Winter hiking in Saas-Fee and the Saas valley

Four routes from Saas-Fee and the valley floor, from forest paths to the high Britannia hut line and the Mattmark reservoir. Each is on the official list of Swiss winter hiking trails, with a map and a free GPX.

Before you go: is it open today?

Winter paths open, close and are prepared from day to day, and lifts and mountain railways keep their own winter timetables. This page cannot say what is open today.

Open facilities in the Saas valley (Saastal Tourismus, updated daily)

Each route below also links to its page at SwitzerlandMobility. Daylight in mid-January: about 08:07 to 17:07 (9 h) on a flat horizon; mountains shorten it in the valleys.

Walking times are the source's, for the way the line is drawn. TrailSplits has not walked these routes; signs and conditions on site decide.
