Cultural Centre Sonnenhalde

No other personality had such a lasting influence on the Saas Valley as the priest Johann Josef Imseng (1806-1869). As a priest, he was particularly concerned with the welfare of the people. He was not only a cleric, but also a passionate mountain guide and tourism pioneer who built the first hotel in the Saas Valley. He was involved in social work, the fight against poverty and emigration. He was also an accomplished botanist who knew all the medicinal herbs of the region. In the memorial exhibition, there is much to learn about the fascinating life and work of Pastor Imseng.

Alexander Burgener, the "King of Mountain Guides", was a fascinating man whose courage, strength and sense of danger made him one of the greatest mountaineers of his time. He wrote alpine history with countless first ascents. You can find out more about this extraordinary man in the exhibition with integrated cinema. 

A room full of surprises: From mountains, first ascents, mountain pioneers to culinary delights such as wine or the typical Saas sausage - there are many treasures of Saas history to discover in the mountain library. 

Whether exhibitions that turn back the clock, information about the famous Allalin rock or modern art: the temporary exhibitions are always filled with old, new and above all exciting content.

Immerse yourself in the dwarves' cave and listen to the stories of the good-natured Saas dwarves and their exciting adventures.
