By choosing a typical souvenir from Saas‑Grund, you bring home a piece of Switzerland’s Valais region, shaped by high alpine nature, Walser heritage, and traditional craftsmanship.

Typical souvenirs would be:

  • Swiss Cowbells (“Treichel”): Traditional Valais cowbells, often hand-decorated, used in local festivals or as decorative keepsakes.

  • Wood Carvings & Alphorn Miniatures: Hand-carved figures of cows, alpine animals, or miniature alphorns, classic Swiss alpine crafts.

  • Valais Cheese & Local Chocolates: Regional cheeses such as Raclette du Valais, dried meats (viande séchée), and artisanal chocolates from local chocolatiers.

  • Postcards & Alpine Photography: Scenic images of the Saas Valley, Dom mountain, and surrounding peaks, perfect for sharing the alpine beauty.

  • Handmade Wool & Knitted Goods: Scarves, hats, gloves, and socks made from Swiss wool, often featuring traditional alpine patterns.

  • Local Spirits & Liqueurs: Apple, pear, or apricot brandies produced in the Valais region, plus herbal liqueurs unique to the area.

  • Souvenir Magnets & Keychains: Featuring alpine animals, mountains, or the village’s name, easy to pack and remember.

  • Traditional Valais Costumes / Miniatures: Small figurines or ornaments depicting the local Walser costumes and village life.
