Does anyone know whereabouts in Switzerland Wham shot their "Last Christmas" video? This will settle a vitriolic little debate, so thanks...

From this site it appears it was recorded in Saas Fee

Nice place, bad for snowboarders though.

According to this article on German AOL, the video was made near Zermatt, in the resort town of Saas-Fee:

Das Video von “Last Christmas“ hat einen ganz eigenen und besonderen Charme: Es wurde in den schneebedeckten Bergen um Saas Fe in der Schweiz gedreht...

Translation: "The video of 'Last Christmas' has its own particular, special charm. It was filmed in the snow-covered mountains near Saas-Fee in Switzerland...."

If you look closely at the cable car they take up the mountain, you can see the Saas Fee logo on the outside of the cable car.
