Cross-Country Skiing Trails Saas Valley

While Saas-Fee is known for downhill skiing, the broader Saas Valley offers excellent cross-country skiing opportunities, particularly around Saas-Almagell and Saas-Balen. The valley boasts approximately 26 km of meticulously prepared cross-country trails for both classic and skating styles, winding through picturesque forests and along the Saaser Vispa river. These trails are generally well-maintained and offer a more serene winter sports experience away from the bustling slopes. Access is free, with equipment rental readily available in the various Saas Valley villages. Trails vary from easy to moderate difficulty, suitable for beginners to advanced skiers.
