Nendaz area

Nendaz is one of the best kept secrets in the Alps. It lies at the centre of the Verbier-Mont Fort 4 Valleys ski area and is one of only seven ski areas worldwide to hold five stars of excellence.
In the sunniest region of Switzerland, which boasts more than 300 days of sunshine, you will discover breathtaking scenery stretching out over the valley and the 4000m high mountains that dominate it.
Free ski bus service around town and to Siviez lifts.
The tourist office website www.nendaz.ch has plenty of useful information as well as a diary of daily events and activities.
As my guests you have free access, and no charges, to use the local sports and recreational facilities. These include tennis, squash, archery, volleyball, petanque, basketball, football, tennis, in winter the ice skating rink and in summer the open air swimming pool.

Services
Nendaz offers all the services of a big resort: nursery, ski schools, restaurants, bars, discos, sports shops and a good variety of shops specialising in local products.

Après-ski - night life
A dozen bars and discos welcome you with varied entertainment (piano bar, après-ski bar, live music . . .). A wide choice of about 30 restaurants offer diverse cuisine from Italian, French, Mexican, Thai and of course local dishes to a full gourmet meal. Everyone can always find what they are looking for from five in the evening to five in the morning.

Entertainment for both children and adults
A Mountain Zone in order to discover the natural wealth of the region: the Bisses (waterways), rivers, alpine pastures, forests and glaciers will offer you unforgettable images.
A Fun Zone to let off steam: ski, snowboard, snowshoe excursions, walks, swimming or climbing will satisfy all your sporting needs.
A Country Zone to capture the spirit of a country and its customs: tales and legends in the narrow streets of the old village, the making of alpine dairy cheese and a trip to an ancient mill will offer a surprising return to traditional roots.

In winter, the downhill country
The 4 Valleys domain with its 92 ski lifts and 412km of pistes presents a unique and varied sports ground. The northern exposure, the high altitude and the Mont-Fort glacier (at 3300m) guarantee snow from December to April.
For children, Nendaz rolls out the white carpet. Tracouet is the ideal site to have your first experiences of snow. A snow garden, three ski schools, a nursery and numerous activities for many moments of pleasure.

In summer, the Bisses (waterways) country
The paths that run alongside these irrigation canals have the advantage of being on a slight incline, passing through very varied locations and always providing surprising views of the valleys, villages and mountains. Nendaz offers 98km of walks along eight Bisses.
250km of walks to reach the summits. Discover the natural richness of the region at your own pace. Guides will propose you to experience an unforgettable moment in the mountains with an overnight stay in a cabin.

Guestbook for La Foret

This is just a selection of many wonderful comments from guests:

We had an absolutely wonderful time. Such a lovely apartment and terrific view. We would definitely like to come again. Helen and family.We had a wonderful time, the scenery was simply outstanding and we were truly overwhelmed when we looked out from the balcony. The apartment is perfect and it was great to come back to the warmth after we'd played around in the snow all day. We had a smashing time and will definitely visit again soon to check out some summer alpine walking. Thanks again for helping to make our experience of the Alps a great one. Andrea, Bryn and Livvi.

Just returned to rainy London (boo) and we wanted to tell you how much we liked your flat, and the way you manage it. We have stayed in several flats in different cities and yours was one of the nicest. We really felt at home, everything was just as described, and your communication was great. If there is any way for us to leave feedback for you, please let us know and we will happily do so. PS Switzerland is really amazing...we'll be back. Ed, Laura and family.

Now back home after a fantastic almost 4 weeks travelling around europe. I have to say our stay in Nendaz and your apartment was our highlight. Nendaz itself is beautiful, we enjoyed so many great walks with many others left to enjoy for another time. The apartment was great. We look forward to visiting again. Dawn and Richard.
We would like to say what a wonderful time my family had in La Foret. Very well located and the facilities were excellent. Would recommend it to other famillies as it is very much a home and not just another apartment! Sandra and family.

Wow – the view is stunning! It’s above 30 deg, not a cloud in the sky and we’ve spent the day at the pool. The apartment is wonderful – just what we were hoping for. Pam and family.

Thanks for a comfortable, cosy apartment with wonderful views, great walking area. Really we did not do even half of what we would have liked to do. It was so great we really did not want to come home, and contemplated asking for more time off work. Never mind we are home now. Karen & Adrian.

We had a fantastic fortnight in Nendaz and all thoroughly enjoyed the apartment. The apartment was great for us all and the children particularly enjoyed the bunks on the mezzanine! Hope to visit Switzerland again in the future and may be brave enough to bring all 4 children skiing one day, will give you a call. Giles and family.
