Zermatt Nightlife Tips by Tripack

Nightlife Spot: Skiing by full moon

If full moon night make you crazy or just in a fool mood, why not to plan a white night.

Relax with a pleasant après ski athmospere and some "Gluhwein" (hot wine) glasses. Then wait the night by having a cheese fondue at the Kulm restaurant hotel after your ski day around the Gornergrat paradise.

After all you would not leave this cosy place, but let's go downhill by skiing under the lights of the full Moon and enjoy these unique sensations...

Nightlife Spot: Papperla Pub - Schneewittchen nightclub

Very popular for apres-ski sessions. Do not miss also the Schneewittchen nightclub downstairs if you are a nightbird.

As the Papperla self description said:
"One day on the slopes without Apres Ski at the Papperla Pub is like Sex without an orgasm. Here you'll find Ski bunnys, Yetis, Racers, Ski Instructors and tons of party people doing there thing to old classics and Apres Ski music. It doesn't matter if you're outside at the "Snow Bar" or inside, our Papperla Pub team, Liveband and DJ make for a great atmosphere and loads of fun.
Papperla Pub is also a destination point in the Summer. We have one of the largest selections of beer on tap in Zermatt, free Internet corner, free wireless and the casual Pub atmosphere which makes for a great meeting place for the young and old. "

Nightlife Spot: Little Bar

You can easly miss it, so watch the steps when you go in and especailly when you go out ;-)

A small but long bar where around a dozen of people (please squeezzed!) could take place to taste a wide range of spirits... you will also find a small and more initmate room if you could reach the bottom...

Try the famous local Sinalco, but don't ask Anny about the secret home-made recipe... I have only recognized the Abricotine and Williamine so far... keep the throat warm in any case ;-)
