Treasure Hunt Valais/Wallis Promotion
In collaboration with Valais/Wallis Promotion and SPICK, a new treasure hunt for families has been created from Furggstalden to Saas-Almagell. Along the way, many interesting facts and information about the forest habitat await the young and old treasure hunters. The starting point is the Furggstalden mountain station, which you can reach on foot or more comfortably by chairlift. All the necessary utensils for an unforgettable treasure hunt are available in the tourist offices in the Saas Valley. A treasure map will guide you to the eight stations. All family members do their bit to find the treasure at the end and take a little surprise home.
Mountain restaurant Heidbodme
The panorama at the mountain restaurant rises from the Monta Rosa range with Switzerland's highest border mountain, the Dufour peak, the imposing Strahlhorn, the Egginer, the Mittaghorn and up to the foothills of the Mischabel range. To the south-east, you can see the long Furgg valley towards the Antrona Pass (2,838 m)
Cable cars
