Saas Grund continues to expand its mountain bike trail network. When the Skills Park on Kreuzboden (2400 m above sea level) went into operation in summer 2021, those responsible made bikers' mouths water with the announcement that the gap between the trails from Hohsaas to Kreuzboden and those from Triftalp down to Saas Grund would be closed in 2022.

Just in time for the autumn season, this link is now ready for the trail fraction. According to Saas Tal Tourismus, it is a flow trail that integrates the terrain, i.e. incorporates an edge of the terrain or a boulder as a trail element. It was planned by Bike Plan and built by Trailworks.

One absolute highlight, however, was created without the help of the trail builders. Weissmies, Dom and 16 (!) other four-thousand-metre peaks lean over the people who have left the mountain station. It's worth pausing to take in this work of tectonic art.

Then it's off on alpine hiking trails to Kreuzboden. If you feel like it, do a few quick laps in the skills park, then follow the new flow trail to Triftalp. From there, a wooded single trail rides down to Saas Grund. The mountain bike infrastructure has cost an impressive 571,000 francs so far, around 70 percent of which has been covered by the municipality, the cable cars and Tourismus AG, with the rest being financed by an NRP project.
