Saas- Fee
Despite the heat in the Rhone valley in summer, you will have the best conditions for skiing and snowboarding in the Saas-Fee ski area. Skiing in very pleasant temperatures on 20 kilometres of varied glacier pistes is great fun in summer. Both national and international ski teams train in the summer ski area. In summer and in particular in autumn, the area is a meeting place for snowboarders, who show off their skills in the park. There are two lines of kickers: three small kickers, three big kickers with a 5- and a 9-metre table and adjoining them a quarter-pipe and a corner wall at the Snow Park. The half-pipe is located in the middle of the park. ...and for the snowboard expert: The various rails will really appeal to thrill-seekers: a straight, a triple kinky rail and a rainbow. All-rounders can test their skills in the boardercross. Saas - Fee
