 Poster: A snowHead
|
A group of 5 of us are off to Saas Fee at the end of February for 10 days. Having never been before we are keen to find out some eating and drinking hotspots before we go!
Can anyone recommend any restaurants/bars/pubs we should try out while we're there?

I thought Saas Fee was surprisingly lively when I was there a couple of years ago. Best time was between about 16h and 18h when a couple of bars that spillout onto the street near the nursery slopes are at full throttle. We enjoyed one of these in particular - the Black Bull. A glorified garden shed really butit pumps out loud German europop and is great fun. Later in the evening we spent time at a pubby place witha long but very narrowbar area - I think itmight have been Nestis - again v good and lively. We tried - not v hard - to find the Poison club but gave up. I'd be interested to hear what that's like if anyone has been there.

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

Apres is fab. Can't miss it down the main road where the electric bus/train stops just over the bridge. Several bars to choose from.
Two mountain restaurants are worth at least one stop. One is up the Vernissage which is up the Plattjen side. Down the red run to the right. And the other is the Gletsher Grotte, off of the blue run 4b? Keep to the left and there's a run in through the trees.
I found the poison Bar. We stumbled across it on a walk looking for the Metro Bar. A little board outside, door facing sidewards which led down some stairs in near darkness then through a door at the bottom and your in. Was ok. Popcorn Bar is ok too. I would say the apres far out ways the night time stuff.
The village was lovely and had a great time due to the atmosphere.
If the conditions are ok and not slushy then I would recommend the toboggan run at the top of the Hanning. We did it with the TO and had a gluwein and strudel at the restaurant at the top. Great fun
Have a nice time

+1 for the Black Bull, it is most people's idea of a classic apres place, especially in good weather. Very close to slopes, loud music, lots of people, you really cant miss it unless you are profoundly deficient in sight and hearing. Try not to get tempted into buying a metre of vodka and red bull, or worse, several. Don't ask me how I know this.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

The Kuhstall gets my vote, followed by the Popcorn bar

Went to Saas Fee in December 2006, can't remember the name of the hotel we stayed at, but Nesti's Bar was underneath it and was really good for apres. Very busy, good atmosphere and friendly bar staff.

Wicked! Thanks all for your recommendations - we shall definitely try a few of those places out but I will indeed be keeping well away from that metre of Vodka and Redbull!! That sounds lethal but also... very nice! One of those and I'd want more, eek!
Also, does anyone know if any of these places have a 'Happy Hour'?
thanks again

lgillon8477, Hotel is Cristiana!
lgillon8477, Agree with all of the above
Off the lift and straight to the Black Bull
From 6-8 The Metro Bar and Nestis are the best choices.
Late Late Show - Popcorn or Poision at the weekend.
Food Vernissage & Gletsher Grotte are both super if not a little pricy!!!
There is a Popcorn Light right up the top and off to the left near the long T Bar which is not a bad coffee stop and the Morina is good to on the hill
In the Town Don Chicios - Seriously do not miss this place it is past the metro bar further up the town but the best Italian you will ever have
There is also a place called Bodman a little out of town it is like a mini zoo but has cracking food and novelty factor as it has its own Camels and Lamas
