Saas-Grund (1 August 2010)
In 2010 the village of Saas-Grund organises the 41st street-parade with the motto "Life in the olden times in the Saas Valley". How were baskets made? How was the typical Saas "Chreeshut" (hat) made? How did the first visitors arrive in the Saas Valley? Over 35 very impressively decorated floats display the customs and traditions of the people of the Saas Valley. 

And also in Saas-Almagell and Saas-Balen the traditional festivities will take place.
