The Ambassador is just across the traffic-free street from the foot of the main slopes. You can ski back virtually to the door in normal conditions, and it is equally easy to access the main high-speed lifts at the start of the day, with the three key main lifts all within about 3 minutes’ walk. The resort high street starts just across the bridge, a minute’s walk away, with the inviting bars, cafés and shops of the delightful traffic-free village centre all conveniently close at hand. Our partner ski-hire shop is also just a couple of minutes’ stroll from the hotel.

The Spielboden and Plattjen gondolas are only about 2 minutes' walk away (150m) and the Alpin Express to the Felskinn area about 3 minutes (300m). Alternatively, just 270m away, a short drag-lift connects to the second Felskinn cable-car, which goes straight up to 3,000m. Runs from all sides bring you back home to just across the street from the Ambassador itself.

Saas Fee Resort Info

Saas-Fee skiing

Neighbour to the illustrious Zermatt, Saas-Fee has some spectacular scenery . Sitting at 1800m, snow in Saas-Fee is all but guaranteed. The skiing is perhaps not quite as challenging as Zermatt's, with most pistes suited more to beginners and intermediates. The ski domain is not that expansive, with only 100km of its own pistes, while the lift is rather inefficient. Snowboarders and freestylers will however find Saas-Fee a pretty good bet, with year round snow park options: the small beginner's park located near the village ski lifts in Stafelwald, the main park is situated in the Morenia area and the summer park in Allalin.

Saas-Fee ski resort

Saas-Fee has maintained more of its alpine village charm than Zermatt, and as an added bonus is traffic-free. There are plenty of off-snow activities with a sports centre, the highest revolving restaurant in the world (3500m) and some good designer ski shops. Après-ski is fine, but restaurants can be a bit below par, as well as a bit expensive.
