Ski-in/ski-out

Sunny, balcony Nendaz has slope-side chalets and residences at Haute-Nendaz by the main gondola; it is the most affordable gateway into the vast 4 Vallées.

Get to know the resort

Nendaz sits on a sunny shelf high above the Rhône, the biggest of the villages that make up the 4 Vallées, Switzerland's largest linked ski area at 410 km. From Haute-Nendaz the lifts climb toward the glacier on Mont-Fort at 3330 m, the high point shared with neighbouring Verbier, with vast intermediate cruising and serious off-piste in between. It is far better value than Verbier across the valley, which makes it a smart base for skiing the whole domain.
