At the foot of the Swiss Alps lies Valais, "the valley." This fabled region is a year-round favorite, with spectacular skiing in the winter and superb hiking in summer. The Matterhorn, the Great St. Bernard Pass and Zermatt are the stars of the area, but glaciers, lakes, mountain paths, castle-churches and a wealth of resorts also beckon. Visit L'Hospice du Grand St. Bernard to see the animals who helped the monks rescue travelers or the Fondation Pierre Gianadda, Roman ruins that now house modern art.
Overlooking the Rhone Valley, Nendaz boasts an incredible panorama of the Alps. As sunny as the French Riviera, Nendaz is perfect for a number of outdoor activities such as skiing (on 400 kilometers of slopes), winter and summer hiking, exploring the area's ancient waterways, or mountain biking. Located at the heart of the largest ski region in Switzerland, Nendaz has plenty of options for beginners and expert skiers alike, with its extraordinary itineraries and extremely varied ski runs.
