Saas Museum

Since 1983, the Saas Museum has been a living testimony to the eventful history of the Saas Valley. To celebrate its 40th anniversary, the museum has been given a facelift. 
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.

Werner Zurbriggen - Art from the Saas Valley

The exhibition is dedicated to the work of Werner Zurbriggen, one of the most important artists from the Saas Valley. Born in Saas-Fee in 1931, Zurbriggen combined clear geometric forms with expressive colours in his art, creating a figurative constructivism of unmistakable originality. Gifted with an extraordinary sense of decorative values and a master of composition, he created both structured and lively works. The exhibition invites visitors to discover this remarkable artist's creative power and stylistic diversity.
