Nendaz is fast becoming much better known in the UK, but has long been a favourite of European skiers. It is in the middle of the marvellous 4 valleys region, which is one of the largest and most highly-rated areas in the Alps with over 400k of pistes + even more off piste. There's great walking/biking in the rest of the year, too - (lifts stay open until September). Nendaz is wonderfully located to explore the entire region. It's linked in to all the other areas on one lift pass and takes less time to get to the top of Mont Fort (3,300m) than it does from the much more crowded Verbier. The Printze region is really good and has some great restaurants. The ski schools are excellent & the 'kids' area' at the top of Nendaz (reached from the lift 200m from the chalet) is huge, safe, great fun, and has a very good bar/restaurant as well! Good creches (Nendaz & Siviez) if kids not ski age.
