Winter Wonderland
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.
