Jägihorn Via Ferrata<br />
Adventure<br />
VIA FERRATAS<br />
Experienced mountain climbers who don’t suffer from<br />
a fear of heights will appreciate the opportunity to experience<br />
belayed ‘Cliffside Adventures’ at various locations<br />
in the Saas Valley.<br />
-> Jägihorn Via Ferrata<br />
Not only one of the most beautiful via ferratas in<br />
Switzerland – it’s also the highest in the Western<br />
Alps. Great scenery, with little iron and lots of rock<br />
contact, this climb has a lot to offer for advanced<br />
climbers.<br />
-> Mittaghorn Via Ferrata<br />
This via ferrata will take you to the peak of a<br />
three-thousand-metre mountain – a spot from<br />
which you’ll take in a breathtaking view of the Saas<br />
and Rhone Valleys and nearby four-thousand-metre<br />
peaks! An easy-to-moderate via ferrata that can<br />
also be recommended for beginners.<br />
-> Saas-Grund Mini Via Ferrata<br />
You don’t always have to take the highest route in<br />
order to enjoy the sensation of a via ferrata. This<br />
mini via ferrata is located just minutes away from the<br />
Saas-Grund valley station for cable cars.<br />
BIKE SKILLS PARK KREUZBOD<strong>EN</strong><br />
Since 2021, our bike fans have been getting their money’s<br />
worth at the new Bike Skills Park Kreuzboden<br />
above Saas-Grund. The various routes are each around<br />
380 metres long and the bikers are transported to the<br />
start by a conveyor belt.<br />
BIKES AND E-BIKES<br />
There are eleven bike trails in the Saas-Fee/Saastal<br />
holiday region. Some routes are easier and better suited<br />
for families or seniors – the Mattmark Bike Tour is one<br />
of these. But anyone in search of a thrill should try the<br />
Hohsaas Trail. When choosing a trail, please keep the<br />
difficulty level in mind. The upper part of the Hohsaas<br />
Trail has been classified as difficulty level 5 – so this<br />
section is a trail for experts only. The Mattmark Bike<br />
Tour, on the other hand, is only a level 2 and thus much<br />
easier. If you’re not sure which trail to pick, just ask at<br />
the reception of a Tourist Information Centre at your<br />
destination and get advice from one of our experts.<br />

TRAIL RUNNING<br />
Trail running has become increasingly popular in recent<br />
years. The Saas Valley is the perfect location for<br />
this sport. Discover the stunning landscape as you run<br />
along these trails. Due to the altitude in the Saas Valley,<br />
you’ll train your endurance like a pro athlete and get<br />
your body into top form. How does this work? Your body<br />
has to adjust to the unfamiliar altitude and reacts by<br />
creating more red blood cells (which transport oxygen).<br />
No time like the present to head out on one of our carefully<br />
designed trail runs:<br />
GORGE ALPINE/ALPINE CANYON<br />
Thanks to its two Tyrolean traverses and the possibility<br />
of abseiling, this route is one of just two dynamic<br />
via ferratas in the Upper Valais. The route will take you<br />
over suspension bridges, up ladders and along steel<br />
cables through the rugged Fee Ravine from Saas-Fee<br />
to Saas-Grund. The tour is not suitable for people who<br />
are afraid of heights and is not permitted for children<br />
under 12 years of age. All visitors must be accompanied<br />
by a mountain guide.<br />
