2 Best Restaurants in Saas-Fee, Valais

Sure, it’s touristy, but why pass up a chance to visit what’s purported to be the highest revolving restaurant in the world, at 3,500 meters (11,482 feet) above sea level, which revolves 360 degrees on its axis once every hour, affording amazing views of mountain peaks in the Valais and beyond? Though the menu is short and everything’s served counter-style, the food is fresh and made-to-order and tends toward the hearty, perfect to combat the crisp air outside the picture-perfect windows.

During the winter high season you'll have to be quick in order to snag a table on the sun-filled deck of this traditional restaurant on the main drag; a great location on the way back from the lifts, it's perfect for a cold after-ski brewski or tummy-warming Williamine pear schnapps. Inexpensive yet well-prepared Walliser favorites and tasty snacks hold you for another drink and a few more rays, or stay a bit longer for the fondue Chinoise, boiling beef slices in broth with homemade fries.
