Owner profile
About the owner
My husband and I live in Jersey, and after visiting Nendaz in the Summer we were amazed at how beautiful the area is. The roads leading up to Nendaz were surrounded by vineyards and apricot trees and because of their own micro-climate the temperatures are the same as the South of France but without the humidity. The Valais region is the sunniest region in Switzerland. Both being avid skiers we returned in the winter and were very impressed as Haute Nendaz is linked to the 4-Valleys ski area with 92 lifts and over 412 km of pistes for all abilities. There is breathtaking scenery here over the valley and the 4,000 high mountains that dominate it. It is well worth a visit in Summer or Winter...or be like us and discover how lovely both seasons are!
Year purchased: 2005
Why the owner chose a home in this location
The location is perfect. It is close to the telecabine, restaurants, shops, supermarket, banks, post office, ski and mountain bike hire, and yet up a quiet private road. We have a small stream running next to the chalet and this is named Maretse - hence we decided to name the chalet after this! It is a French speaking village, very friendly and welcoming for families with children. It is also easy to access from Geneva Airport, or flying into Sion Airport during the winter is just 20 mins up the hill.
Unique benefits of the property
We love the chalet for the position is second to none for convenience to everything, yet it is in a quiet position. It is a luxury open plan lounge/dining room and kitchen which gives the air of space. All bedrooms have bathrooms en suite and the underfloor heating plus the log fire give the chalet a cosy feeling.
