Ice climbing as a competitive sport is still a relatively new trend, yet Saas-Fee can already look back on numerous successful events. Saas-Fee has been a World Cup venue since 2000 and celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2025. The new anniversary roof (10 m) extends to the ceiling of the car park, reaching a total height of 32 m.
