Resort: Nendaz lies on a sunny terrace in the canton of Valais, above the Rhone Valley close to Sion. The terrace of Nendaz, stretches from 1300m to 1400m in altitude, and commands a fantastic view of the Bernese, Valais and Vaud Alps. A modern holiday resort has grown up all around the centre of this delightful old Valais village with its traditional timber houses, barns and grain stores.
Winter: In winter Nendaz has everything a winter sports enthusiast could want, being at the heart of ‘Les 4 Vallées’ ski region (Verbier, Veysonnaz, Nendaz, La Tsoumaz & Thyon) with 92 transport facilities and 412km of pistes. There are also off-piste activities with 12km of cross-country ski trails, 100km of winter hiking trails and 40km of showshoe tracks.
Summer: Around Nendaz there are approximately 250 kilometres of hiking trails, a network of paths running from the orchards in the valley up to the high alps. A particular highlight is the excursion by cableway or mountain bike to the glacier terrain on Mont Fort, with its expansive view of 20 four-thousand-metre peaks, including the Matterhorn and Mont Blanc. There are several golf courses in the region including one in Sion, just 20 minutes away.
Property: Whilst prices in Verbier have reached astronomic levels of 25,000 sfrs per m2 or more, they are still quite reasonable in Nendaz which shares the same ski area. Although there are few permits for foreigners to buy in Nendaz there are some developments of “touristic importance” such as Le Mer de Glace where foreigners may buy.
In the press... "as Verbier’s property prices have climbed as high as its towering Mont-Fort peak and construction has neared its limits, the rest of the Four Valleys is coming into its own…." Says Haig Simonian of the Financial Times in an article entitled "Fringe Value"... click here to see the full article.
