Municipality
Commune of Nendaz, with its capital in Basse-Nendaz.
The commune comprises some 15 villages and hamlets. Basse-Nendaz is the administrative and parish capital.
Close to Sion, the commune of Nendaz lies in the middle of the RhĂ´ne valley, on the left bank. Its vast territory of 8,593 hectares has several unique features: it follows the contours of the valley of the same name and stretches from the fertile plain to the eternal snows.
Nearly a quarter of the land is forested. It plays a notoriously protective role, guarding against the devastation of erosion and avalanches. The valley is bisected by the Printse, a tumultuous river that is both the source and outlet of a multitude of irrigation channels.
Nendaz is crowned with magnificent peaks, such as the Rosablanche (3336 m), the most beautiful alpine viewpoint in central Valais, and the Mont-Fort (3330 m), now accessible to all thanks to the ski lifts
