Ski holidays in Nendaz

Things to do in Nendaz 

Restaurants, food and drinks 

During your stay in Nendaz, there will options to dine both on and off the mountain.

For some good mountain dining, we'd recommend Combatseline, located at 2,200 metres at the top of the Combatseline chairlift. This restaurant has a large terrace perfect for those blue bird days and also offers a family-friendly menu. Cabane de Balavaux is also a must - located in the middle of the slopes in the Tracouet area, this pit stop is surrounded by some of the oldest larch trees in the whole of Europe. Or, if you are feeling wild, have lunch around a giant tipi at Le Tipi in the middle of the slope of the Plan du Fou at Siviez.

As for resort dining, Nendaz has a fantastic selection of restaurants and cafes for you to choose from. Restaurant Mont-Rouge provides a comfortable and rustic atmosphere specialising in local Swiss cuisine - this restaurant also has a great assortment of Valaisan wines. 

Après, bars, clubs and nightlife 

Although Nendaz is not a party resort, there are still some great opportunities for some après ski.  Located at the base of the slopes, Bar Edelweiss is a popular spot for a drink and is usually quite lively when the lifts start to close. There is also Cheersbar located at the bottom of the Tracouet Ski slopes if you would like to switch it up throughout the week. 

If you plan on partying late into the evening, The Gallery located in the gondola base station is your best choice for a high energy night filled with lighting and a live DJ (on peak season dates). Cactus is also a good choice if you'd like more of a live music and dancing vibe.

For more of a wine and dine experience, head over to La Cave a Lait, which operates as both a café and a wine bar - you can also treat yourself to some Swiss cheese and other local products here too. 

Shopping 

In the resort centre, you'll find all the essentials for a shopping trip. There is a coop supermarket located in the centre, providing a full range of groceries. There is also a Migros supermarket a little further out of resort. You'll also find a range of bakeries, butchers, pharmacies and a post office in resort. 

If you'd like to treat yourself, there are also a range of clothes shops available as well as a handful of gift shops - so you can take a little part of Nendaz back home with you.

Spas and relaxation 

Many hotels in Nendaz offer spa facilities included with your stay. The Nendaz 4 Valleys Hotels has great spa facilities included for guests, and non-residents can use the spa for a local fee. Built across two floors, Spa des Bisses invites for relaxation and features a 2,200 squared metres area with a pure zen atmosphere. The space is dedicated to water, offering a range of facilities to recharge your batteries including a bio-sauna, dew steam bath, outdoor heated swimming pool and jacuzzi. There are also opportunities to have a beauty treatment or massage in one of the two private spa areas. 

Nendaz resort activities

Tortin sledge run 

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. 

The Mont-Fort Zipline

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 and soar down 1,400 metres of zipline, over snow covered mountains and the Tortin glacier. 

Winter hikes and snow shoeing

If you'd prefer to explore the mountains by foot rather than slopes, there are many winter trails that'll let you do just that. Pop on a pair of snow shoes and head through the peaceful forests for some amazing scenery. There are trails available ranging from 30 minutes to 3 and a half hours, so whether you want a leisurely stroll or an opportunity to get your steps in, there's definitely something that'll tick your boxes.

Ice skating 

The ice rink located in the centre of resort, Plaine des Ecluses, is a great winter activity for the whole family. There'll be opportunities to simply skate, try some figuring skating or have some fun with hockey sticks. 

Paragliding 

Take the opportunity to get a taste of how the birds see and experience the ski area at a higher altitude than the peaks. You'll be able to overlook the Rhone Valley from above and have exceptional panoramic views from first flight. 

Snowtubing 

Located in the Tracouet area of resort, snowtubing is an ideal activity for children (and parents alike). Race each other as your slide your way down the track. There are also sun loungers available for those of you tired from the slopes so you can watch the little ones let off some steam.
