Adventure Forest For Ramblers, Hikers & Bikers
The Saas Valley is home to several attractive villages, of which Saas Fee is the highest and prettiest, with Saas Almagell, Saas Grund and Saas Balen dotted on the lower plains of the valley, and all are connected by a network of walking trails. The 350km of marked footpaths offer walks for everyone, whether you wish to stroll between the numerous cafés admiring the scenery, or enjoy more challenging hikes into the highlands. Guided walks are available for high altitude hikes and for in-depth 'fauna and flora' days, where the local marmots are always a favourite with the children. Mountain bikers have 70km of dedicated trails to explore, covering a wide variety of terrain. Bikes can be transported up the mountain on two of the lifts to access the best downhill rides, for which a guide is recommended - this can be arranged in resort. The Welcome Wander takes place on Sundays and is a family-friendly walk, suitable for all ages, to introduce you to the local area. It offers a great opportunity to meet fellow guests and to plan the week's activities. The gentle walk will culminate at a scenic spot to enjoy a complimentary light packed lunch. You may then leave your younger children in our child carers' capable hands and enjoy a further hour's walk if you wish.
Swing on a liana from tree to tree or walk across hanging bridges: a forest full of adventure for the whole family offers various routes and degrees of difficulty. Adults from £12, children under 16 from £8 (min. height 1.10m / 1.40m, depending on the route). |
