Why ski in Four Valleys

The ski area is made up of six resorts Verbier, Nendaz, Bruson, La Tzoumaz, Veysonnaz and Thyon - whether you are after mellow sunny slopes, challenging terrain or marked off piste, there is an area for everyone.

With a central location in the Four Valleys, Nendaz is a great option for the whole family. The little ones can perfect their technique in the three snow gardens, while the more intermediate skiers and boarders will enjoy the varied runs through the trees. If you are after a thrill, head up the highest point at Mont Fort and set off down the ungroomed black slope towards the Col des Gentianes - it is worth heading up the cable car just for the view.

Spend the day in the world-renowned resort of Verbier, beginners will enjoy cruising the blues in the sun-drenched area of Les Esserts while intermediates will love the Les Ruinette area where you can find a variety of steeper runs. The advanced skiers and boarders will enjoy designated off-piste routes in Mont Gelé - these are the yellow trails marked on the piste map.

Thyon is the farthest point in the Four Valleys ski area and you'll need to be competent in skiing red runs to get across here, however lunch with views of the Matterhorn and the Dent Blanche is worth the ski over.

Things to do in the Four Valleys

Over 3 kilometres long, this sledge run is separated from the main ski area and offers a different kind of slope fun for all ages - and the best part is you can take the chair lift up and come down as many times as you like.

Don't feel like skiing down one of the most notorious slopes in the 4 Vallées? No worries, you can fly down it instead! Take off from the top of the Mont-Fort towards Col des Gentianes, descending more than 1,400 metres, over snow covered mountains and the Tortin glacier.

If you'd rather explore the mountains on foot than on skis, there are plenty of winter trails to choose from. Pop on a pair of snowshoes and wander through peaceful forests, surrounded by stunning alpine scenery. Trails range from 30 minutes to three and a half hours, so whether you're after a gentle stroll or a more active outing, there's something to suit every pace.

Lace up your skates and take to the ice at the resort’s central rink in Plaine des Ecluses, surrounded by breathtaking mountain scenery. Glide around the rink at your own pace, try your hand at figure skating, or enjoy a friendly game of ice hockey.

During the season, the rink transforms into a lively dance floor, combining music and ice-skating under the glow of strobe lights. These vibrant evenings offer fun for all ages, whether you're a seasoned skater or just looking to enjoy something a little different.

Take to the skies and experience the ski area at a higher altitude than the peaks. You'll soar over the Rhone Valley and have exceptional panoramic views of the snow covered mountain peaks.

Located in Tracouet, snowtubing is a great activity for children and parents alike. Grab a snowtube, take the dedicated drag-lift to the top, and enjoy the thrill of speeding down the slope. The best part is that snowtubing is included with your ski pass. For those who prefer to watch or relax, a few sun loungers are available nearby.
