Description
The viewpoint above Heidbodme offers a beautiful view of the Saas Valley and Saas-Fee, as well as a unique view of the Monte Rosa massif.
The viewpoint above the Heidbodme mountain station offers an even more impressive view of the Saas Valley with its 18 peaks above 4000 meters than the mountain station itself. The path initially leads westwards on the new high-altitude trail to the Antrona Pass and then branches off northwest after the "Wanne" area. The path still briefly crosses some small rock bands to the viewpoint. Once there, you can clearly see the old trade route from Domodossola over the Antrona Pass into the Saas Valley. This route was used long before the Simplon Pass as a trade route and led via the Gspon high trail to Stalden or Visp.
Transport
The Saas Valley is easily and conveniently accessible by car from all directions, whether from Switzerland or abroad. From the north, you reach us via Bern through the Lötschberg car train. From the east, you come via the Furka Pass or Furka car train. From the south, we are accessible via Simplon Pass or Simplon car train, and from the west you drive via Lausanne along the Rhone Valley to Visp and from there towards Saas-Fee. From Visp, drive south towards Saas-Fee. At the "Killerhof" roundabout towards Stalden, take the second exit to Saas-Fee. In Saas-Grund, turn left after the church towards Saas-Almagell.
