LIFT OFF

The prices for lift passes are available on Télénendaz’s website. Click here to get straight to all the info you need about lifts, map, snow report and restaurants.

Snow holidays often start with a frantic dash to join a queue for a ski pass so that you can get on to the slopes as quickly as possible. Not here. You can book your ski pass online before you arrive. All you need to do then is collect it at the Tracouet lift station in the resort. If you book well in advance you may not even need to do that as Télénendaz will post ski passes if requested at least 1 month in advance.

The figures below list the prices in Swiss Francs for the 2011-12 season. The 4 Vallées ticket covers 412 km in Haute-Nendaz, Siviez - Mont-Fort, Veysonnaz, Thyon / Les Collons, Verbier, La Tzoumaz, Bruson and Evolène. The Printse ticket covers 220 km of the local sector including Haute-Nendaz, Siviez (but not Mont-Fort), Veysonnaz, Thyon / Les Collons and Evolène.

To obtain the family rate, you need:

* A minimum of 3 people paying, including 1 parent.
* Children must be single and born during or after 1992.
* The ski-passes must be valid for the same period for all members of the family.
* ID is required for each member of the family .

Child rate is for those born between 1997 and 2004
Youth rate is for those born between 1992 and 1996
Senior rate is for those born between 1935 and 1947
Those born after 2005 or before 1934 are free.

LIFT PASS DEAL

Secret Alps guests are entitled to a special price on the 6-day 4 Valleys individual pass. We are delighted to be able to offer 4 per cent off the price when bought before arrival.  All will be revealed when booking Secret Alps.  See other special offers here.

SNOW INSURANCE

The last thing you want to consider when planning a holiday in the Alps is that something could go wrong. Whether you plan a tranquil break with low risk activity or a seriously adrenaline-fuelled adventure, it is reassuring to know that help will be available, if necessary.

When buying a lift pass in Nendaz you can also buy insurance. A policy called “Snowcare” is available at CHF4 per ski day. This guarantees in case of lost ski days:
        Ski pass refund
        Ski lesson refund
        Ski rental refund
On top of that it provides (in case of an accident on the slopes):
        Cost of assistance and rescue
        Transport by ambulance / helicopter
        Medical Expenses
        Medical repatriation
        Legal assistance
        Civil liability

There is a simpler insurance option also available when buying a lift pass that simply protects your ski pass. For CHF2 per ski day, you can have your ski pass refunded (pro rata temporis) due to illness, accident or the resort being closed due to bad weather.

If you want either of these policies remember to ask when you are buying your lift pass so that insurance details are stamped on to it.

Skiers who are skiing more than 7 days per annum and whose existing insurance already provides some cover may well be interested in the SOS deal from Air-Glaciers, the air rescue company based in Sion. At a cost of CHF35 for an individual; CHF45 for a single-parent family; CHF80 for a family you can get air rescue and medical assistance throughout Switzerland that runs for a year. See www.air-glaciers.ch for the details.
