In summertime, Nendaz is a mountain-bikers’ and walkers’ paradise, with many kilometres of marked trails from virtually outside the door of the chalet. The area is famous for its bisse walks, rambles alongside the little irrigation channels that wind their way round the mountains, as well as a range of other mountain tracks. The bike routes cover all levels of difficulty and are well signposted in Nendaz and the surrounding area.
The area also offers thermal baths and a spa in nearby Ovronnaz, horse riding, golf in Sion (or further afield in Verbier or Crans Montana, both championship courses), boat trips on Lake Geneva (40 minutes away) and sightseeing in Sion (the old medieval town is worth seeing and there’s a great Friday market), Martigny (Roman ruins and museums) and further afield. Nendaz is also internationally famous for its annual Alphorn festival, held in late July/early August each year
