Trying to smile

At 3145m it’s pretty cold in Hohsaas, so the smile is a bit frozen…

The ride up from Kreuzboden Gondelstation (reached by Gondelbahn Saas-Grund - Kreuzboden in Saas-Grund Dorf) to Hohsaas is quite impressive, with the landscape morphing from lush green pastures into barren, lifeless ridges.
Still, once you step outside the cable-car, the scene is breathtakingly beautiful, with snow-covered walls on one side and rocky terrain on the other.
No need to take your water flask with you, as melted snow see to it that there is a constant flow of fresh, sweet and cool drinking water.
For the more adventurous type, there are a variety of routes that will reveal even more picturesque panoramas. For these you will need to come prepared with climbing gear, warm clothing and hot water flask...
