Local Glacier Walks for Beginners

For those wishing to experience the unique environment of a glacier without committing to full mountaineering, Saas-Fee offers guided 'easy' glacier walks. These accessible tours, led by local certified mountain guides (not specific company excluded), provide an introduction to glacier travel, teaching basic crampon use and rope safety. Participants can marvel at ice formations, crevasses, and the sheer scale of the Fee Glacier. It's a fantastic way to understand the dynamic nature of these frozen rivers and enjoy stunning views. Tours are typically half-day and suitable for individuals with a reasonable level of fitness, available primarily in summer.
