Saas Museum

Since 1983, the Saas Museum has been a living testimony to the eventful history of the Saas Valley. To mark its 40th anniversary, the museum underwent a comprehensive redesign.
Take a trip back in time and immerse yourself in the modernised rooms, which are now open every day thanks to an innovative access and security system. Numerous interactive experiences and newly designed rooms bring you closer to the rich history of the Saas Valley.

Highlights include special exhibitions that change every year, the presentation of individual works by local artist Werner Zurbriggen and a special area dedicated to the importance of cable cars in the history of tourism. Another highlight is the trilingual media guide, which uses radio plays, pictures and videos to help visitors understand the region's special features.

The building that now houses the Saas Museum is a former vicarage which was built in 1732. In 1855 an extra floor was added. In 1983 this typical old Saas house was opened as a museum on the initiative of the local historian Werner Imseng.
