Alphubel 4,206 m asl

In the southwest of the Saas-Fee basin lies the Alphubel, a massive four-thousand-metre peak covered by a crevasse-rich glacier on the Fee side. The route up the Alphubel leads through a labyrinth of treacherous crevasses.

It is a mountain with two faces: from Saas-Fee it almost looks a bit boring and presents itself as a boring snow hump. From the west, on the other hand, it presents itself as a wild rocky mountain with rugged walls and ridge pillars. On the origin of the name: In the case of Alphubel, which in 1840 was still called Alpenhügel von Fee, the interpretation is simple. Fun fact about the Alphubel: The German photographer, painter and enthusiastic mountaineer Albert Siebenmorgen (1894 - 1978) climbed the Alphubel at the age of 80.

The Fee glacier is a glacier divided into two parts above Saas-Fee on the eastern side of the Mischabel group. It is about 6 kilometres long and covers a total area of 16 km². Large parts of the south Feegletscher belong to the Saas-Fee ski area.
