How do I book the Cäsar Ritz tasting menu?

The Mathieu Lessmann Signature Menu has 8 courses and costs CHF 199, including a champagne aperitif, water and coffee. Book 2 days ahead; the menu is fixed, with a vegetarian alternative on request. Dinner dress is business casual or smart elegant casual, with long trousers for men.1

Yes, the Walliserhof is open all year.1

Walliserhof Grand-Hotel & Spa

Name: Walliserhof Grand-Hotel & Spa
Address: Dorfweg 1, Saas-Fee, 3906, CH

At Walliserhof, the chandelier above the pool reflects in the blue water.

A week here, month by month

I come to Walliserhof because the spa is included on arrival and departure days too. Saas-Fee is car-free, though: the car stays in the paid car park at the village entrance.

Is it for you?

My choice for 2 is a Deluxe. In its bathroom, round mirrors hang above the basins.

I’d ask for: A Deluxe with a glacier view.
Worth knowing: Only some Deluxe rooms have a balcony.

The ski bus
In winter, the free hotel bus follows fixed stops and a timetable. A Salewa backpack is available in the room throughout the stay.
With a dog
A dog costs CHF 30 a night. If left alone in the room, hang the do-not-disturb sign; beds and upholstered furniture are reserved for people.
The exact room
Without a written agreement, booking a category does not guarantee a specific room. If you have a particular room in mind, I would seek confirmation before travelling.

What Walliserhof is

Walliserhof is a 5-star hotel in Saas-Fee village. The Grand-Hotel Belle Vue opened here in 1883; after extensive renewal, the hotel reopened under its current name in 2019.¹ Rooms occupy the main building and an apartment building connected without going outdoors.¹ Spruce, oak, slate and wool fabrics feature in the interiors.¹ Dining ranges from gourmet cooking to Swiss fondue and Italian dishes.¹

I would choose Walliserhof for its 2,100 m² Grand Spa, with time for a swim after skiing.

How we choose the hotels

The 5 things that matter, as guests tell them

What do Walliserhof’s guests say? They write it in their reviews, even those who only came for a drink or dinner: we read every one and tell the 5 things that matter, from the location to the bill.

Location
9 in 10 guests who mention it are happy with it. A guest likes being between the bus terminal and cable cars, without an uphill walk back to the hotel.
Room
8 in 10 guests who mention it are happy with it. A slightly hard bed and thin pillow affected one guest’s assessment.
Staff and service
8 in 10 guests who mention it are happy with it. A guest reports that a request for slippers at reception was still unfulfilled the following evening.
Breakfast
9 in 10 guests who mention it are happy with it. The buffet is appreciated for quantity and variety; a vegan guest would have liked more plant-based choice.
Price
5 in 10 guests who mention the price find it fair. A group of 9 adults found the price reasonable, taking the location into account.

How we count

Walliserhof in numbers
What	Guests’ score	Guests who mention it	Happy
Location	8.3	82	90%
Room	7.8	136	82%
Staff and service	7.9	271	77%
Breakfast	8.1	85	91%
Price	–	30	50%

327 guests said so on Google, from 4 January 2020 to 16 October 2026. The other hotels are assessed on the same 5 themes. The score is the average of what they say, from 0 if they speak of it very badly to 10 if they speak of it very well. Where only a few mention something, the score stays close to the guide’s average: a handful of voices does not make a reputation.

The hotels we weigh it against in Saas-Fee and, as a regional comparison, Zermatt:

The Capra
Wellnesshotel Schweizerhof
Hotel Allalin
The Omnia

Price: for 2, the night of 3 December 2026, from 276 CHF on Google Hotels on 23 October 2026.

What a night costs, period by period

A birthday in the room

An odour in Junior Suite

A guest reports a sewage smell in Junior Suite. Lemon fragrance used to cover it made matters worse; reception suggested opening the window.
