Put quite simply, the ski station of Haute-Nendaz is one of the best kept secrets in the Alps. It is one of the principal villages in Switzerland’s Four Valleys ski area, and sits at an altitude of 1365m, offering excellent skiing and boarding with pistes up to a dizzying 3330m altitude. And even though it's now on the World Cup snowboard circuit, it's still somewhere the main British tour operators haven't found yet, so it's completely unspoiled.
Nendaz is just over the mountain from Verbier and only a 90-minute car journey from Geneva airport. The village therefore provides the ideal staging post for a ski or boarding holiday to remember.
The full-area lift pass gives you access to the pistes of Verbier, Siviez, Thyon and Veysonnaz, with the magnificent Mont Fort peak rising above the village as a challenge to even the most intrepid of skiers or boarders.
At 3,300m, the Mont-Fort symbolises the peak of the 4-Valleys domain that offers 412 km of pistes and 92 ski installations. It always offers excellent skiing conditions. Due to its exceptional scenery, the Mont-Fort is also an excursion point for non-skiers. It also meets the needs of freeriders who are in search of freedom, untouched nature and powder snow. In Nendaz, freeriding has formed part of the local culture for a number of years.
From Nendaz it’s possible to get to Siviez by shuttle bus service included in the all-inclusive ski package or by car. A veritable crossroads of ski domains, Siviez allows you to ski in the direction of Nendaz, Veysonnaz, Thyon or Verbier.
With its frozen lake, Tracouet is a preferred location for children and beginners. A snow garden and specially adapted installations allow children to discover the joys of skiing in a fun way. Attractive rates for ski passes for families are available. A nursery welcomes children from 18 months upwards and allows parents to take advantage of the variety of the ski domain.
