EXCURSIONS<br />

1 Hannig (2‘350 m.a.s.l.)<br />

The Hannig offers fantastic vistas of the Mischabel<br />

chain’s four-thousand metre peaks, especially<br />

from the terrace of the „Hühnerstall“ restaurant,<br />

making this sunshine hotspot the best spot<br />

to drink in the views.<br />

2 Rope park<br />

They’re without doubt the highlight of the challenge<br />

course through our adventure forest: Europe’s<br />

longest zip wires over the Fee gorge – 280m out<br />

and 210m back. Go on, take a leap of faith!<br />

5 Spielboden (2‘450 m.a.s.l.)<br />

Whilst you’re up on the Spielboden enjoying the<br />

beautiful ski resort in winter, our cute furry friends<br />

are still sleeping like logs in their burrows. However,<br />

in spring our marmots come out to play and<br />

are more than happy to be tempted.<br />

6 Feeblitz toboggan run<br />

The Feeblitz in Saas-Fee is always a spectacular<br />

experience. First take the steepest toboggan<br />

lift in the Alps up to the start – then hurtle back<br />

down the mountain along the breathtaking track<br />

at speeds of up to 40km/h.<br />

9 Furggstalden (1‘893 m.a.s.l.)<br />

10<br />

High above Saas-Almagell and easily accessible<br />

by chairlift, Furggstalden (1,893 m above sea<br />

level) is the oldest hamlet in the Free Republic of<br />

Holidays, Saas-Fee, that is still inhabited.<br />

„18 4,000 metre peaks“ (3‘200 m.a.s.l.)<br />

The Saas Valley is surrounded by 18 peaks of 4,000<br />

metres or more, and each mountain has its own<br />

story. Each stop along the trail features a small<br />

sculpture of each mountain, photographs of the<br />

individual peaks and information.<br />

13 Kreuzboden (2‘400 m.a.s.l.)<br />

14<br />

A cable car brings you up from Saas-Grund to the<br />

ski resort of Kreuzboden in comfort. In summer<br />

you can go climbing, hiking and mountain biking<br />

in Kreuzboden, or you can just kick back and relax<br />

by the lake.<br />

Saas-Balen Round Church<br />

The late-baroque chapel, which is dedicated to<br />

the Assumption, consists of two large, interlocking<br />

cylinders (with nave and chancel), which<br />

are topped by flat conical roofs.<br />

3 Ice Pavilion (3‘500 m.a.s.l.)<br />

High above Saas-Fee at an altitude of 3,500 m<br />

lies the entrance to the heart of the Fee Glacier.<br />

The Ice Pavilion was completely revamped in<br />

spring 2016. Now, the story of the 2,000-year-old<br />

ice is being rewritten.<br />

7 The Mattmark reservoir (2‘200 m.a.s.l.)<br />

The Mattmark reservoir at 2,200 m above sea level<br />

has Europe’s biggest embankment. At its feet,<br />

you almost feel as if you’re looking up to the Great<br />

Pyramid of Cheops.<br />

11 Monster scooter<br />

The ultimate downhill kick awaits on the 11km<br />

track from Kreuzboden to Saas-Grund on Monster<br />

scooters!<br />

15 Gorge Alpine<br />

A mountain guide will take you through the wild<br />

and rugged Fee gorge leading from Saas-Fee<br />

down to Saas-Grund. The spectacular tour passes<br />

frozen waterfalls and takes you across suspension<br />

bridges, ladders and steel ropes.<br />

4 Swiss Glacier World (3‘500 m.a.s.l.)<br />

„Swiss Glacier World“ is a snowtubing and skidoo<br />

park for kids and families. Surrounded by<br />

the highest peaks in Switzerland and a majestic<br />

panorama of glaciers, every visit guarantees an<br />

experience like no other.<br />

8 Minigolf/Pit-Pat<br />

You probably know how much fun mini golf is, but<br />

you may not know what it‘s like to play in front of<br />

a spectacular mountain backdrop. Not only that,<br />

in Saas-Almagell you can also try your hand at<br />

pit-pat.<br />

12 Hohsi-Land in summer<br />

It‘s also home to a little something for our youngest<br />

citizens, too: Hohsi-Land. The park includes<br />

a playground, farm animals, a water park, a themed<br />

walkway and a climbing frame with a 13mlong<br />

slide.<br />
