Yet another reason to visit the Saastal is this quick hit right from Saas-Fee. At 16km and 1100 meters vert, it's a welcome to town or, my legs are cooked and I need something mellower today type of run.
Saastal, with its trio of villages; Saas-Fee, Saas-Grund, and Saas-Almagell, is a great spot to settle in and do some exceptional running and peak bagging. On this site, we have the Saas-Almagell Jazzilücke Loop, the Glacier Trail, the start to the mighty Balfrin Traverse, and two 4000-meter peak runs - Lagginhorn and Weissmies one of our favorite scrambles in the Alps.
All of these in the lineup establish Saas-Fee as one of the Alps' premier basecamp towns for some high quality trail running tours.

TIPS
-
Get to know the goats by name - they wear name tags along with their bells, and are likely to meet you at some point on the trail.
-
Mountain bikes share the descent from Hannig so stay somewhat alert from overtaking traffic.
Guided and self-guided trips. Come run with us.
Kicking things off with a cruise through a beautiful larch forest
Above the trees, the trails stay mostly smooth on the way to the highpoint
After the Hannig Station the run somehow feels like it's over - it's not - it's time to follow trails that unexpectedly keep unfolding
Traversing in and out of canyons
And finally, a moraine trail leads down to town
