Saas Fee holiday chalet

What an amazing alpine adventure! Arrived in the fairytale town of Saas Fee thanks to perfectly punctual Swiss trains and buses to be greeted by snow, snow, snow! We had heard that Saas Fee was a good resort for keen skiers due to it's altitude/glacier and for familes due its safe town ( no cars - so be prepared to walk everywhere!) and unspoilt Swiss community. It certainly didn't disappoint. Our oldest (6) was thrilled to receive a medal and a cuddly toy at the end of her week at ski school and our youngest (2) was happy to toddle around and play in the snow. Another great hit with all the family was the fantastic ( very warm) public swimming pool - not quite the apris ski we enjoyed before kids....but nevertheless, great fun. The skiing was great for beginners and intermediates and the mountain restaurants were always welcoming.
We were very pleased with the chalet - all mod cons and very comfortable, warm and chic. Perfectly designed for ski-holidays - plenty of room for all the boots/skis/pushchairs etc. downstairs and amazing views in the open plan living/dining area upstairs. A delightful ten minute walk to the bottom of the ski slope through town - if you made it past the bakery without stopping...

We ate in most nights so didn't sample many restaurants but made it out to a traditioanl Swiss style chalet hotel for some good food one night - relaxed and romantic atmosphere.

Overall, really would recommend this resort and chalet to anyone looking for a beautiful, comfortable Alpine retreat. We are already planning our next return!

Easter 2009.This is our 3rd family ski holiday at Chalet 12, Mountain Village. The chalet is situated in a picturesque, quiet area of Saas Fee, close to handy amenities such as a bakery (for the early morning breakfast runs!) and local restaurant. It is also well postitoned for the local 'electric' bus (free in 2009) and taxi routes.

The chalet is very well maintained and finished to a high standard. On each visit we have found a very high standard of cleanliness. The fantastic, open plan living area is spacious and very comfortable, affording great views towards the beautiful ski area and down to Saas Grund in the valley. The bathrooms are excellent, with both the powerful shower on the ground floor and the jaccuzi bath in the master ensuite a welcome relief after a day on the slopes!

For each booking we have made we have found the owner extremely helpful and efficient.

This year our son had ski lessons with Eskimo Ski School, and we would definitley recommend this ski school for being very well organised and friendly. He was in a small group of 5 children and made great progress over the week.

We would also recommend a ride on The Feeblick, a luge/rollercoaster situated near the bottom of the main ski area. The children and adults both loved it!

Saas Fee is a family friendly resort with plenty of options for eating out with the children. We have had a lot of fun in the Kids Snow Park getting both of our youngsters confident on skis. We will definitely be returning to the chalet next year!
