Winter Season at Saas-Almagell

Saas-Almagell transforms into a serene, snow-covered paradise during winter, offering a tranquil alternative to its bustling neighbor, Saas-Fee. The local ski area, Furggstalden-Heidbodme, is a gem for families and beginners, boasting gentle slopes and a dedicated children's area known as 'Märchenland' (Fairytale Land). Beyond downhill skiing, visitors can immerse themselves in the pristine landscape through extensive winter hiking trails, snowshoeing routes that lead through silent forests and past frozen waterfalls, or thrilling sledding runs. The village itself maintains a charming, traditional Valaisian character, with cozy hotels and guesthouses providing a warm welcome. Cross-country skiing enthusiasts will find well-groomed tracks along the Saaser Vispa river, connecting to the wider Saas Valley network. The absence of mass tourism here allows for a truly authentic and peaceful winter experience, perfect for relaxation and enjoying the crisp mountain air.
