Saas-Balen the insider tip in the Saastal
In terms of area, Saas Balen is a large municipality. Its territory extends on both sides of the Saaservispe far into the high mountains. The largest part of the municipal area consists of unproductive land; nevertheless, Saas Balen has a fairly rich settlement landscape. In addition to the main settlement itself, the municipality in the valley has three other primary settlements, namely Niedergut at the northern municipal border, Bidermatten, and a part of Tamatten at the southern municipal border. The secondary settlements spread out on both valley slopes and take the appropriate altitude levels for the various types of management according to the system of inner-alpine multi-stage economy (arable land, pasture, mountain pasture, alpine pastures). The settlements on the intermediate levels are usually located on small clearing areas.
Development trends
Saas Balen itself was not as strongly caught in the wake of the tourist development of the inner Saastal as, for example, Saas Grund. Nevertheless, the tourist businesses in Saas Balen have been increasing in recent decades. Today there are about 500 guest beds. Relatively stable population figures have, moreover - together with a certain out-migration from the old core - led to greater construction activity in the main settlement.
