    Mountaineering

    The groundbreaking ceremony for the parish church of St. Barbara took place on July 1, 1938. A church dating back to 1692 had to be demolished. The first chapel in Saas-Almagell dates back to 1494. In 1893, Saas-Almagell separated from the mother church in Saas-Grund and became its own parish.
