Nendaz is a cosy winter sports resort based in a traditional mountain village, on a plateau, in a convenient position with beautiful views, Nendaz shares the same ski area as Verbier – but without the Verbier prices!
With all the winter sports activities you would expect in one of Switzerland’s premier ski domains (the Four Valleys), Nendaz is a wintersports enthusiast’s dream! There are currently 92 lifts and 90 pistes with about 412km of piste.
Nendaz has its own ski area which links into the Four Valleys or you can head up to Siviez at the crossroads of the ski domain and explore it from there. It takes just 20 minutes to ski from Verbier back to Siviez at the end of the day. The skiing runs from mid December to late April most years. There are a number of ski schools teaching both skiing and snowboarding, and all have English speaking instructors on hand. Snow shoe excursions, cross country skiing and toboganning are also popular here. There are creche facilites for children during the ski season.
Please note: The access to the chalet is down a steep, fairly narrow road. Snow chains are often necessary in winter.
NB Helpful hint – have a pair of gloves handy, a torch and something to kneel on. It’s not much fun fitting snow chains in the dark during a blizzard!
