From Saas Grund a minor road (4km/2mi long, gradient 8% (1 in 12) with two hairpin bends) runs up to the "road terminus", just below Saas Fee (parking lot, parking garage, service garages; no cars beyond this point). The village of Saas Fee (1,798 m/5,899ft), in a magnificent location facing the great Fee glacier, with the peaks of the Mischabel
group towering above it in a wide arc, is a popular health resort, with winter sports (indoor swimming pool, ski-lifts, ice rinks, curling, toboggan run) and climbing. The modern church (1963), with a separate tower, is well adapted to its setting. In the churchyard is the grave of the writer Carl Zuckmayer (1896-1977), an honorary citizen of Saas Fee.
