Getting around

The main train station is in Sion in the valley and there are regular buses from there to the centre of Nendaz. Nendaz itself has several bus routes which go around the resort and one stops at the top of our road. There is also another bus service which goes between the télécabine station in Nendaz and the lifts in Siviez, a great stepping off point from which to explore the whole of the Four Valleys. That bus stop is also just near the top of our road. Walking into the centre of Nendaz is easy and takes fifteen to twenty minutes, including walking alongside one of the bisses (irrigation channels) that the area is famous for.
