Do
Chapel Trail
1.3 km, 45 min, easy
This trail goes from Saas-Grund up to Saas-Fee passing by 15 chapels and shrines each depicting different biblical scenes.
Do
Kreuzboden. Saas-Grund
11 km
This trail has two sections. The upper one is overall a bit slower and is, for the most part, separated from skiers. The lower part is shared with skiers and snowboarders but is generally faster and more fun. If you buy the day pass, it may make sense to get out in the middle station and only do the lower part several times over. The slope gets busier with skiers in the late afternoon when everyone is going home, so it makes more sense to go in the morning.
Fr. 26/13 for one trip, Fr. 42/25 for a day pass, rental of sledge Fr. 10
Do
Mattmark Reservoir Circular Trail
7.8 km, 2 hr, easy
This leisurely walk takes you around the Mattmark lake, a hydraulic water plant. There is a restaurant at the bus stop with an exhibition on the construction and running for the hydraulic plant. The lake is also a good starting point for many longer hikes. The access road is only open during the summer months and the whole area is off limits during winter due to avalanche risk.
Do
Rope park
Abenteuerwald
A rope park through the forest. There are two courses: a small one just for children and a big one for adults. The highlight certainly is the zip wire run over the canyon and back again.
Daily 10:00-19:00, 12:00-18:00 depending on the season. Only opens in summerAdult Fr. 31, child Fr. 21
Do
Saastal Loipe
26 km classic, 4-8 km skating
Goes along the Vispa river from Saas-Balen via Saas-Grund to Saas-Almagell. Entry is possible at any of those villages and anywhere in between. You don't have to buy the day pass beforehand, you pay it directly on the trail when (and if) you happen to cross path with the person responsible for collecting the fee.
Day pass: Fr. 10
Do
Topic path Alpine Flower Trail
10.6 km, 3h, medium difficulty
A downhill path from Kreuzboden to Saas-Grund. It's a well marked out path which is not too hard, but it's all downhill. On the way there are signboards showing off the local flora which you can see on the side of the trail (depending on the time of the year). The trail also leads through an old shepherd village and there is a small restaurant (Café Triftalp) on the way.
Eat

This restaurant lies in the middle of the forest a bit outside of the village. A curiosity at this restaurant is a stable with rabbits and other small animals which can be observed through a glass wall from the restaurant.
Fr. 20-40 for mains
Do
Waldweg Bodmen
3.2 km, 45 min, easy
This trail goes from Saas-Fee down to Saas-Almagell. It is a very broad path through the forest, which is also accessible in winter. Halfway down there is the restaurant Bodmen, a good spot for a pit stop.
Do

A rather small trail, right outside the village of Saas-Fee.
