Saas-Fee is the
main village in the Saastal or the Saas Valley and is a municipality in the district
of Visp in the canton of Valais in Switzerland. The villages in its
neighborhood are Saas-Almagell, Saas-Grund and Saas-Balen. Its location close
to the glaciers of the Dom and the Allalinhorn provides winter sport
opportunities throughout the year and neighbouring peaks such as the Weissmies,
the Nadelhorn and the Lenzspitze are popular climbs in the summer season. The
community is considered to be a very attractive winter sport destination in the
Swiss Alps. Saas-Fee offers 22 lifts, including 3 cable cars, 1 funicular
railway (Metro Alpin), 5 gondolas (1 dedicated to walkers), 2 chairlifts, the
remainder being surface lifts (draglifts).
The message of the telegram is obvious “Come and enjoy Glacier
World”
