-
20-Alpenpässse-Weg
The route traverses the steep western flank of the Saas Valley along an exposed high-altitude path — some sections secured with wire cables — delivering constant panoramas of the Mischabel group, the Fletschhorn, the Weissmies, and the Matterhorn, with vertiginous views straight down into the valley below. The terrain shifts from open larch forest through boulder fields and across several avalanche chutes before arriving at the sunny terrace of Grächen.

Swiss Tour Monte Rosa
A high-altitude panoramic traverse linking Saas-Fee to Zermatt, the route strings together views of 13 four-thousanders visible from Saas-Fee alone, threading the steep flanks of the Mischabel group along the Europaweg before crossing the 500 m Charles Kuonen suspension bridge — the world's longest pedestrian suspension bridge — with the Matterhorn waiting at the far end.
-
Saas-Grund - Saas-Fee
The route descends from Saas-Fee through forest and along the Saaser-Vispa river, climbing through Zermeiggern and Chapfwald to the lunch stop at Furggstalden, before returning via a panoramic ridge path through Spisswald and Zum Moss down to Saas-Grund.

Alpenblumen Promenade
Botanists from Horace Bénédict de Saussure to the Prior of the Great St. Bernard once roamed these slopes, and the trail from Kreuzboden still threads through one of the finest alpine flower regions in the Swiss Alps, high above the Saastal. The route descends from a gondola station ringed by four-thousand-metre peaks toward Saas-Grund, tracing an easy path through what the sources call a nearly forgotten paradise of alpine blooms.
-
Steinwildpfad
From the gondola station at Hannig, a steep zigzag climb past old avalanche barriers and a glacier moraine leads to the summit of Mällig at 2,700 m, then threads across four smaller summits along a ridge with sweeping views of the Saas valley and the surrounding four-thousanders. Above the tree line, the rocky terrain is prime habitat for ibex — the long-horned wild goats that give the trail its name.

Bidermatten - Stafelälpli
-
Saas-Fee - Hannig
The trail climbs from the village's rear district of Wildi through the Bärufalla to the Mälchbodu, where two small ponds, a playground, and grills sit in a clearing amid larch forest. It follows the sledding piste up to the Hannig mountain restaurant, making it the designated family route on this side of Saas-Fee.
-
Alpenblick - Gletschergrotte
The trail leads from the village of Saas-Fee through open, green landscape to a crystal-blue glacier lake at 1904 m, then continues past the Bergrestaurant Gletschergrotte at 1997 m, which serves local food and drinks with a mountain panorama.
-
Hoferälpi - Kreuzboden
The trail climbs through high-alpine terrain alongside ski run edges, with views of the Mischabel mountain group, to reach the mountain lake at Kreuzboden.
