Further details
Nendaz is at the heart of the Alps in the Valais region which is the sunniest region in Switzerland. Whether you want activity or relaxation in the Summer or Winter you’ll discover breathtaking scenery stretching out over the valley and the 4,000m high mountains that dominate it. In Winter, you can gorge yourself of a paradise of skiing. Haute Nendaz is linked to the 4-Valleys with its 92 ski lifts and 412 km of pistes. The northern exposure, the high altitude and the Mont-Fort glacier (at 3,300m) guarantee snow from December to April. For children, Tracouet ski area is the ideal area and includes a snow garden, 3 ski schools and a nursery. Tracouet is directly above Haute Nendaz and is linked by a cable car from the town centre.

In Summer, you can discover the area on foot via the network of 8 Bisses (offering 98km of walking) which are paths that run alongside the irrigation canals providing very enjoyable walking as they pass through mountain pastures and woodland and provide stunning views of the valleys and mountains. For more strenuous outings there are 250km of walks to reach the summits. For amateur and advanced mountain bikers there are 10 new circuits for all levels. Nendaz offers all the services of a big resort: nursery, ski school, restaurants, bars, discos, banks and sports shops. There's a heated outdoor swimming pool with a paddling pool opposite the apartment with marvellous views over the Rhône valley. It's open from 2nd June to 2nd September. There's also a fabulous spa complex with 3 outdoor pools, one indoor pools and enough saunas to loose a stone in an afternoon at Saillon which is 30 mins drive down the valley - great to stop off at one of the Valais vineyards on the way back. The International Alpenhorn Festival is held at the end of July and is a must see event.

Guest comments
This was our first trip to Switzerland and this Nendaz apartment was exactly what we were looking for, being the perfect base from which to explore more of the surrounding region. The views from the apartment were superb, especially in the late evening and it was special to be able to soak up the scenery from the balcony. Everything that we needed was provided in this well-appointed modern apartment and the facilities were excellent, including the private swimming pool form which you had fantastic view of the mountains. Thoroughly recommended and guaranteed to ensure a memorable vacation. Kirstin, Julie, Paul & Margaret, St. Albans, Hertfordshire.
Just a quick note to thank you for providing such an excellent apartment and for all the useful info you sent us. As predicted conditions were fantastic and we enjoyed some of the best off piste/ Itinerere skiing we have had in Europe with the runs off Mont Gele particularly popular. Thanks again
Chris Gledhill & family, Isle of Man
