Municipality
The town has about fifteen villages. Basse-Nendaz is the administrative capital. Close to Sion, the town of Nendaz is in the middle of the Rhone valley on the left bank. Its immense territory of 8593 hectares has several unique features: it follows the contours of the valley of the same name and it extends from the fertile plain to the eternal snowfields. Forests cover nearly a quarter of its land. It plays a notorious protective role, preserving the devastation of erosion and avalanches. The valley is cut in two by the river Printse ; this raging river is both source and outlet of a multitude of irrigation channels (« bisse ») for irrigation.
Nendaz is surrounded by magnificent peaks, such as that Rosablanche, peaking at 3336 meters. From that point you have the most beautiful alpine viewpoint of the central Valais. Important to know, is that the Mont Fort (3330 meters) ist now accessible to all thanks to the lifts.
Leisure time

Open from november till end of april, it connects all the mountain ski resort of Verbier, la Tzoumaz and Bruson as well as Nendaz, Veysonnaz and Thyon together !
