The Cross-Country Area
Cross-country skiers will love gliding along the Saas-Valley’s 24 kilometres of cross-country ski trails, which wind through snow-covered larch forests and alongside the frozen Vispa river. They’ll also be surrounded by stunning views of the magnificent 4´000-metre-plus peaks that surround the valley, making this a treat for the eyes as well as an invigorating physical activity
Day passes are available at the tourist offices or at the post office Saas-Balen.
