Since 1983, the Saas Museum has been a living testimony to the eventful history of the Saas Valley. To mark its 40th anniversary, the museum has been given a new lease of life. 

The highlights of the exhibition are the annually changing special exhibitions, the presentation of individual works by local artist Werner Zurbriggen and a special section highlighting the importance of cable cars for the history of tourism. Another highlight is the trilingual media guide, which uses radio plays, pictures and videos to enhance understanding of the region's special features.
