Nendaz information
Nendaz is located on a sunny terrace above the Rhone-river, near Sion (17km) which is the capital of Valais.
In wintertime it has everything a winter sports enthusiast could want, being at the heart of the 4Vallees ski region with its over the 400 km length of pistes.
During the warmer season, it's a popular holiday resort for bikers and hikers.
A modern holiday resort has grown up all around the centre of this delightful old valais village with its traditional timber houses.
Situated between 1300 and 1500m ,it has a panoramic views of the Alps.
Siviez, eight km to the south in the Valley, also belongs to the community.
It's sometimes also called "Super Nendaz" and cableways run here to the top of the Montfort, at 3330m. It is the highest peak of the Four Valleys ski resort.
The village is packed with cafes, bistros and restaurants.There are also many great places off the main roads, on the side of mountains and up the Valleys, such as those in Planchouet and on the road to Siviez and La Tsoumaz. There is a good, but not "wild and woolly" night life .
Smaller and more controllable then Verbier, it is often easier to meet your fellow skiers. On the other hand it's because of the significant local population of over the 5000 ( Verbier 2200 ) an all year resort where you can always get a croissant, a good meal and beer even out of the season.
here are 4 large and a couple of smaller supermarkets. Migros is the biggest but the others 2 PAM's and COÖP are also well stocked.

The ski pass system is full of variety, allowing skiers to tailor make a pass to suit their ability. You will enjoy a memorable family holiday including children's ski centre, crèche, games library, ice-rink and special low rates forfamily ski-passes.
