The 4 Vallées

The 4 Vallees ski domain is situated in the Valais region of Switzerland close to the borders of France and Italy, about 1 ½ hours from Geneva.

Made up of the 5 principal ski resorts of La Tzoumaz, Verbier, Nendaz, Veysonnaz and Thyon linked together by 92 lift installations and 412km of pistes. From the highest point at Mont-Fort 3330m it is possible to see both the Matterhorn and Mont Blanc.

The skiing is very varied from picturesque tree lined pistes to glacier skiing on Mont-Fort and then there is the off-piste…………… Heli-skiing is legal in Switzerland (un-like France) so it’s possible to take a flight to start a truly memorable day’s skiing!

Of course the 4 Vallées is not just about skiing, the lift system opens for the summer months to provide easy access to the high mountains for hikers and mountain bikers or even just for a spot of lunch in one of the mountain restaurants.
