Ski area Printse

The "Printse" lift pass is valid for the areas of Nendaz, Siviez (excluding Mont Fort), Veysonnaz and Thyon, which cover a total of 220 kilometres of piste and 44 lifts. The pistes around Nendaz itself are easy to navigate and therefore particularly popular with families. The area offers everything that makes the heart of passionate winter sports enthusiasts beat faster: There are pistes of varying degrees of difficulty, endless deep snow slopes, boardercross and fun parks. Full moon skiing takes place on three evenings of the season on the "Piste de Tracouet" and "Piste de la Dent" descent, where the popular full moon parties are a must! Beginners and children are also catered for: at the Tracouet mountain station, for example, there is a beginners' area with a ski kindergarten and snowtubing track around Lac Noir.

And if that's not enough, the perfect connection to the large interconnected ski areas provides endless skiing fun. The merger of the ski areas of Nendaz, Veysonnaz, Thyon and Verbier has created a ski circus with 412 kilometres of piste across three mountains and four valleys. For advanced skiers, we therefore recommend the ski pass extension for the 4 Vallées including Verbier and Mont Fort, because no one should miss out on this treat!

Night skiing Printse

For many winter sports enthusiasts in Nendaz, the day on the piste is not enough for skiing. They also want to enjoy a descent at night. A special highlight awaits skiers and snowboarders in the night skiing area around the village in French-speaking Switzerland. However, when night skiing is organised there, it's not just about having fun on the piste. The palate also gets its money's worth. On selected evenings, always at full moon, dinner is offered in the restaurant above the piste. Night skiing under the stars is an adventure on and off the piste that no one will forget in a hurry.

Après ski Printse

Even the rustic huts at the edge of the piste tempt you with Valais specialities and hot and cold drinks. Once you arrive in the valley, you can relax on the sun terraces of the cafés. In the evening, various bars and discos provide a party atmosphere. The "Malabar" with its reggae ambience, the "Cactus Saloon" with its outdoor bar and the stylish "Tchin-Tchin" are particularly popular.

Away from the piste, activities include horse-drawn sleigh rides, ice skating and tobogganing on a three-kilometre-long track as well as hiking on the 100 kilometres of winter hiking trails. Those who prefer a more relaxed approach can visit the fitness centre with sauna and hammam. The resort also offers a varied programme with torch-lit runs, guest ski races, taster ski tours and night snowshoe hiking.

Snowpark Printse: Snowpark Woodpark

Freestylers and boarders who like to take risks will feel right at home in the snowparks in the 4 Vallées. Three different areas are just waiting to be discovered by you and entice you with different obstacles. The "Centralpark" in Thyon and the "Snowpark La Chaux" in Verbier offer plenty of opportunities for beginners and advanced freestylers alike. There is also the "Woodpark" on the La-Jean-Pierre piste in Nendaz. It offers a wide range of obstacles which, as the name suggests, are made entirely of wood. Slides, kickers, rails and boxes provide freestyle fun in a particularly environmentally friendly way.

Those who like competition as well as risk are drawn to the "Audi Quattro" ski cross. On the Fontanet piste, you can conquer various steep turns, jumps and bumps with up to four people at the same time. It's well worth a visit!
