Peak Leaders Saas Fee

Welcome to Saas Fee! Saas Fee is a fantastic all year round resort. The village is circled by 13 4000 metre peaks and is known as the pearl of the Alps. We've got the best coaches to prepare you for your Level 1 exam. This is usually in Week 3 of the course, meaning you still have plenty of time to develop you skiing or snowboarding for your Level 2 exam. Included in the cost is a first aid course and avalanche awareness, ski/snowboard maintenance clinic.

 Why Choose this course?

9 week course - start your season in September and get qualified before the winter kicks off:

This course finishes at the end of November - you can put your new instructor status into practise straight away! We suggest you start applying for jobs at the beginning of the course. Ask us for help on this. Saas Fee is a stunning, high altitude resort about 3 hours from Geneva. During the autumn it's a mecca for ski and snowboard teams using the glacier for pre season training. Whilst you're completing your training you will see some of the best pros in the world in the park and international race teams in the gates.

The resort has a pretty chilled vibe during the autumn, but there's plenty to do. There's a variety of restaurants, bars, a fantastic sports centre, as well as tennis courts, zip lines, football pitches - you can do as much or as little as you want when you're not on the mountain.
