Saaser Museum (Saas-Fee)
Situated in a historic building in Saas-Fee, the Saaser Museum offers a fascinating insight into the traditional life and history of the Saas Valley. It showcases artifacts, tools, and costumes from bygone eras, providing a vivid picture of the alpine farmers' arduous existence, the development of tourism, and local customs. Key exhibits include a traditional Saas Stube (living room), agricultural instruments, and religious art. The museum is small but well-curated and provides an excellent cultural counterpoint to the outdoor activities. Typical opening hours are afternoons on selected days (e.g., Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday) during peak seasons, with reduced hours or by appointment in off-peak times. Entry usually costs around CHF 7 for adults, with children often free. It's a great option for an educational and cultural excursion, especially on rainy days.
