 Poster: A snowHead
|
Just back from a week in St Johann where the entire resort had only two pool tables, one of which in a bar for over 18 year olds. My 9 year old son not impressed.
So he's now asking the question, when we go to Wengen at Easter, will he be able to play pool ? An issue, I must admit, has never previously had any bearing on my choice of ski resort !
Any Wengen localites shed any light ?

masmith, yes or at least probably yes, Chillis certainly used to have a table but I don't know if they still do

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

masmith, I was about to say that the one in the Sunstar is lovely, but then I read your post...wrong sort of pool!

They used to have a table in the Kegelbahn (now called Zlock or something like that). No idea whether it's still there, and not the sort of place you'd want to take a 9 year-old anyway to be honest. The Caprice used to have a pool table in the basement - my kids used to spend hours on it in the days when we stayed there. Sadly the table, like everything else that was good about the Caprice, is long gone.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Would Club Med have pool tables? I cannot remember pool in the bars in Wengen - but then I was not looking for pool.
Adelboden has loads of pool tables(in a pub that caters for the youth market, admittedly). It is not that far from Wengen if you are desperate for a pool fix.

Certainly not desperate, just curious

As far as I remember the bar downstairs below the Silberhorn certainly had a pool table in it last winter. Don't know about anywhere else.

Z'loch, which means hole in swiss german. Now it's the blue monkey, the only place in town I dj at if I ever decide I need more punishment. They have 2 tables in there. As long as the kids are out by 10 (swiss law) it's fine to go to. Tiffanys has a table but to be honest I'd avoid taking kids there.
Under chillis still has a table but it's closed down there quite often, maybe in winter it's more open. It's no longer a club, or at least wasn't last year and I doubt this winter will be any different.

Latchigo, Haven't spotted anything like pool or related at the Club, fairly sure they don't have the space for it...
The Club is neither a "public" place (Fairly strictly guests only, who may invite someone along at best)

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

masmith, Let him play on the ice rink with the curling stones, that will get it out of his system.

In the last week of March? Is it indoors ?
Anyway, it's not a problem, more a matter of satifying his curiousity. Always have and always will find plenty for the little 'uns to do, one way or another. Esepcially with the other type of pool to splash around in and upset those seeking relaxation ... tee hee

You know it makes sense.

masmith, yes it's artificial even though it's outside
