Municipality
The town has about fifteen villages. Basse-Nendaz is the administrative capital. Close to Sion, the town of Nendaz is in the middle of the Rhone valley on the left bank. Its immense territory of 8593 hectares has several unique features: it follows the contours of the valley of the same name and it extends from the fertile plain to the eternal snowfields. Forests cover nearly a quarter of its land. It plays a notorious protective role, preserving the devastation of erosion and avalanches. The valley is cut in two by the river Printse ; this raging river is both source and outlet of a multitude of irrigation channels (« bisse ») for irrigation.
Nendaz is surrounded by magnificent peaks, such as that Rosablanche, peaking at 3336 meters. From that point you have the most beautiful alpine viewpoint of the central Valais. Important to know, is that the Mont Fort (3330 meters) ist now accessible to all thanks to the lifts.
Leisure time
The 4 Vallées ski area
410 km of pistes and 89 lifts in a single package: the 4 Vallées ski area flirts with the infinite. Its countless possibilities, as well as the quality of its snow cover and sunshine, make it an exceptional site in more ways than one!
With the Mont-Fort glacier (3,330 m) as its highest peak, this ski area is a delight for both experts and novices alike. Open from November to the end of April, it links the resorts of Verbier, La Tzoumaz and Bruson, as well as Nendaz, Veysonnaz and Thyon.
In summer, we enjoy walks along the various bisses, mountain biking or electric cycling with its magnificent outings, the outdoor swimming pool with a magnificent view of the Alps, the sports center with its tennis courts, climbing wall, volleyball area and soccer cage, and a large green lawn in front of the building
