The Vibe: The Capra is a luxury indie hotel, where ski chalet meets chic mountain hideaway.

The Area: In Saas-Fee, a “picture perfect” Swiss Alpine idyl known for its 4000+ metres snow-capped peaks and Wham!’s “Last Christmas” video.

The DNA: Although small in size, THE CAPRA offers many amenities. Guests can sample honest, seasonal and unpretentious dishes at “Brasserie 1809”, with ingedrients sourced within 150km. There is also a cozy bar, lounge and a wine cellar/tasting room. There is a fitness and a wellness centre with indoor pool, exercise room, steam room, sauna, and a jacuzzi. An array of activities can be enjoyed on site or in the surroundings, including cycling and hiking in summer and skiing in winter. The hotel is just a 2-to 5-minute walk from several ski lifts and there is a heated storage room for ski equipment. 

Suite-Me-Up: The suites are decorated in a contemporary Alpine style and offer a balcony with panoramic mountain views, a separate living area with a sofa bed, a flat-screen satellite TV, floor-to-ceiling windows, wooden floors and a modern bathroom with a shower, a bathtub and a hairdryer.
