Hotel Bristol, Saas Fee

Deservedly known as the 'Pearl of the Alps’ Saas-Fee is a beautiful, high Alpine village with an excellent snow record and glacier skiing. It’s sometimes said that the quaint resort of Saas-Fee resembles a historic Zermatt – equally charming but with a slower pace of life and a more traditional ambience. The enchanting, traffic-free village is surrounded by a magnificent backdrop of dazzling blue glaciers and towering peaks, including the Dom - the highest mountain located entirely within Switzerland. The glacial ski terrain is both picturesque and wild. It is a truly stunning resort to ski in, explore, and admire the view. Families will appreciate the friendly atmosphere as well as the fantastic, large beginners’ area in the village centre. There is also plenty of entertainment to keep you occupied off the slopes, from the state of the art Aqua Allalin pool and spa complex to the Feeblitz bobsleigh/rollercoaster. 

What is Christmas without Whams! Last Christmas? 2024 marks the 40th anniversary of Wham! releasing the infamous Christmas song. The music video was filmed in various locations across Saas Fee, and you can commemorate the song by going on a tourist office organised Wham! Walk to the filming locations including the Felskinn cable car and the chalets used in Wildi.  Mulled wine and 80's music is included - 80's dress is not essential but takes you back to 1984 (pay locally). The Walliserhof are reviving the memory of when George Michael and the film crew stayed at the property, and have organised a range of events held throughout December - they even have an augmented reality scavenger hunt to find the missing props for the Last Christmas music video! An 80s themed party is being held at the sports centre to celebrate the anniversary, a night full of glitz, glamour and the best music of the era will end the festivities (pay locally).
