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.
Temporary exhibitions 2025 / 2026
Temporary exhibition ‘Suonen – Lifelines of the Alps’ | Until 23 May 2026
The Saas Museum cordially invites you to discover the fascinating world of the Suonen – the unique water channels that have shaped life in the Alpine region for centuries.
Our new temporary exhibition vividly illustrates how Suonenwere built: from simple wooden gutters to elaborate constructions along steep rock faces. Models, illustrations and explanatory texts provide an insight into the craftsmanship and enormous effort that went into these structures.
Accompanying text panels also shed light on the history and significance of the suonen – as the basis for agriculture, settlement development and human survival in a barren mountain environment. The exhibition makes it clear why suonen are still considered an impressive cultural heritage today.
