Cross-country skiers will love gliding along the Saas-Valley’s 26 kilometres of cross-country ski trails, which wind through snow-covered larch forests and alongside the frozen Vispa river.

They’ll also be surrounded by stunning views of the magnificent 4'000-metre-plus peaks that surround the valley, making this a treat for the eyes as well as an invigorating physical activity.

The classic Saas Valley trail offers 26 km of ski tracks, starting in Saas-Balen and passing through Saas-Biedermatten, Saas-Grund, Unter dem Bodmen, Saas-Almagell and Zermeiggern all the way to Eiualp. There are several bus stops along the way, giving you the option of doing selected sections of the trail or the whole route. Depending on the snow conditions, there are also 26 km skate skiing pistes to explore. Passes are available at the tourist offices.
