Discover Nendaz, a charming village in the heart of the 4 Valleys

Between the Rhône Valley and the high peaks of Valais, Nendaz has many faces. That of a warm mountain village, a gateway to the 4 Valleys, and a destination where a day of skiing can end in the warm waters of a spa or around a raclette.

A village between valley and high mountains

The municipality of Nendaz stretches from the plain of Aproz, at about 500 meters above sea level, up to the ridges of the Rosablanche, beyond 3 300 meters. This range explains the diversity of its landscapes: orchards in the valley, villages, forests, alpine pastures, and then the world of the high mountains.

In winter, Haute-Nendaz becomes the natural starting point for days on the slopes. Yet the destination is not limited to its ski area: its architecture, its bisses, and its traditions give the stay a deeply Valaisan identity.

Les Chalets Les Rindes, a characterful address

For this getaway, the stay begins at Chalets Les Rindes. The wood, the warm volumes, and the mountain décor immediately create an authentic atmosphere, without giving up modern comfort.

This type of accommodation makes it possible to experience Nendaz at a more personal pace: breakfast facing the snow, a quiet return after skiing, and long evenings around the fire. It becomes part of the trip, not just the place to sleep.

Starting with comfort at the Spa des Bisses

The Spa des Bisses invites you to slow down even before putting on your skis. The wellness facilities and pools let you enjoy the mountains in a different way, with the landscape as a backdrop. After the cold outside, the contrast with the warm water makes the experience especially pleasant.

Skiing in the heart of the 4 Valleys

From the Tracouet gondola, the ski area gradually opens up over the 4 Valleys. The connected sectors make it possible to vary the slopes and panoramas, whether you are looking for a quiet day or a more sporty route.

To discover the ski area without wasting time and to progress with confidence, a few hours with an instructor can be invaluable. As always in the mountains, openings, snow conditions, and the weather should be checked before setting off.

Raclette in the barn, a very much alive tradition

In Nendaz, gastronomy does more than accompany the stay: it creates memories. Raclette in the barn combines the taste of melted cheese with a simple, generous, and deliberately convivial atmosphere.

The cheese is heated and then scraped off little by little, in a setting that directly tells the story of the local terroir. More than a dinner, it is a way to encounter local traditions without solemnity.

Extending the evening around a good table

After an active day, returning to the chalet and a carefully prepared meal is a true luxury. Regional products, generous recipes, and the atmosphere of the wood fire naturally prolong the mountain experience.

Preparing a winter stay in Nendaz

• Access: Nendaz can be reached from Sion by road or public transport.
• To book: accommodation, passes, ski lessons, spa treatments, and gastronomic experiences during busy periods.
• To check: weather, snow conditions, and lift openings before each day on the mountain.
• For whom? Couples, families, and groups who want to alternate skiing, relaxation, and local cuisine.
• Good pace: keeping half a day without skiing makes it possible to enjoy the village and the spa without rushing.

Why choose Nendaz?

Nendaz succeeds in combining the scale of the 4 Valleys with a more intimate experience. Skiing gives energy to the stay, the spa brings calm, the chalet creates a cocoon, and Valaisan cuisine brings everyone together at the end of the day.

It is precisely this balance that makes you want to come back: a complete destination, but never impersonal, where the mountains are experienced as much outdoors as around a table.
