Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi,
Has anyone on here done a season in Saas Fee.
I’ve been offered a job there and just wondering what people think of doing a season there. Last season I was in Tignes and the previous year I was in Meribel.
How does it compare to these places for slopes, apres and just general seasonnaire life?
Thanks
Ben

@Benno23, I've being skiing there for years, and it is a high altitude small resort, with excellent beginners slopes and intermediate runs. The best skiing is off piste, but the last few years haven't had the snow fall to exploit it.
If you are high miler it won't suit, as you can easily ski every lift/run in a day. It can also be very cold, as the village doesn't see the sun in the depths of winter.
Saas-Fee definitely isn't a party town, but there is slope side Apres (well nearly), and a few bars open to the early hours.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@Benno23, Look elsewhere as you will find the skiing area too small - only one black run - and social life very limited.

We have been on holiday there about 7 times at Easter and loved it. Our friend did a season there and hated it. She had done lots of seasons before at other resorts and she certainly thought it was the worst one. One of the problems is the village doesn't get much sun as when the sun is low in the winter months it doesn't get above the mountain tops. It can make a cold depressing village if there all season though the snow keeps it condition better.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I do think people priorities are strange at time.For the life of me what does it matter whether the resort has masses of nightlife or a few.
When you are out for a season you will become a regular at one or two frequented by other seasonaires, Saas Fee has enough such places.
Miles and miles of same same slopes or being situated in a wonderful arena of glaciated 4000metre peaks for 4months usually skiing powdery pistes all season not a few weeks,Saas Fee will keep most happy
