Saas Fee offers a variety of accommodation options, from self-catered ski chalets to fully catered luxury chalets. Leo Trippi offers a carefully selected portfolio of luxury ski chalets in Saas Fee, ranging from cosy family retreats to expansive chalets for larger groups.

Set at the base of the Dom, Switzerland’s tallest mountain, the car-free village of Saas-Fee oozes authentic charm with its narrow streets lined with old cow sheds. Due to its high-altitude slopes, winters are reliably snowy (and sunny, boasting more than 300 rays a year).
