Skiing in Les 4 Vallées

Skiing in Switzerland – Les 4 Vallées

Les 4 Vallées is one of the largest connected ski areas in Switzerland, offering a total of 410 kilometres of pistes. The absolute highlight is Mont Fort at 3,330 metres, from where you can ski down via an impressive black run of more than 15 kilometres – one of the longest and most spectacular descents in the Alps. Thanks to its high altitude and the Mont Fort glacier, the ski area is highly snow-reliable. The area consists of several ski resorts, including Thyon, Veysonnaz, Nendaz and Verbier, all well connected by an extensive lift network.

Slopes, freeride & skiing for all levels

Les 4 Vallées offers skiing for all levels, although each resort has its own character. Thyon and Veysonnaz are particularly family- and beginner-friendly, with plenty of blue and red runs and excellent ski schools. Nendaz and Verbier, on the other hand, are more suited to advanced skiers, featuring a large number of red and black pistes as well as extensive freeride opportunities. The area around Mont Gelé has no groomed pistes and is reserved exclusively for experienced freeriders equipped with proper avalanche safety gear. There are also several secured off-piste routes, such as L’Eteygeon, which starts in Nendaz and ends in the Val de Dix.

Resorts, après-ski and winter atmosphere

After a day on the slopes, there is plenty to enjoy in Les 4 Vallées. For lively après-ski, Verbier and Nendaz are the best choices, with a wide selection of bars and clubs where the festivities continue late into the night. Along the pistes you will also find numerous mountain restaurants, perfect for a relaxed lunch or a drink in the sun. Veysonnaz marks the end point of the famous La Piste de l’Ours, which finishes directly in the village. In addition to skiing, the region offers winter walking trails and local culinary specialities such as cheese fondue and raclette, rounding off the complete winter sports experience in Les 4 Vallées.
