About Nendaz:
Nendaz is one of the best kept secrets in the Alps! Nendaz is a vibrant and modern resort situated on a sunny plateau/terrace at between 1300m and 1500m, with panoramic views of the Bernese and Vaud Alps. Nendaz is a dual season resort with a host of outdoor activities available both in the winter and summer time. In Spring/Autumn Nendaz is much quieter but is ideal for those seeking fresh air and a pleasant atmosphere to recharge their batteries. The resort boasts all the usual amenities including supermarkets and other retail shops, sports shops offering everything from ski equipment rental (one such shop is within the same block as the apartment!) and ski schools to restaurants, bars and discothèques necessary for that Après Ski feeling after a fun day’s skiing. As there are no large hotels in Nendaz, there are no large tour companies to crowd our slopes and restaurants!
Winter:
Nendaz lies at the centre of one of the largest skiing areas in Europe and the largest in Switzerland, the 4 Valleys which covers over 400km of slopes and 92 lifts linking Nendaz with the famous resort of Verbier along with Siviez, Thyon, Versonaz and Les Collons. The network of ski trails to an altitude of 3300m caters for all levels from beginners to expert and the off piste skiing (commonly known here as free riding) has come into its own in the 4 Valleys. If you want you can ski all year round thanks to the glacier off Mont Fort. The 4-Valleys region is one of the only seven ski areas worldwide to hold 5 stars of excellence.
