Triftalp is the main alpine pasture in the municipality of Saas-Grund. Every year it is farmed with dairy and Ering cows between mid-June and mid-September.
The milk produced is used to make cheese directly on the alp. Individual families from Saas-Grund own alpine huts here and spend a few nights in the alp every summer. Five hundred metres down the road is the intermediate station of the gondola lift, which takes guests up to Kreuzboden (see timetable).
