Paralympian, Elite Athlete at British WeightliftingAs a Paralympian, I’ve had the privilege of working in and around many initiatives designed to open doors within the para community. Each has its own impact, but what stands out about Saas-Fee is the way they combine opportunity with genuine care. The people behind it are not only highly skilled but also deeply kind, creating an environment where participants feel supported, included, and free to truly enjoy the experience the mountains can offer. Para-Alpine Skiing isn’t just about sport – it’s about fun, freedom, building confidence and I’m proud to endorse the work they’re doing.

Chairman, Snowbuddies UKSaas Fee is a picture postcard, vehicle free Swiss ski resort with ski slopes to suit all abilities. Skiing there with a disability is made easy by Para-Alpine Skiing, a group of 3 ski schools with dedicated and qualified instructors who have access to a wide range of Tessier ski equipment including Mono, Duel and Kart ski. Definitely a resort that makes memories for disabled skiers.
Sarah Wilcox
founder of Maia Ski, Zermatt and BASI TrainerI met Mike Laurenson during his participation as a candidate in the BASI Adaptive Level 2 exam. Over the past two years, he and the team in Saas Fee have worked diligently to establish the adaptive ski school there and to compile a diverse range of adaptive ski equipment. Their enthusiasm and dedication to adaptive snow sports is admirable.
Having another adaptive ski school in Valais is very exciting, and their extensive equipment ensures that skiing is accessible to more people. I look forward to supporting and collaborating with them in the near future.
