Considering owning a chalet in Saas-Fee? Here are answers to frequently asked questions about purchasing, managing, and experiencing life in this breathtaking retreat. If you have additional questions, feel free to enquire—we’re here to assist you every step of the way.
How do I get to Saas-Fee?
Saas-Fee is just three hours from Geneva or Zurich, two and a half hours from Milan, and two hours from Sion by train. The final leg of your journey is a 35-minute scenic bus ride from Visp. Private transfers are easily arranged. While there is a parking lot at the village entrance, the village itself is car-free, preserving its peaceful alpine charm.
Can foreigners buy property in Saas-Fee?
Yes, foreigners can purchase real estate in Saas-Fee, but Swiss regulations impose certain restrictions on the size and type of property available to non-residents. Navigating these rules can be complex, which is why working with a dedicated Saas-Fee chalet property manager is essential.
Some properties in the region are exclusively reserved for Swiss nationals or residents who pay taxes in Switzerland. However, we offer a curated selection of chalets that are available to both Swiss buyers and foreign residents holding a B or C permit (including EU nationals). Let us guide you through the process and ensure a seamless acquisition of your dream chalet in the Alps.
What kinds of chalets are available for sale?

What costs should I consider?
Beyond the purchase price, budget for notary fees (2-3%) and property transfer taxes (1%). Annual costs include maintenance, snow removal, and utilities. We provide full transparency on all associated expenses.
Can I rent out my chalet when I’m not using it?
Absolutely. Many owners generate significant rental income, particularly in peak ski season.

What activities does Saas-Fee offer?
Saas-Fee is a destination that captivates in every season. In winter, carve through pristine powder on world-class ski slopes, venture off-piste for a thrilling 1,350-meter descent, or embark on a moonlit sledging adventure under a canopy of stars. Challenge yourself with ice climbing on frozen waterfalls, or push your limits in the Adrenalin Cup’s speed, slalom, and glacier races.
When summer arrives, the landscape transforms into a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. Ski on the glacier, hike panoramic mountain trails, zipline over the dramatic Saas Valley, or scale towering rock faces. Take a leisurely stroll through the village, where flower-adorned chalets and winding streets offer a storybook charm.
Unwind in a five-star wellness retreat, complete with steam rooms, sauna, hydrotherapy pools, and private spa treatments. Savor craft beers at a rustic alpine brewery, or sip fine Swiss wines in an intimate tasting room. For an unforgettable dining experience, ascend to Allalin—the world’s highest revolving restaurant at 3,500 meters—before ending your evening in a sophisticated après-ski lounge or high-end eatery.
