Welcome to Esprit Ski’s Chalet Hotel Annahof!
The Chalet Hotel Annahof offers an unbeatable mix of the absolute prime location in Saas Fee, beautifully refurbished bedrooms and lounge area, and our Esprit Chalet Hotel catering and service. Our friendly, professional team of staff look forward to welcoming you to Saas Fee and the Chalet Annahof this winter.
Location, location, location!
Saas Fee is a longish village, with all the ski-lifts and slopes at one end, so location here is even more critical than usual, and we are delighted to say that the Chalet Hotel Annahof enjoys the absolutely prime location, with skiing to the doorstep from the foot of the main slopes.
It is equally easy to access the skiing at the start of the day, with the three main high-speed lifts all within only approximately 3 minutes’ walk – see opposite under ‘Ski Area Access’ for details. From the après ski point of view, the main resort high street starts just across the bridge a minute’s walk away, with the inviting bars, cafés and shops of the delightful village centre all conveniently close at hand.
Comfortable Hotel Facilities It is rare indeed to find a hotel owner so completely in tune with the Esprit family holiday concept, that he was prepared to refurbish virtually his entire hotel to suit our guests! But that is exactly what we have found for you here at the Annahof. The original bedrooms have been converted into comfortable, well appointed family suites and bedrooms, offering some of our programme’s very best accommodation. All the attractive suites and bedrooms have private en suite facilities and satellite TV with some English-speaking channels.
The dining-room and bar retain their original, traditional Swiss style, while the newer reception area and small lounge add to the comfort of the communal areas.
Added to all this are the sauna, steam-room and whirlpool spa-bath – the perfect way to relax tired skiing muscles after a long day on the slopes. Equally importantly, we have spacious, purpose-built Nursery and Snow Club rooms, full of fun and games for our younger guests.
Ski Area Access The Chalet Hotel Annahof simply could not be better placed for access to all parts of Saas Fee’s superb ski area.
The Spielboden and Plattjen gondolas are less than 3 minutes walk away (250m), and the Alpin Express only approximately 3 minutes walk (310m). Alternatively, you can take the drag-lift just 2 minutes’ walk away, which connects to the Felskinn cable-car, taking you straight up to 3,000m to start your day.
Equally importantly, wherever you finish your ski day in Saas Fee, runs from all areas can bring you back home to the door of the Annahof’s ski-room.
Beginners also have their own dedicated area just 3 minutes’ walk away across the bridge, and the children’s kindergarten-ski area is just by the gondolas’ base station, and so also less than 3 minutes’ walk away.

Traffic-free Saas Fee It is a joy to savour the charm of Saas Fee’s pretty village centre, completely free of the noise, pollution and road safety hazards of normal traffic, and only the resort’s unique ‘elektro-taxis’ (a little like glorified milk-floats!) hum quietly around the village streets. Coaches are also clearly not allowed into the centre, so on your arrival from the airport, you will be met off the coach by our resort team, including child care staff with spare buggies, at the main entrance to the village. From here it is a gentle 10-12 minute walk along the picturesque main street to the Annahof, enabling our team to point out useful village amenities en route, whilst all your luggage is transported for you directly to the Annahof’s welcoming reception.
