This chalet is primarily our own family chalet which we use in winter and summer. When we do not use the chalet we offer it for rent and we expect our guests to look after it as if it was their own. Everything we use is left for the guests to use, and this will include, coffee and tea, oil, vinegar, spices and similar, that we have used. And we encourage our guests to leave whatever is left over for the next user. Books, maps, DVDs, everything is the same for us and for our guests.
We have unlimited internet, a small desk, all in one printer, spare paper and ink cartridges, various electrical connectors which we use when we "work from home" from the chalet. So we recommend it if you need to work from home. Members of our family do it very often. A perfect place to mix pleasure with being a digital nomad.
Access to ski lifts is on foot (~800 m) or by free bus. If you do not want to bring your skis home every day there are many storage facilities at the bottom of the slopes, and a lovely walk to the chalet.
There is a separate piste and lift exclusively for sledging and additionally that piste is lit and open one evening a week.
Skiing is possible at several other lift systems in the Valley or in Zermatt (about 45 min by car, bus or train). When buying ski passes there is choice of various ski areas. Various ski passes schemes are offered every year and it is well worth checking the current offer in advance.
Several ski schools operate and the resort is very popular with snow borders. There are extensive facilities for children.
Summer activities are as good as the winter ones, some will say even better! Biking is popular in all its variations, walks of all degrees of difficulty, and many other activities are offered in Saas Fee and vicinity. Very popular are tours with private guides to the more challenging peaks.
