Description

Former and current ski stars Pirmin, Heidi and Silvan Zurbriggen learned their sport in the family-friendly Furggstalden-Heidbodme skiing area. But Saas-Almagell offers much more than wide downhill slopes. The cross-country trails stretch up the valley from Eiu Alp directly beneath the imposing dam wall to Saas-Balen. The ice field offers plenty of fun sporting activities, such as sledging, snowshoe walking and winter hiking. Cool sports to fire you up!

Comments from the station crew:

This idyllic spot is particularly popular among hiking fans in summer, with its picturesque side valleys, the Suonen Trail to Saas-Grund, the Adventure Trail from Furggstalden to the Almagelleralp, and the narrow Valais migration routes to Italy over the mystic Monte Moro and Antrona passes.
