The most south-eastern district of the Saas Valley is the idyllic family resort of Saas-Almagell, which has maintained it's typical Valais mountain village charm up until today. Due to its altitude at 1,600 m, the snow conditions are ideal. From the close-by resort of Saas-Fee you can take one of various gondolas to access the ski area. At 3,500 m, at the Mittelallalin, the world's highest rotating restaurant awaits it's guests with an impressive panoramic view of the surrounding mountains. Just one floor below you will find the entry to the 5,000 m³ ice pavilion, which is held at a steady temperature of -1°C and offers an impressive insight into the fascinating world of the thousands of years of existence of the Fee Glacier. After a day's skiing you will find endless possibilities to enjoy yourself in Saas-Almagell: Open-air bars with sun chairs closed to the pistes, but also traditional restaurants in the resort centre, as well as a lively night life.
