. Held at the end of the season, it is the longest downhill race in the world, from 3,573 m down to the village at 1,800 m!

The four villages at the foot of the slopes are well connected by bus, so you can make the most of your day's skiing. Each village has its own unique charm: there are family-friendly, down-to-earth villages with cosy houses in the Valais chalet style, as well as villages characterised by lively après-ski. You're sure to find plenty of variety here!
