The village of Saas-Balen
Saas-Balen lies at the entrance to the Saas Valley at 1400 metres above sea-level. It is the perfect place for people who prefer things a little quieter and like to spend their holidays far away from the hustle and bustle. Saas-Balen has maintained its rustic village character, but proudly boasts two striking features: the Fellbach waterfall and the late baroque round church.

Visitors' tax, guest cards and guest honour
In Switzerland you pay a visitors' tax, and you may wonder what happens to the money. The visitors' tax is used by the tourist associations for the improvement of the infrastructure (for example maintenance of hiking trails, children's playground, park benches, signpost, visitors' animation programmes. etc.) The Saas-Fee visitors' tax is included on your bill at the en of you stay.
