06 · Marmots

Marmots
come to visit.

A colony of tame marmots lives at Spielboden, active from May to mid-October. The cable car takes you up in about 8 minutes, and the marmot trail starts at the top station. You can buy food at the tourist office and at Spielboden. It works best early in the morning or later in the afternoon; at midday it is too hot for them.

07 · Water and calm

Barefoot
in the mountain stream.

The Kneipp facility between the Plattjen valley station and Felskinn has wading pools, an affusion station, a barefoot path, an arm bath and a rest area. There are more at Kreuzboden and Furggstalden, plus the natural pool Hell-Chessi in Saas-Almagell.

08 · Trails and bridges

Over bridges,
through larches.

Two suspension bridges, each about 50 meters long, make the Saas-Almagell adventure trail famous. It starts in Furggstalden, requires a head for heights and sure footing, and takes about 1.5 hours to the Almagelleralp. Plus the white round church of Saas-Balen.

Fall

When the larches turn gold.

In the fall the forests of the Saas Valley turn gold, the air is clear and the first snow lies on the peaks.

Our landmarks

The queens.

Eighteen peaks over 4,000 meters stand around Saas-Fee. They shape the valley, and they are the reason so many guests come back.

The season pass

Magic Pass

In summer, the cable cars for hikers in Saas-Fee and Saas-Almagell are included in the Magic Pass (except summer skiing and Metro Alpin). In winter you ride all lifts, Metro Alpin included. One pass for around 100 destinations.

Buying early
pays off.

Presales start every year in mid-March. That is when the lowest price applies, usually until about mid-April. After that, the pass gets more expensive in stages.

Example 2026/27: from CHF 419 for adults and CHF 282 for kids.

The bus is not included in the Magic Pass. Prices and sales periods change every year; the information from Magic Pass is binding.

We do not sell tickets. All details and prices are available from the providers.
