The rock looks like it is help in position by the tree, but I suspect it is simply that the rock is balanced and the tree grew up by the rock.
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.

In English - "When we, my wife and I, on a July evening in 1938 with our backpacks hiked up the Chapel path from Saas Grund to Saas Fee, we did not know that we were going home."
