Saas Grund Piste Map and Overview
Saas Grund is a charming, quieter alternative to Saas-Fee, making it perfect for families, beginners, and those who prefer a more relaxed skiing experience. The area centers around Hohsaas, which offers wide, gentle slopes ideal for learning or perfecting technique. The valley’s high-altitude location ensures reliable snow throughout the season, while its panoramic views of surrounding 4,000 m peaks make even simple runs feel spectacular.
For intermediates and advanced skiers, Hohsaas also provides some steeper reds and blacks, along with off-piste routes for those seeking adventure. It can be a bit confusing but here’s a quick breakdown: – Hohsaas is a part of the Saas Valley ski area that specifically refers to the peak and lift area above Saas‑Grund. Skiers usually distinguish between the village Saas‑Grund and the ski area/lift Hohsaas. The lifts are modern and efficient, giving quick access to runs without long waits, and the small, welcoming village atmosphere makes it easy to navigate. With cozy alpine huts and ski schools right by the slopes, Saas Grund is an excellent choice for a low-stress, scenic alpine skiing experience.
