Fee Glacier, Alpine glacier in Valais, Switzerland

The Fee Glacier extends over 5 kilometers in length and reaches a width of 6 kilometers at its summit, covering a total area of 17 square kilometers.

During the Little Ice Age in the 19th century, the glacier extended to the bottom of the Saas Valley, directly behind the village of Saas Fee.

The glacier provides Switzerland's second largest summer skiing area, attracting winter sports enthusiasts throughout the year to the Saas Fee region.

Two cable cars operate during winter months to access the ski slopes, while one remains functional year-round, connecting to the Metro Alpin funicular.

The glacier features an ice grotto that ranks among the largest of its kind, allowing visitors to explore the internal structure of the glacial formation.
