Saas Valley: This charming valley, well worth a visit, is home to the well-known vacation destinations of Saas-Balen, Saas-Grund, Saas-Almagell, and, of course, the sophisticated Saas-Fee. For many decades, it has been a hub for winter and summer sports in Switzerland. The three smaller towns of Balen, Grund, and Almagell are located in the valley and, thanks to their two very sunny ski areas (the Hohsaas ski area in Saas-Grund, reaching an altitude of 2,400 m, 35 km of slopes, as well as the Saas-Almagell ski area, which also reaches an altitude of 2,400 m, 13 km of slopes), a continuous cross-country ski trail, and numerous (winter) hiking trails and mountain bike routes connecting the villages and the Mattmark Reservoir, they offer plenty of opportunities to enjoy a peaceful yet varied and active vacation here throughout both winter and summer.
Ideal for guests is the direct connection between all three villages via a free postal bus to Saas-Fee (valid only for holders of a Saastalcard, which is provided to our guests) going directly up to Saas-Fee.This means you can essentially leave your car behind during your vacation. See below for more information on the Saastalcard.

SAAS-FEE: this world-famous resort, with its impressive glaciers, lies in a small basin at an elevation of 1,800 m and is surrounded by 13 four-thousand-meter peaks, including such well-known mountains as the Dom, Alphubel, Nadelhorn, Täschorn, and Allalin. The entire town of Saas-Fee is car-free and can only be accessed on foot or by electric taxi. At the entrance to the town, a huge, multi-story parking garage (for a fee) offers ample parking.

The ski resort is remarkable and is used as a training camp, especially by many national ski teams; as Saas-Fee is, alongside Zermatt, the only year-round ski resort (reduced to the glacier ski area in summer) in Switzerland. While the lifts in the valley are more suitable for beginners, over 20 lifts (gondolas, chairlifts, and T-bar lifts) serve approximately 100 km of downhill runs up to 3,600 m; higher up, red and black runs predominate and are a real treat, especially for experienced skiers.
Cross-country skiing: a 6-km high-altitude trail in Saas-Fee and a 26-km cross-country trail in the valley between Saas-Balen, Saas-Grund, and Saas-Almagell.
Other Activities: numerous ski and snowboard schools, a cross-country skiing school, a ski kindergarten, a toboggan run, indoor tennis courts, snowshoe hikes, natural ice rinks, curling, and curling on ice. Saas-Fee also offers plenty for non-skiers (pubs, dance clubs, bars, etc.).
Summer activities in the Saas Valley: numerous hiking and high-altitude trails (totaling nearly 450 km) of all difficulty levels, a 900-meter-long summer toboggan run, a 9-hole alpine golf course, mini-golf, a high ropes course, a canyon via ferrata, a canyon zip line (Tyrolia or Flying Fox), barbecue areas, outdoor and indoor tennis courts, mountaineering, and paragliding. A mountain biking network over 70 km long with mountain bike rentals available in various towns.
