We love the Saas region. They call themselves the ‘free republic of holidays’ a bit Swiss cheesy but I like it anyway. When you stay here in any accommodation you get access to the gondolas and buses for free. As many times as you like. So it’s awesome for families.
They boast views of 18 mountains that are over 4000m high, and have the worlds highest glacier run. And the ski slopes are 3600m above sea level so you can ski all year round. It was a bit strange seeing skiers walking through the gorgeous, car-free village in 20 degree weather, kitted out with all their gear.
The gondolas etc. close down from October until the winter ski season starts so we decided to gap it to Saas Fee for a couple of days. We stayed in a brand new, massive 3-bedroom apartment in Saas Grund, for a fraction of the price of staying in the Saas Fee village.
Feeding marmots in their natural habitat was probably the highlight for the boys. And walking on a glacier. The playgrounds up in the mountains are worth the trip alone.
