Waldhotel Fletschhorn

Time-honoured, established and to those in the know, the Waldhotel Fletschhorn was one of the first hotels to pioneer the original wellbeing escape – a magical location in a pine forest in Saas-Fee, in Switzerland, providing guests with excellent cuisine, to enjoy in captivating surroundings.  Today, Waldhotel Fletschhorn still welcomes guests and following a two-year break in operations, the hotel re-opened in 2022.

The largest summer-ski area in the world and known as ‘The Pearl of the Alps’, Saas-Fee – a two-hour transfer from Geneva and just six kilometres from the Italian border - is special. Since this remote, car-free village has not been allowed to develop in the way that many other Swiss villages have, Saas-Fee is uncannily quiet and uncommercial.  Accessible only by way of electric buggy along a private road, a 15-minute ride from the village, Waldhotel Fletschhorn is the preserve of those in the know. The 100-year-old lodge has a devoted following by those who prioritise peace, privacy, pastoral pursuits, paths to wellbeing, and the promise of eating incredibly well with a wine cellar of over 9,000 bottles of varying vintages.
