The Capra

At The Capra, I would pause by the fire before leaving the spa.

A week here, month by month

In Penthouse Suite, I would light the gas fireplace. With a separate living room, reading can continue after the other person has gone to bed.

Is it for you?

For 2, I would look for a Signature Double with a bath. Here, the bath is inset between the stone walls.

8 min readHow we write the guide

  1. The skis stay at the cabin

    Skis and boots can stay in the private cabin beside the cable car, with heated lockers. On returning, you can call the driver for a pickup or walk back to the hotel in no more than 10 minutes.

  2. Bringing your dog

    A dog costs CHF 45 a night, excluding food. I would send the breed and weight before arrival: Brasserie 1809 allows dogs only in designated places.

  3. Room time

    The room is available from 3pm and must be vacated by 12pm. To guarantee it before 3pm, the hotel requires the preceding night to be booked at full price.

What The Capra is

The Capra brings together 38 rooms and suites in 3 connected chalets in Saas-Fee. The interiors use wood-panelled walls and tweed fabrics. Its name draws on the black-and-white goats of the valleys and peaks around the village.111

How we choose the hotels

The 5 things that matter, as guests tell them

What do The Capra’s guests say? They write it in their reviews, even those who only came for a drink or dinner: we read every one and tell the 5 things that matter, from the location to the bill.

  1. Location

    9 in 10 guests who mention it are happy with it. The quiet village and the mountains around the hotel are among the reasons guests would return.

  2. Room

    9 in 10 guests who mention it are happy with it. Rooms earn praise for their carefully designed interiors, cleaning and comfort.

  3. Staff and service

    9 in 10 guests who mention it are happy with it. The care can continue after departure: in April 2025, a forgotten jacket was mailed back to the United States with a note.

  4. Breakfast

    9 in 10 guests who mention it are happy with it. The à la carte breakfast is appreciated for the speed of service too.

  5. Price

    Even a guest who enjoys the spa can find the cost of a massage too high.

Where The Capra leads

  • Room

    On the room it shares first place with Hotel Allalin among the 4 hotels compared in Saas-Fee and, as a regional comparison, Zermatt.

  • Staff and service

    On staff and service it comes ahead of the 3 other hotels it is compared with in Saas-Fee and, as a regional comparison, Zermatt.

153 guests said so on Google, from 9 January 2024 to 17 October 2026. The other hotels are the ones weighed for a stay in Saas-Fee and, as a regional comparison, Zermatt: for each we read its latest 500 Google reviews with text, or all of them where there are fewer, as of 23 October 2026. The score is the average of what they say, from 0 if they speak of it very badly to 10 if they speak of it very well. Where only a few mention something, the score stays close to the guide’s average: a handful of voices does not make a reputation.

The hotels we weigh it against in Saas-Fee and, as a regional comparison, Zermatt:

  • Wellnesshotel Schweizerhof
  • Hotel Allalin

One night, right back to the bus

After one night, the guest remembers welcome drinks, dinner requests honoured, and food and water for the journey. The staff also drive them to the bus terminal at departure.

The cheese arrives later

The massage impresses, but the guest sometimes waits 20 minutes at breakfast. They remember bread and butter already on the table while the cheese plate arrives later.

The room above the spa

Reaching the room in the annex above the spa takes 3 lifts in this guest’s account. They report morning noise with the windows open and another chalet only metres away, while enjoying the pool and food.
