The Saas Valley started attracting tourists from the early 19th century onwards, and the first guesthouse opened in 1833. Tourism became an important part of the local economy, so a tourist infrastructure was established, primarily serving mountaineers. For example, there were smithies specialising in the manufacturer of ice picks, and locals offered their services as mountain guides and experts in the local flora and fauna.
By the mid-19th century almost all the peaks over 4,000 metres in height had been conquered. Winter tourism did not develop until later, although Father Johann Joseph Imseng was trying out his own homemade skis as early as 1849. The first ski clubs were founded in the early 20th century. From then on, the tourists came to the Saas Valley in droves. The road between Saas-Grund to Saas-Fee was not built until 1951; until this date the guests and their luggage were transported to Saas-Fee on the backs of mules.
Even in the 21st century, many customs, deeply rooted in the history of the Saas Valley, remain. These include the wearing of homemade traditional dress at various events and the preservation of traditional music. To this day, several different costume and music societies are a big part of local festivals and parades.

Breaking out from the woodland you have a short walk uphill and are then greeted by the awe inspiring Corrie Fee.
You are surrounded by the steep, mountainous banks of the hills which tower around you. A truly humbling and breathtaking sight, especially in winter.
I am in love with the fall weather we are having...hope it stays for the next two weeks at least! There is always such a short window for good fall photos, and then it just gets cold and all of the colors are gone! :) Have a great sunday!

Crossing the border into USA The United States of America from the Canada across Rainbow Bridge.
To get to USA from Canada, cross Rainbow Bridge from Niagara Falls, Ontario Canada into Niagara Falls, New York USA.
To leave the United States of America, walk through a self locking metal turnstile gate without needing to show any id at this point, half way across the Rainbow Bridge there is a bronze plaque on the bridge fence indicating the United States / Canada International Boundary Line, this area is also notated with the Canadian flag flying next to the USA flag. To enter Canada after crossing the International Boundary Line you must show your passport to customs agents before entering the country of Canada, there is no fee for this process but when you want to cross the same bridge back into the USA there is a .50 cent fee.
Walking across Rainbow Bridge takes under10 minutes, the time to show your passport to the agent at the Canadian border and the agents at the USA when returning to The United States of America cannot be determined as the time varies based on how many border agents or people trying to enter the country at any given time.
There are excellent views of Niagara Falls from both the USA and Canada, but they are both very different, the view of the falls from Canada shows a more natural less built up look, where as the view of Niagara Falls from the USA shows more of a city built up look.

About these 2 days of the trip
Day 1
New York - Corning/Watkins Glen - Niagara Falls (426 miles)
Passengers will be picked up in New York and New Jersey in the morning. We will head north from New York in the morning to the Corning Glass Museum in Corning, NY to learn about glassmaking (during the winter) or Watkins Glen State Park (during the summer). From there, we will continue on to Niagara Falls, NY where we will see Thundering Water Cultural Show.
Corning, NY
Corning Museum of Glass This museum in western New York is dedicated to the history, art, and science behind glassmaking. Its collection contains more than 45,000 objects, some of which date back millennia. It was founded in 1951 and sees 400,000 visitors annually.
Watkins Glen, NY
Watkins Glen State Park Glen Creek has carved a dramatic gorge into the Watkins Glen hillside, resulting in a large, cavern-like network of rock formations. Visitors can take guided tours, do some hiking, or just spend some time in the park.
Available in Summer only. Tour goes to Corning Glass Museum during winter.
Niagara Falls, NY Known and loved for both their power and their beauty, the Niagara Falls offer an experience unlike any other. More water tumbles down from the Niagara River every minute than any other place in the world.
Thundering Water Cultural Show Niagara, like many impressive wonders of nature, is a sacred place for the local Native American people. This show uses dance as a storytelling medium through which to showcase the impact that the falls have had on native culture.

Day 2
Niagara Falls - Niagara Falls Canada - Toronto (83 miles)
We will continue our tour Niagara Falls by heading into Canada to take the Hornblower Cruise boat ride and see an informational movie at the IMAX Theater. We will also ascend the Skylon Tower.

Skylon Tower
This observation tower on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls offers a bird's-eye views of one of the world's favorite natural wonders. The tower stands 520 feet from street level and 775 feet from the bottom of the falls.

The Rainbow Bridge across the Niagara River connects Niagara, Ontario to Niagara, New York. It is an international landmark and impressive architectural feat. In addition to private vehicles, pedestrians and bikes can cross the bridge for a small toll.

Hornblower Niagara Cruise
Get ready to get wet: this world-famous boat ride takes passengers as close to the falls as it is possible to get. Formerly Maid of the Mist, Hornblower now runs Niagara cruise operations on the Canadian side of the Falls.

Saas-Fee can be reached by car or bus—postal buses run during much of the day half-hourly from Brig and Visp, though none provides a service beyond the bus terminal through the length of the town during the winter. No cars are allowed to enter the city (they have to be parked in special car parks outside); only small electric vehicles operate on the streets (and some petrol-driven garbage trucks). The decision to exclude most motor vehicles was made by the village at the time of the construction of the road from Saas Grund in 1951.
