Ferien einer ganz besonderen Art...
...auf der Panorama-Loipe Saas-Fee / Saastal!
Start bei der Rundkirche in Saas Balen, entlang der rauschenden Vispa, durch
die tiefverschneiten Lärchenwälder, durch die abwechslungsreichen Ebenen
in Dorfnähe von Saas Grund, vor der imposanten Mischabelkette und weiter
bis zum idyllischen Ferienort Saas Almagell. All diese Einzelheiten geben
der Saastal-Loipe mit den 26 km ihren speziellen Reiz.
