More about Nendaz
The Resort
Skiers and snowboarders are drawn to Nendaz for its incredible variety. While beginners have dedicated areas like Tracouet, the resort truly shines for intermediate to expert riders. From the legendary steep descents of Mont Fort to the seven marked freeride itineraries (yellow routes), powder hounds will find endless challenges. The central Siviez sector acts as the ultimate springboard to the entire 4 Vallées system, including connections to Verbier, Veysonnaz, and Thyon.
Off the slopes, Nendaz is vibrant yet relaxed, with a good selection of restaurants, cozy bars, and activities ranging from snowshoeing to a luxurious spa. Its panoramic views of the Bernese, Valais, and Vaud Alps, combined with its strategic location, make it a top-tier destination for those who want world-class skiing without the premium price tag of its glamorous neighbors.

Nendaz is a gateway to the 410km of the 4 Vallées, offering everything from gentle, sun-drenched nursery slopes at Tracouet to legendary, thigh-burning mogul fields on Mont Fort. The area is particularly renowned for its exceptional freeride terrain, featuring expansive off-piste zones and marked, avalanche-controlled 'yellow' itineraries.
