Suonen Trail Saas-Almagell - Saas-Grund

Discover various cultural and historical buildings up close along this “bisse trail”, such as the new bridge over the Almagellerbach stream, the old "Heuwete" water conduit and the "Moosgufer" waterway. The Sentier du bisse starts at the bottom station of the Saas-Almagell chairlift and leads in a north-easterly direction. For the first third, follow the trail signs to "Zum Berg" through the Spisswald forest to the Almagellerbach, where the bridge is located. From here the path continues below Moosgufer to "Weiler zum Moos", and then over the valley road to Saas-Grund via the "Unter den Bodmen", "Zer Brigge" and "Ze Laubinu" villages. The path ends in the "Gasse" section located near the Place de la Poste in Saas-Grund.

Ski areas

Saas-Almagell

Saas-Almagell is a typical, leisurely Valais mountain village and offers more than just broad pistes. The neighbouring Furggstalden-Heidbodme ski area is especially ideal for families and always has plenty of snow. Ski stars such as Pirmin, Heidi and Silvan Zurbriggen made their first forays onto the snow here.

Snowtubing

Snowtubing is the name given to this unusual way of having fun in the snow in the child-friendly ski resort of Saas-Almagell. Whizzing around on these rubber tyres is suitable for the whole family. The snowtubing run is in the middle of the ski area. A lift comfortably carries you up to the start, before you wind down at great speed to the finish line, where you brake slowly and safely.

Suspension footbridges of Saas-Almagell

The highlights of the Almagell Adventure Trail are without doubt the two suspension footbridges, which float high above the ground. One is 60 metres long and 9 metres high; the other, 45 metres long and 12 metres high. As you cross them on the trail around the Almagellerhorn, they send a tingle down your spine. But you won’t regret it: the panoramic views of the mountains of the Saas valley and the dramatic views into the depths of the gorges are ample reward. A sure foot and a good head for heights are nonetheless a requirement for this trail, which takes about an hour and a half. It is suitable for children from the age of six or seven, providing they are accompanied by adults, but unsuitable for dogs.
