Perched at 1400 metres in the middle of the 4 Vallees, Haute Nendaz is a lively resort with good amenities for winter and summer holidays. The resort retains an unspoilt charm with an atmosphere that is genuinely warm and welcoming. There is a good choice of shops, bars, clubs and restaurants – all clustered below the cable car station. The mass market has yet to discover the resort, so you can enjoy the attractions of the village and mountains without the crowds.

Winter
Being in the heart of the 4 Vallees, snow enthusiasts can access over 400 km pistes stretching from Les Collons, Thyon and Veysonnaz over to world famous Verbier. The Nendaz section of the 4 Vallees domain rises to 3330 meters to the glacier of Mont Fort. All snow sports are here. Whatever your interest, from downhill skiing and snowboarding to off-piste, ski touring, cross country and heliski, it is all on the doorstep. There are a number of ski schools based in Haute Nendaz with instructors qualified for every snow sport.

And it’s not just for the experts. Nendaz has excellent credentials as a family-oriented centre with good facilities including a toy library and ice rink

Summer
The resort is a magnet for hikers who can explore 95km of terraced paths beside the “bisses” or irrigation channels, some of which date back to medieval times. Although they are carved into the mountain, these trails have such a gentle incline that all the family can negotiate them. Some are even classed as suitable for pushchairs.

For those seeking thrills with faster wheels, there are over 200km of mountain bike tracks. Cyclists have numerous options including the Tour du Mont Fort which offers an easy rider version of the Verbier-Nendaz-La Tzoumaz circuit by making judicious use of the ski lifts or the Pro rider tour which avoids the lifts. The Grand Raid classed as the longest mountain bike race in the world passes right through Nendaz near the beginning of its 132km challenge.
