Ski and Snowboard News, Deals, and Events

Nendaz, at the heart of the Mont Fort / Verbier ski circus in Switzerland, has had the best start to the season for snow in 20 years. The village is one of the best kept secrets in the Swiss Alps. A friendly town, full of life, it lies at the centre of the Verbier Mont Fort, 4 Valley ski area.

Chalet Campanella is centrally located in Haute Nendaz, one of the sunniest locations in the Alps, enjoying an average of 300 days of sunshine each year, with private parking and garage. The chalet overlooks Sion Castle and the beautiful Rhone Valley.

Chalet Campanella sleeps six and accommodation is on two floors. It is generously equipped with everything you could need for a relaxing stay. The chalet is offering a 10 percent discount in January and is £765 per week inclusive. This works out at £127.50 per person for six people sharing. The price includes full cleaning of the chalet at the end of your stay, bed linen, towels, and heating. E-mail info@chaletcampanella.com for details.

The 4 Valleys area, with 410km of piste, apart from its sheer size, has something to offer every range of ability and preference. The top station of Mont Fort (3300m) provides spectacular views of many of the highest peaks in the Alps as well as the opportunity to ski or watch the experts descending one of the classic black runs. The celebrated snow bowl of Tortin, with its unpisted ski tour routes from the Glacier lift, Mont Gelé and Chassoure, affords tremendous scope for the accomplished skier.
