The Village

Nendaz Vilage

There’s something for all ages in Nendaz village and a unique slice of pastoral history. And it’s good value too.

Nendaz is situated on the mountainside overlooking the Rhône Valley. The old part of town is downhill, further away from the slopes, and started as a farming community. Tradition still thrives: there are cowsheds you can visit and in summer there are alphorn festivals and fruit orchards to visit. The baroque church in Nendaz was built in 1499. The centre is partly pedestrianised.

Nendaz is a fairly large town comprising chalets, apartments and hotels, a variety of restaurants, bars and amenities such as physiotherapists and crèche services. The main streets lead off the roundabout next to the tourist office which is topped with a traditional gondola.

Ski Hire and Equipment Rental in Nendaz

There are plenty of ski and board hire options, but the Skiset outlet is handily placed, close to the lift and the Hotel Nendaz 4 Vallees & Spa and the Hotel Edelweiss in the centre of the resort, and has a good range. Like other ski rental shops it won’t give a discount if you just go into it when you arrive, but it  will give a generous discount if you book online in advance here. You will also save time in the shop by having your selected equipment reserved and ready for you.

Nendaz is easy to get to. It’s only half an hour’s drive on winding roads from Nendaz to nearby Sion which has an airport and railway station. Geneva airport is approximately a two hour journey by car. There are good private/shared transfer services from Geneva if you don’t want the hassle of driving yourself. Although it depends where you are staying, for the most part a car is not needed in nendaz itself.
