Get to know the resort

Veysonnaz is a small, sunny village clinging to a terrace on the eastern side of the 4 Vallées, the 410 km domain it shares with Verbier and Nendaz. Below it drops the Piste de l'Ours, a steep, perfectly pitched black that regularly hosts World Cup races. Quiet and traditional, it is a calm, good-value base from which to ski one of the great Swiss circuits.

Good to know

  • The terrain is well balanced: 0 green, 45 blue, 70 red and 28 black runs, which suits a mixed group skiing together at different levels.
  • The base sits at 1300 m and the top reaches 3330 m, a profile that holds snow well across a normal winter (score 83/100).
  • It is one of the bigger domains here, 410 km of piste on 92 lifts, enough to ski a different sector every day of a week.
  • The lifts typically turn for about 19 weeks a season, planning around late January to late February tends to land the most reliable cover.
