ENJOY MOUNTAIN MAGIC WITH YOUR HEAD IN THE STARS
The blissful sound of silence, the awe-inspiring light of the stars, the infinite space above the clouds: those who have experienced the magic of the mountains usually struggle to find the words to describe it. And most generally use just one: amazing!
The Saas Valley’s 18 majestic 4,000-metre peaks are rather like the big top at a circus, drawing visitors in with the promise of spectacle and wonder. A display of light and colour – enchanting and mysterious, soothing and enticing, with relaxing and invigorating moments – bewitches visitors of all ages, with each taking away their own special memories. This circus in the moun-tains is an arena of boundless fascination!
The curtain rises on a magical summer in the moun-tains! With your mind in the stars and your feet on the magic mountains of Saas-Fee.
Welcome to the Free Republic of Holidays!
The Department of Relaxation and Magic.
