Brig and Saas-Fee Village Switzerland Summer – Old Castle and Swiss Alps [Travel Guide]

The Canton of Valais is one of the most visited regions of Switzerland. It’s a great place to go for a road trip. Very nice is to visit the old city of Brig with its prominent Stockalper Castle. The castle is a historic piece that today is a local tourist attraction. The Stockalper Castle charms with its many arcades and the three towers with their onion shapes domes. Definitely visit the castle, take many photos and roam around the old city of Brig. It’s in general less-touristy but the locals are going to provide some great vibes! Then head towards Saas-Fee. You may take either the bus or then ascend by car. Make sure to stop at Saas Balen. Over there are the Fellbach waterfalls, a true hidden gem of this touristy region. The Fellbachfalls easily may rank among the most beautiful waterfalls of Switzerland and serve as a great photographic spot! Head then to the village of Saas-Fee and explore the town by walk. Saas-Fee is car-free, which is the reason why there is such an authentic holiday spirit up there. The village has many traditional wooden houses, alleys, streets and even a canyon to explore. The most beautiful part of Saas-Fee is at the rock with the many old wooden houses. This part is definitely a must-visit! Take a time out at one of the many restaurants or the hotels Walliserhof or the Capra. Having a cheese fondue is quite nice, especially when sitting outside on a terrace, while watching the sunset and overseeing the village at dusk. Do explore the village of Saas-Fee during dusk and night, the colors are going to be very vibrant. Take the budget travelers option by going up to the Hannig lookout by cable car. The Hannig is a less-known tourist attraction of Saas-Fee. You will have a great view over the village, the many peaks of the Swiss Alps as well as the many glaciers present. From the Hannig, you may start a hike; going down to Saas-Fee and approaching the wall with the glaciers. Saas-Fee is considered being the village of the glaciers, thanks to which it became a tourist magnet in Switzerland. Also quite fun to try out would be the Feeblitz alpine rollercoaster, which is going to seal your trip up with some thrill! All in all, Saas-Fee is a wonderful place, it’s one of the most beautiful villages of Switzerland and one of the best locations to visit in the Swiss Alps!
