Kreuzboden-Hohsaas – mountains
Intro
Gondola rail conquers as much as a 840-meter climb to Kreuzboden, and a further 750 meters to the Hohsaas. And naturally far-reaching views over the Saas glacier world couldn’t be better!
Standing here you face Saas-Fee with the Mischabel chain and Alphubel as well as Allalinhorn in the backdrop. And a total 18 four-thousanders are duly described along the theme trail here.
Wellness and enjoyment path, Alpine flower promenade, bike skills park and water-games park for children counteract boredom – and the highland path to the Almagelleralp, those leading to Gspon or Visperterminen and the via ferrata to Jägihorn add to active enjoyment.
