It’s hard to say. You will have crowds on both months. If I choose, I would go in January because it’s cheaper (no longer Christmas week) and fewer tourists in Zermatt itself. There are many more visitors to Zermatt village than skiers, so there are big crowds and everything is booked in advance in the village. The slopes may be less crowded, although I don’t think there is a big difference between Dec and Jan when it comes to slopes.

@@SwissAdventureThanks! How about snow quality? Is it still good in January?

@@sebastianinigo3681 It's always good there unless you wait till April (when snow becomes watery at the village level). Generally, the entire area is very elevated and has early snowfalls, so this is definitely not the slopes that will have bad snow. The only issue could be that on some days the winds are too strong to let people go to the very top. This is hard to predict and you will see it only if you come. But also it's not like everyday, I encountered it a few times only (out of dozens). So, yes, January (especially later dates) is great for skiing in Zermatt. My personal preference is March. Day time is long enough (no early closure of slopes), it's not too cold (it can get chilly in January) and no watery snow conditions.

Not really. You don't normally relax there fully. But they're fun!

@ if the weather is nice yeh sure haha

@@maximilianblank for sure, bad weather and slippery snow make it hard. But at that elevation, you won't have melted snow before the season ends.

That part belongs mostly to Wengen and Mannlichen. So yes, this video shows the area around Grindelwald First.

Thank you! Doing my best.

not to Zermatt , only to Riffleberg. The official map is here: www.zermatt.ch/en/Lifts-pistes/Panokarte-Ausflugsberge/Piste-map-Winter-panorama

Yeah, I've gotten exactly the same question xD

Thank you!!!

Sorry, it was hard to record everything. I tried to make a general video to give an impression about Saas Fee. Quite like in Zermatt, there is a lot more to show. Pity I have little time to do it (one video takes a few days usually).

@@SwissAdventure Understood! Will be back in Saas-Fee in March and April.

Thank you! ☺

iPhone, believe it or not!

End of December. But it's the same until the end of April. Snow stayed this year until late June at 3000m. And near 3800m, snow is always there

yes!

I filmed it in December. February through March and early April are great times. Later in April the snow closer to the village becomes a bit too wet. But it also depends on the year. Sometimes it's great. Sometimes not. Dec-Jan is not so nice because of an early sunset.

March is the best time to come skiing. Sunset is not so late. Snow is definitely everywhere. Even in the summer, you can ski at the top of the mountain (3800 m). The season the Zermatt valley normally ends somewhere around April 20. In April it can get a bit too warm sometimes. But in March it's perfect.

Depends. Perhaps 3-4 if you're a good skier and want to ski each slope a few times. But if you want to enjoy the slopes in different ways, then a week or two.

@@SwissAdventure thank you for your response. I live in the USA but my daughter lives in Northern Italy so I hope to go back again and do some skiing

Recorded in Feb 2024.

Yes, the area is a bit expensive. But not as much as Zermatt and, if you come during the week, it should be least expensive.

Saas-Fee ist eines der 80 Skigebiete, welches im MagicPass beinhaltet ist. Dazu kommen 37 Sommerdestinationen. Der MagicPass kostet CHF 399.-, wenn man ihn früh kauft. Der Preis steigt dann an. So kostet er, bis 10.09.2024 gekauft CHF 459.-. Ab 6 Skitage in Saas-Fee, ist der (Kaufpreis CHF 399.-) also bereits günstiger. Ein günstiges Einzelzimmer im 3-Stern Hotel, kostet mit Frühstück ca. 150.-/Nacht.

Thank you a lot! Doing my best to make it entertaining but not too loaded with a talking head.

Thanks so much! 😊

You are welcome!

Oh yes! I put it there intentionally, to see the reaction. Next time it will be a more traditional soundtrack 😂

Yes, although it's not as tall as K2, it's still marvelous and stunning in any weather!

I agree. Looks like a lot of cat walks. Not my favorite !

This is a mountain not a hill

That's funny I see a lot of big wide open ski runs

​@@R.R.in-Cali honestly where? 4:04, 5:25, 6:10, 6:30, 8:02, 9:11, 10:23, 10:55, 15:35, 16:28, 17:47, 23:39, 25:07, 26:01, 31:26, 34:44, 36:40. The few wide slopes we can see (e.g. at 21:00), ultimately end up in a narrow path again --> 23:39

Thank you!
