January: The Capra

Welcome to The Capra Saas-Fee

The five-star superior hotel in the heart of the Valais power village welcomes its guests all year round with timeless style and modern chalet luxury. In the midst of one of the most spectacular mountain landscapes in the world, Saas-Fee is rightly known as "The Pearl of the Alps". With its 18 four-thousand-metre peaks, car-free village center and over 300 days of sunshine, the region offers an incomparable backdrop and a wide range of possibilities all year round. Against this imposing backdrop, The Capra blends harmoniously into the landscape.

The hotel's 38 signature rooms and suites are inspired by the colors of nature and reflect the traditional alpine charm of the region. Local elements and materials, combined with contemporary design, give the entire hotel an inviting and warm atmosphere. The three penthouse suites also have their own fireplace and a breathtaking view of the Alps from the balcony.

Spring in Saas-Fee - skiing and the magic of flowers: Spring in Saas-Fee is a fascinating interplay of snow and blossoming nature. While the meadows in the valleys glow in lush green, ideal conditions for skiers and snowboarders continue to prevail on the Allalin Glacier at 3,600 meters above sea level. Saas-Fee is one of the few areas in Europe where skiing is still possible even in spring - a magical experience that blends winter and springtime feelings.

After a day on the slopes or a hike through the blossoming Alpine valleys, guests at The Capra can enjoy the warm rays of sunshine on the panoramic terrace or relax in the Peak Health Spa.

Summer activities - a paradise for nature and sports lovers: As summer approaches, Saas-Fee is transformed into a true outdoor Eldorado. Hikers and mountaineers will find countless routes that lead through blossoming Alpine valleys, along clear mountain lakes and up to the mighty peaks. One of the most popular activities is the Saas-Fee Panorama Trail, which offers breathtaking views of the surrounding four-thousand-metre peaks.

For the adventurous, the Glacier Hike and the spectacular gorge tour are among the highlights. The Glacier Hike takes you over impressive ice fields, past deep blue crevasses and offers fascinating insights into the alpine glacier world. The gorge tour promises pure thrills: secured by ropes, you will discover the wild beauty of steep rock faces and roaring mountain streams up close.

Mountain bikers appreciate the well-developed trails in the region, while families with children will enjoy the numerous adventure playgrounds and summer toboggan runs. Those who prefer a quieter pace can experience the pure mountain air and the calming power of the Alps during yoga in the great outdoors or on a leisurely walk.

Peak Health Spa - relaxation, health and sustainable balance: The Peak Health Spa at The Capra is not only a place of relaxation, but also an oasis for sustainable well-being. On over 1,000 square meters, guests experience a variety of wellness and health offers inspired by the healing power of the mountains. The spa features an indoor pool, an outdoor hydrotherapy pool, a eucalyptus steam sauna, a Finnish sauna, a salt therapy room, as well as a fully equipped gym, a mind-body studio, three treatment rooms and several relaxation areas. For special moments of privacy, the Private Spa offers an exclusive experience with its own Jacuzzi, steam room and sauna.

Another highlight are the Peak Health Retreats, which go far beyond a classic wellness experience. These individual programs are based on the five pillars of health: reflective habits, restful sleep, mental strength, healthy eating and exercise. The aim is not just to offer short-term relaxation, but to activate self-healing powers and promote lasting changes in participants' lifestyles. This holistic approach makes it possible to integrate the knowledge gained during the retreat into everyday life in the long term. The majestic backdrop of the Valais Alps enhances the effect of the retreats and provides new vitality.

Culinary delights at the highest level - indulgence with a regional touch: The cuisine at The Capra is also inspired by the Alpine surroundings. In the Brasserie 1809, chef Sebastian Walczak treats guests to creative, sustainable dishes. Ingredients from the region and the connection to traditional Swiss recipes are at the heart of his concept - every dish reflects the connection to nature.

Another culinary highlight is the Spielboden mountain restaurant at 2,448 meters above sea level. Accessible by cable car, it not only offers spectacular views, but also an incomparable gastronomic experience.

Saas-Fee and The Capra - an experience for all the senses: The Capra in Saas-Fee is a place where guests can relax, enjoy nature and recharge their batteries. The combination of first-class service, alpine charm, modern luxury and the healing power of the mountains makes The Capra the perfect retreat.
