Winter activities for children in Saas-Fee

In the heart of the larches of Saas-Fee, a treetop adventure course for young and old. Zip lines, suspension bridges, and gentle thrills, with a postcard view of the peaks.

A treetop adventure course in the heart of the forest, zip lines, and a view of the Matterhorn: a nature outing that gets kids moving and breathes adventure, from spring to autumn.

Fancy an underground adventure as a family? Above the Val d'Anniviers, the La Lée copper mine can be visited with a guide: 500 metres of galleries to explore. On Sundays, children become 'miners for a day' and extract the copper ore themselves.

Fancy a walk beside a turquoise lake as a family? Above Grimentz, the Moiry dam holds back a high-altitude lake of incredible blue, facing the glacier. The top of the dam can be walked with a pushchair, and marmots often pop their heads out in the evening.

Above St-Luc, a playful walk takes your children from planet to planet, with scaled-down models, a grand panorama, and easy access by funicular.

Looking for a tasty, authentic family activity? In Grimentz, the rye bread workshop has you make your own bread in the village's communal oven (four banal). From dough to baking, from age 6, you become a baker for a day, followed by an apéritif.

Fancy a thrilling family descent this winter above Grimentz? At Bendolla, the Snow Mountain Cart sends you down 5 km of snow-covered track, halfway between a kart and a sledge. Thrills guaranteed and a view of the Val d'Anniviers thrown in, for older children from age 11.

Fancy strolling through one of the most beautiful villages in Switzerland? In Grimentz, blackened wooden raccards, lanes overflowing with geraniums and centuries-old chalets tell of life in the old days. Guided tours reveal the Maison de Grand-Maman, the mill and the cellars of the Vin du Glacier.
