Saas-Grund is a municipality in the district of Visp in the canton of Valais in Switzerland . It lies east of Lenzspitze and Dom.

Saas-Grund is first mentioned in 1438 as grunderro.

On 3 April 1849, an avalanche destroyed a house that served as a refuge in avalanche-prone weather, and killed 19 people. After that winter, each building that abutted the hill was extended with a vault, a Lawinengruft. Each of these underground refuges was about 5 meters x 4 meters large, and had an interior height of 2.5 meters.
