Perfectly prepared cross-country ski trails run through snow-covered larch forests and along the Vispa, which has solidified into ice, with impressive 4,000-metre peaks all around: cross-country skiing is fun! This cross-country ski run starts immediately in Saas-Grund at the bridge headed towards Saas-Fee. From there, walk downstream and turn left after the third bridge. Here, the trail continues over a clearing in the woods to the hamlet of Bidermatten. After a short descent, continue along the Vispa to the round church in Saas-Balen. Here begins the long ascent, which takes you along the “Vispa” to Saas-Grund and then via Saas-Almagell to the Zermeiggern” chapel. During the last few kilometres in the direction of “Eiju Sand”, enjoy the unique landscape with a view of the Mattmark Dam, the largest earth dam in Europe. The cross-country ski run takes you back to Saas-Almagell on the same route. For ambitious skiers, the trail turns off in Saas-Almagell towards “Biele”, and a final ascent. Once at the top, the trail gives way to an initially rapid and then more gradual return to Saas-Grund. Please take note of the current Cross-country ski run report
