When you picture the Swiss Alps in winter, skiing might be the first thing you imagine. But in Saas-Fee, Europe’s snowiest ski haven, the possibilities go far beyond the slopes.

This car-free, eco-friendly Swiss town is powered entirely by renewable energy, and boasts a wide range of winter activities for skiers and non-skiers alike:

Alpine Skiing on pristine runs suitable for all skill levels, and Freeriding for thrill-seekers chasing untouched snow

Cross-Country Skiing through serene alpine landscapes

Ski Touring to discover hidden mountain gems

Glacier Trekking for an awe-inspiring journey across frozen terrains

After a thrilling day conquering Saas-Fee’s snowy peaks, unwind at The Capra (here), Saas-Fee’s leading 5* wellness hotel.

With just 38 suites and rooms, The Capra offers an intimate and tranquil retreat.

Indulge in modern, healthy Alpine cuisine at the in-house Brasserie 1809, or elevate your experience at Spielboden by The Capra, the hotel’s mountainside restaurant perched at 2,500 meters.

The Capra’s world-class spa (here), run and managed by Peak Health, offers cutting-edge wellness treatments and tailored health retreats to restore and re-energise guests long after a stint in the mountains.
