An adventure of a special kind: certainly not an every day experience! A journey into the "underworld" of the Fee Glacier. Experience the glacier ice from close up: close enough to touch! The ice pavilion on Mittelallalin above the glacier village Saas-Fee makes this phenomenal experience possible. It's definitely worth a visit. Step directly off the Alpine Metro’s mountain station at 3500 m above sea level into the eternal ice of the Fee Glacier. An incomparable ice pavilion awaits you there in which you will find an interesting and extensive exhibition on the subject of "glaciers".
