Fire and Flames Night Show<br />

The Snowsports School Saas-Grund lights up the night with its<br />

Fire and Flames Night Show, which takes place next to the Ziebel<br />

lift in the village. Starting at 8:30 pm, the 45-minute show includes<br />

fireworks and choreographed skiing. The legendary “Fireman,” who<br />

provides the grand finale, is not to be missed. You can see a taster<br />

in the image below. The Ziebel lift is available for all to use for free,<br />

from 7:30 pm until the start of the show and from the end of the<br />

show until 10 pm. Why not round off the evening with some Bratwurst<br />

and warm drinks?<br />

Moon Light Fight<br />

On Easter Sunday, the second Moon Light Fight will take place in<br />

Saas-Fee. A thrilling showdown awaits as pairs of racers take on<br />

the illuminated slopes at the edge of the glacier village. Competitors<br />

race each other in a series of head to head battles, which take<br />

place on two parallel slalom courses, starting at 2 pm. The winner<br />

of each battle progresses to the next round.<br />

Racers will start in categories, ranging from under-12s to<br />

over-40s, both men and women. Of course, the sporting highlights<br />

are the finals of the various categories as well as the prize-giving.<br />

You can watch the action with something to eat and a warm drink<br />

from the marquee next to the finish area. At the marquee bar, DJs<br />

are set to keep the party going until one in the morning.<br />

Après-Ski Parade<br />

At the legendary Après-Ski Parade in Saas-Fee, you can celebrate<br />

the end of the season as it should be celebrated: in costume, with<br />

plenty of music and, of course, alcohol. For years, the event has<br />

been considered THE party in the village - so join us for the end of<br />

the <strong>2019</strong>/2020 season!<br />

Starting from midday, the crowds dance their way down<br />

Saas-Fee’s main street. En-route there are no less than eight<br />

decorated bars serving drinks, and various food stalls offering local<br />

and regional delicacies. DJ Kusi and friends man the decks up on<br />

the tower pumping out good vibes and keeping everyone dancing.<br />

Don’t forget to pack a crazy costume, because dressing up is a<br />

must at the Après-Ski Parade. The night continues at a variety of<br />

bars and clubs across Saas-Fee.<br />
