Has anyone been there? What was it like? Where us the best skiing? whats the weather like? I'm going there I'm july.

Thanks
 
in the summer only the glacier is open. its pretty flat but the park is ok, saas fee's is better, zermatt's is a bit limited. the nightlife is pretty fun but expensive. there is a mcdonalds for cheap meals (by swiss standards) and no cars. the matterhorn is pretty imposing. that is the best i can give you at the moment, it's late here.
 
I've got reservations at both saas fee and zermatt but I'm gonna cancel one. Why is think saas fee is better? Should I go there?
 
Can't say anything about zermatt. saas fe is dope, pretty fun park for summer skiing, and the town is chill
 
kickers in saas fee are dope, the rails just stand around and are shaped as bad as u can imagine most of the time...
 
zermatt is decent but as mentioned, saas fee is closeby and it has a better park ....

+there are also a lot of summercamps and infrastructure(tramps and other leisure activities) at saas fee while zermatt is a bit lacking in that department ...(saas fee also has a really cool via ferrata)

but... in zermatt you're at the foot of the matterhorn, quite possibly the most beautiful mountain of europe and you can do really cool glacier walks from zermatt, for example you can walk up to the schonbiel hut at the foot of the matterhorn and spend a night there, it's really pretty cool !

so if you're a parkrat and strictly going for park/freestyle, i'd advice to go to saas fee

if you're more of an alpine adventurer, go visit zermatt and experience the alps for what they really are! :)
 
truth. but the rails were better than normal this winter, there is a new head shaper.

I_am_mod is right, it comes down to whether you just want to lap park, hang out with park rats etc or experience the Alps more.

Personally, I'll be in Saas.
 
Ok so saas has better park and a better town but im going with my family are there groomers for them to ski?
 
not really in saas, there is basically just race training and park in the summer...
 
if you have some experience in glacier walks, you can do wonderful multi-day tours in the area, you're basically in the heart of the alps, you could do a part of the haute route and walk over to the town of arolla (nighting in the schonbiel hut and the bertol hut) then take a bus and train back to zermatt (i did the same but from arolla to saas fee, which is even further, and it was like 25euro )

really beautiful place imho, that area is definitely the most beautiful of the alps :)

have fun and be safe!
 
If you have the chance to go to Zermatt and pass it up, the gods will smite you. By far one of the most impressive ares in the world.
 
i dont know it as well, the glacier there is pretty flat though, flatter than in saas so i can't imagine summer piste skiing is up to much.
 
This too. I went to saas fee but drove with my parents to zermatt for a day and hiked around the matterhorn. Definitely the coolest place i've ever been. If i were you I'd try to at least get a day at zermatt
