Saas-Fee buying snow

Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. When you register, you get our free weekly -ish snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in Username:- Password:. Or: Register to be a proper snow-head, all official-like! Prev topic :: Next topic. Poster: A snowHead. I had my heart set on Austria for 20th January but have been recommended Saas Fee and am seriously considering booking! Is a picturesque village It is snow-sure Is good for beginners and intermediates Lots of nice restaurants But my only gripe is the transfer time of 3 hours and the cost of skis and passes!!! Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person. Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see? Surely I will be able to pick them up in Resort a lot cheaper??!! You need to Login to know who's really who. Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do. NewSki , You can look at the area lift pass prices for last winter online, the prices you quote don't look out of line. There may also be some currency hedging by Crystal if they are quoting it in pounds. There looks to be an offer of cheap season passes if bought now though. You'll need to Register first of course.

I don't mind spending a while on a train - much prefer it to 3 hours on a coach, though that wouldn't put me off, either tbh. I have heard they will be running the lift pass offer again this year though have not seen it in writing. This was CHF for a whole season last year, which became a good deal even if just for a week. So would hold and wait to see if that come off first unless Crystal are offering a significant discount. Have a look online at the local shops to see what the going rate is. The walk up price won't be cheaper than online. Then you can post your own questions or snow reports After all it is free. As others have said, it is all of those things. Saas fee is one of my favourite resorts, one I like more than a lot of larger, more famous places. The snowsure, extremely high mountains surrounding the village the resort claims 18 m peaks in the vicinity and northerly orientation can mean sunshine is a bit sparse least at village level until later in the season. However, January isn't really 'sitting on the deck of an apres bar' season so that's probably less of an issue. Mountain restaurant-wise, three stick in my memory. The rotating restaurant right at the top of the lift system and the mountain hut at langfluh are both well worth a visit because of the absolutely mind boggling views the food is also pretty good but generally in a swiss cheesy style. Finally, the ski pass includes bus travel services to two other ski areas in the valley both about 10 mins on the bus. Saas grund Hohsaas in particular is well worth a visit, with some long reds and blues and brilliant views of the mountains around saas fee. You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net. Brought up in the Grands Montets thread that I was starting to have second thoughts of sticking with our plan in Chamonix. We loved staying in Argentiere last time but somehow my heart wasn't fully sold on going back to Chamonix next spring. Cancelled our hotel and booked a family room at The Larix, right at the bottom of the pistes. Maybe not a fancy hotel but absolutely love the location. We'll be traveling with two kids so the convenience is great. Look forward to some tips for the family. Also, how easy is it to grab your car in the car park and head over the Zermatt? If not Zermatt, Aletsch Arena? I know Ski the Net with snowHeads. NewSki , Saas Fee is one of my favourite resorts and been several times Partly as wanted to try other places but also because it is damn pricey as are most Swiss resorts. The lift pass, if not on the bargain annual deal, is expensive but the other thing to bear in mind is the cost of food and drinks on the mountain and in the village. If you can get a good half board deal then you can avoid spending too much. It is a lovely place and definitely worth trying if budget allows, the feel of the village and the views on the mountain are spectacular. If you're not tied to Jan I'd be inclined to go later in the season, mid March would be perfect whilst still avoiding the school hols and it's less dark than in January. Indeed, mid-March I'm wondering how the food costs will be Either way, my skis have yet to touch snow in Switzerland other than going off piste in Vallorcine so it will be exciting to go. And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports. ItaloSkier , well the food costs did involve a sharp intake of breath and heart palpitations a few times That said I've not been to Chamonix and suspect that isn't exactly bargain territory either! I haven't done Zermatt from Saas Fee, doing it on the coach was a right old slog from what I heard from others but having your own car might make it more doable. Not quick though either way. I'd be inclined not to bother and do the Zermatt slopes properly another time either from Zermatt itself or from Cervinia which is my only experience of Zermatt to date was great and definitely recommend! Saas Fee slopes aren't as extensive but unless you're a real must have high mileage skier there's plenty for a week with nice variety between the main slopes and Platjen and you also have the other valley resorts easily accessible on the bus or with your car. The top to bottom ski from the revolving restaurant at the top is fantastic if not a little leg burning! Edited for terrible autocorrect wording cock ups! So if you're just off somewhere snowy come back and post a snow report of your own and we'll all love you very much. Rowlski , I think you'll find that Newski went 8 months ago. You know it makes sense. Probably of little interest to the original poster as he went eight months ago! The deal runs until October 31 and means that you are in profit on your fourth day compared to prices of daily or weekly passes. Otherwise you'll just go on seeing the one name:. I hadn't noticed that it was ItaloSkier who had bumped the thread But as ItaloSkier is off there hopefully still relevant. That knock-out deal is amazing given you get the season for less than a week, well worthwhile! Yes, I bumped it. Saas Fee was not on our radar up until very recently. That said, I'm going to keep watching the Winter Card deal. We'll be there 6 days so the pass will absolutely be a savings and will cost less than we would have paid with a family of four buying MBU passes in Chamonix. Well I'm sure you will have a great time ItaloSkier. Will have to see if I can find the name of the place but there is a fantastic restaurant at the very, very far end of the village - you have to walk a good bit beyond most of the houses - but is well worth it for a treat not cheap even by Saas-Fee standards! The revolving restaurant is a must and actually good for a pause anyway as the rapid increase in altitude going up there can have an effect. Top of Platjen area is also a good lunch spot as well as the Gletschergrotte already mentioned above. ItaloSkier , Gleschergrotte is highly recommended and I found much friendlier than the others, although I skied there in November and not all runs and restaurants were open. I can give you a great tip. I did a detour on the way to Zermatt via Saas Fee for a half day of skiing, and visited the Gletschergrotte and had a great welcome as they recognised me straight away. I spent the bulk of my teens and 20s skiing in Colorado where altitudes are higher and can mostly manage but, of course, now I'm 47 and all my ligaments were intact. We'll see. Back in the day, A-Basin was my favorite and the base was above 3, meters. I love the high altitude but, yes, even when younger, trudging it up in boots to ski down from a higher spot was never a joy. Thank you. Thanks, all. Can't wait. We are going to Sass Fee for a few days, and then to Zermatt. We have done Zermatt a number of times, and as both Saas and Zermatt are car free would have thought public transport better? If anyone has taken the bus from Saas to Stalden to pick up the train I would love to hear. For larry there is it would appear. In addition to the above, Can you ski to the whole of the Saas fee area from the top of the Hannig lift? The ski map suggests not, - again love to know as our hotel is by the Hannig lift! When are you going to Saas Fee. We were in a hotel, the Europa, by the Hannig lift last Easter but that lift is not for skiers, but for walking and the toboggan run. It is a trek down the town to either of the main lifts. Thanks for clarifying. The Hannig is not a ski lift any more it was its own self-contained area when I first went there in the s. But it's used only for access to a toboggan run and footpaths these days. It's quite a trek from the Hannig to the main lifts, I'm afraid. Seems like the Wintercard is unlikely to happen this year. Family packages, buying early online, etc? ItaloSkier wrote: Seems like the Wintercard is unlikely to happen this year. I wouldn't worry too much just yet; if I recall correctly, they didn't reach the target number last year but still honoured the deal. After all, 11 million CHF up front is quite good for the early season cash-flow! The deal has been extended to November 4, pass is ment to start today but no lifts open due to avalanche blasting still going. Sass Fee was looking magnificent yesterday! ItaloSkier , Where's the Larix? Can we assume it's in Saas Fee? Edit: just read your subsequent post Maybe not the fanciest but looks nice and the situation next to the slopes, the lifts, ski school meeting point is absolutely top! As much as I like J2ski, their snow forecasts are, more often than not, very optimistic! I haven't seen an e-mail from Saas Fee, yet. ItaloSkier wrote: I haven't seen an e-mail from Saas Fee, yet. I didn't get an e-mail either. Checked my credit card statement and then logged on to my Saas Fee account where the docs for the pass were stored! Ah, ok. Will have to look. New Topic Post Reply.
