Saas Fee is a winter wonderland in swiss Alps. Beautful white mountains surrounding this charmy little village. The best thing is to go there with some good friends and have some fun together. I love cross country skiing and took some girls with me to try some white slopes in the nature. It was great fun. I am proud of a good friend at http://unasemplicepassione.blogspot.com/ who did cross country first time in her life and really liked it.
Passionate food lover as we are there were many evenings of cooking together and trying some swiss culinary winter highligts in nearby restaurants. It is not possible to have skiing holiday in Alps without trying swiss Fondue. Every village in Alps making their on one with local cheese. Yummy.
The other local speciality is the Apfelstrudel. I thought it was an austrian speciality but in Saas Fee I had the best Appelstrudel ever. I had to go back to this little apfelstrudel cafe every evening after cross country skiing and enjoy this piece of heaven mmmmmmm.
One evening we had a pancake evening. The best thing with pancakes is that you can eat it them with almost everything: jam, cheese, salmon, cottage cheese, fruits, ice cream.
I grow up with pancakes. We had them almost every weekend. My dad made always big thin ones and my mum little fat ones with buttermilk. In Saas Fee I made the big thin pancakes with salmon and cottage cheese.
