The aims of the Para-Alpine Skiing initiative

The Para-Alpine Skiing initiative was developed in close collaboration between the Swiss Ski School Saas-Fee, Eskimos and Ski Zenit to offer people of all abilities a safe and unforgettable experience on the piste.

Saas-Fee, often regarded as one of the most breathtaking ski areas in the Alps, previously had limitations in resources and equipment for people with reduced mobility wanting to ski, so this initiative bridges that gap by making skiing more accessible and visible in Saas-Fee, ultimately encouraging more disabled skiers to experience everything the resort has to offer.

To further strengthen our commitment, we are also a member of the OK:GO initiative through the Saas-Fee Tourist Office which aims to ensure that every tourism provider in Switzerland makes information about the accessibility of their offer available to the public.
