In terms of area, Saas Balen is a large municipality. Its territory stretches far into the high mountains on both sides of the Saaservispe. Most of the municipal area therefore consists of unproductive land; nevertheless, Saas Balen has a fairly rich settlement landscape. In addition to the main settlement itself, the municipality has three other primary settlements in the valley, namely Niedergut on the northern municipal border, Bidermatten and part of Tamatten on the southern municipal border. The secondary settlements spread out on both sides of the valley and, in accordance with the system of inner-Alpine multi-level farming, occupy the altitude levels suitable for the various types of cultivation (arable land, supplementary feeding, mountain pastures, alpine meadows). The settlements on the intermediate levels are mostly located on small cleared areas.

Development trends
Saas Balen itself was not as strongly affected by the tourist development of the inner Saas Valley as Saas Grund, for example. Nevertheless, tourist businesses in Saas Balen have also been on the rise in recent decades. Today, there are approximately 500 beds for visitors. A fairly stable population, combined with a substantial amount of remigration of the original inhabitants, has led to increased construction activity in the main settlement.
