Why Saas-Grund is the destination for your next vacation
Saas-Grund sits in the Saas Valley, a place where nature writes the itinerary and every day can bring a new chapter of outdoor discovery. In summer, the valley opens up with an inviting network of hiking and biking trails that lead you through wildflower meadows, alpine ridges, and quiet, sun-dappled forests. In winter, the snow-clad landscape becomes a playground for cross-country skiers and downhill enthusiasts, while the nearby Saas-Fee region extends your alpine adventures with longer runs and glacier views. The location of Montela Holiday Stay is especially convenient: a mere few minutes’ walk from the valley station of the Hohsaas cable cars and right beside the bus stop “unter dem Berg.” It’s the kind of basecamp that makes vacation rentals feel effortless, where comfort and access become part of your daily routine, not a quest to navigate. This is the kind of place where holiday meets convenience, where you can stay in and unwind or step out to chase local experiences and things to do that become the stories you’ll tell at the end of your trip.
The space: 80 m2 of comfort, convenience, and character
The Montela Holiday Stay apartments are designed for lasting comfort and flexible use, with thoughtful touches that make every day a little easier. On the upper floor, you’ll find a quietly situated, non-smoking apartment with a balcony that invites you to pause and watch the sunrise over the mountaintops. The living space is bright and open, with two bedrooms and a bathroom that comfortably accommodate 4 to 5 guests. The two separate bedrooms can be configured with two separable beds (180 cm total) or a non-separable queen-size bed (160 cm), depending on your group’s needs. In the living area, a sofa bed (140 cm) provides a flexible extra sleeping option for one more guest if required. The kitchen is fully equipped for self-catering and social cooking, making it easy to enjoy meals together and experiment with regional produce from the area.
Inside, the décor blends modern practicality with a touch of alpine charm, creating a space that feels both contemporary and cozy after a day outdoors. The apartment is part of the Montela Hotel & Resort, giving you access to additional services while preserving the privacy and independence of a standalone holiday rental. A balcony with garden furniture provides an outdoor living area for sunlit breakfasts, after-ski warm-ups, or quiet evenings listening to the valley’s natural sounds. The apartment is designed to be comfortable for families and friends alike, balancing space, privacy, and shared areas to keep everyone connected and relaxed.

Seasonal adventures: activities right outside your door
Montela Holiday Stay is your hub for a wide array of activities, from tranquil nature walks to adrenaline-fueled mountain excursions. In summer, lace up your hiking boots or strap on your bike to explore the valley’s network of trails. The Saas-Basel or Hohsaas routes offer viewpoints and landscapes that reward patient photographers, hikers who enjoy longer day trips, and families who want to mix gentle strolls with more challenging climbs. In winter, the proximity to the Hohsaas cable car makes it easy to reach higher alpine terrain for snowshoeing, skiing, and cross-country pathways—ideal for guests who want to maximize time on the snow without lengthy commutes. The nearby Saas-Fee/Saas Valley holiday region provides access to their renowned skiing, snow parks, and scenic glacier views, turning every day into a new discovery.
Whether you’re traveling with kids, friends, or a partner, there’s a natural rhythm for your days: mornings on the trails, afternoons with a hot cocoa or fondue nearby, and evenings in the Montela space you’ve made your own. The area’s outdoor pursuits are complemented by gentle, wellness-minded moments—sunrise balcony moments, a warm bath after a long day of exploring, or an evening stroll along Saas-Grund’s cozy streets as lights begin to twinkle against the mountain silhouette.
Local experiences and things to do: curated ideas for your stay
Immersive experiences in the Saas Valley invite you to engage with the place rather than simply pass through it. Here are some authentic suggestions to enrich your trip, all while keeping you connected to the local community and the environment around you:
- Take a cable-car ride up to a high-altitude vantage point for a panoramic view of the glacier-filled peaks and the valley floor. The scenery is a photographer’s dream and a reminder of the power and beauty of alpine landscapes.
- Join a guided hike or a family-friendly trail that winds through wildflower meadows and pine forests, offering chances to spot local fauna and to learn about alpine ecology from knowledgeable guides.
- Sample regional cheeses, cured meats, and breads at nearby dairies and bakeries, then pair your finds with a carefully chosen selection from the exclusive meat and cheese fondue option offered at Montela Holiday Stay.
- Try a day of Nordic skiing or cross-country trails that weave through rolling hills and quiet woodlands, a perfect way to soak in peaceful winter scenery while staying active.
- Participate in a summer or autumn farmers’ market visit to connect with local producers and taste seasonal specialties—an opportunity to support the local economy and bring back fresh flavors for your balcony meals.
