Veysonnaz – the peak of enjoyment!

Located at 1,350 m altitude, idyllically snug on the sunny slopes of the mountain side, lays Veysonnaz. The typical chalet buildings, the historical Valais mountain farm houses with their ornate decorations and above all the friendliness of the locals give this resorts its very own charm, and presents the impressions of time standing still. This may also originate from the fact that the villagers mainly lived from farming and agriculture until about 1960. After that tourism became the main source of income. No wonder, as the picturesque view of the region provides a unique experience for all visitors. Further the resort also offers great winter sports facilities with its central location in the 4 Vallées.

Ski
The lift pass "Printse" is valid for the areas Nendaz, Siviez, Veysonnaz and Thyon, with a total of 220 km of piste and 51 lifts. The area around Nendaz is easily manageable and therefore popular with families. Other areas however offer great conditions for more ambitious winter sports fans: endless deep powder slopes, boardercross and may fun parks. The "Burton Progression Park" for instance, offers also beginners a good opportunity to try a snow park with its numerous easy modules. On 3 nights during the season the events "Piste de Tracouet" and "Piste de la Dent" and the full-moon race take place - a real highlight for everyone!

And if all this is not enough then the connection points to the other ski areas provide unlimited fun on the pistes! Due to the links between the ski areas Nendaz , Veysonnaz, Thyon and Verbier this ski terrain comprises 412 km of piste over 3 mountain peaks and 4 valleys. Advanced skiers are recommended to take the lift pass upgrade incl. Verbier and Mont Fort. This tit-bit is surely not to be missed on a visit here!

If you are hungry after skiing you will have a grand choice of restaurants in Veysonnaz. Most of these lay their focus on Vallais specialities, such as house-made cheese fondue. This can then be enjoyed together with a wonderful panorama view. Or you can get down to exploring the local bars and discos.

Throughout the day you can entertain yourself in various ways, if you are not on the pistes. You can relax in the spacious spa centre with swimming pool and sauna area, or you can visit museums, such as the Vallais art museum. In close proximity you will find Nendaz which can easily be reached via the free bus connection. There you can try out the 3 km long toboggan run or the ice rink.

Cross-country skiing is not so popular in the 4 Vallées as its big sister Alpine downhill, however the quality of the existent trails is first-class! The tracks lead through wonderful winter landscapes at snow-sure altitudes. A sporty, wild trail at 5 km length can be found in Thyon - Les Chottes, a direct neighbour to Veysonnaz.
