Lying on a sunny terrace above the Rhone Valley, Haute Nendaz is popular with skiers and hikers alike. A modern holiday resort built around an old Valais village, it is perfectly suited to families with young children wanting respite, good food and the glory of gorgeous scenery. Offering commanding views of the Alps and nestling in the heart of the Four Valleys ski region, it is an enchanting town. The best places to stay in Haute Nendaz tend to be laid-back properties, ideal for all the family.
The Four Valleys ski region boasts well over 412km of pistes, so you are really spoilt for choice. Unlike other resorts nearby, like Verbier, it isn't thronged with tourists year-round so you can expect to find tranquillity here. However, it is further removed from the slopes than other villages in the area, meaning that public transport or hotel shuttles will be the order of the day.
Originally a classic Valais village, the centre is made up of traditional timbered houses, barns and grain stores; on the outskirts of town, lining the mountainsides, you will find an enormous network of "suonen", irrigation channels dug and maintained by farmers centuries passed, and walking paths that run adjacent to them. If you're there in the summer, be sure to take some time to stroll beside them; lining many of them are apricot trees and bushes blooming with raspberries. There are also over 250km of hiking trails nearby for those looking to be challenged.
A great boon of Haute-Nendaz is its family-friendly attitude. It has the "Families Welcome" seal of quality, boasting facilities ranging from childminding, craft programmes and toy hire to pushchair-suitable footpaths and several playgrounds. Lying nearby Sion, the picturesque and historic capital of Valais, you are well placed to explore the impressive fortified hill castle of Valere - a stark and beautiful sight to see.
Haute Nendaz is perfect for families wanting to ski, but also wanting to escape the hustle and bustle of the larger, more manic resort towns. The best places to stay in Haute Nendaz are ideal for families seeking seclusion.
