Saas Valley Information

Getting to the Saas Valley

By train and PostBus

Take the train to Visp. From the station, PostBus line 511 runs every half hour into the Saas Valley – to Saas-Fee, Saas-Grund and Saas-Almagell. From Zurich, Geneva and Basel airports you reach us in about three hours by public transport. Groups of 10 or more must reserve seats with PostBus in advance.

Useful: for train journeys there is a door-to-door luggage service, so you can travel without your suitcases.

By car

Drive via Visp towards the Saas Valley. At the «Killerhof» roundabout near Stalden, take the second exit towards Saas-Fee. In Saas-Grund and Saas-Almagell you can drive right up to our houses, where parking is free for our guests.

Saas-Fee is car-free. You leave your car in the multi-storey car park at the village entrance, a few minutes’ walk from Haus Alfa and Haus Slalom. Current rates are published by Saastal Tourismus.

Mountain lifts and ski areas

Saas-Fee

The glacier ski area reaches up to Mittelallalin at around 3,500 m. Thanks to the altitude the season is particularly long. In summer the glacier, the ice pavilion and the high-level trails are the main attractions.

Saas-Grund

From the village the lifts run via Kreuzboden up to Hohsaas at over 3,000 m, facing the Weissmies. Kreuzboden, with its mountain lake and large playground, is a popular family destination in summer.

Saas-Almagell

The small Furggstalden area lies right by the village and suits families and beginners. The Mattmark reservoir and the Almagelleralp are the best-known hiking destinations.

Opening times and lift prices change every season. You find the current ones at Saastal Tourismus AG.
