Hauts de Veysonnaz R56A-7

Apartment in Veysonnaz

This apartment which can accommodate six people is located on the ground floor of a fantastically built chalet and features contemporary décor. It has a large terrace. The place is perfect for playing cards with friends. Even small children can enjoy playing the game if they know the tricks. Do enjoy playing card at this high altitude. Holidaymakers who wish to play Jassen, the Swiss card game, can learn it from the locals on the lovely terraces. The locals are most likely to bring the French version of the cards and guests can kill two birds with a stone. Isn’t that lovely?

Summer

The hiking area around Veysonnaz extends to the Valais Alps in the south. Revel in the beauty of nature in the 300 km hiking stretch in Veysonnaz. One may come across numerous cows grazing in the lush green meadows; they are harmless and love to be petted. The flora, fauna and dry meadows of Veysonnaz has been well preserved, thanks to conservation efforts. The plucking of Silver Thistle flowers or Gentians is discouraged.

Guests can explore the high mountains by taking exotic tours. The 15th century "Bisse de Vex", for example, is a 12 km long irrigation channel and has undergone expensive restoration. The area has many irrigation channels without much difference in altitude, and offers pleasant walking routes and amazing views of the region.

Winter

Once winter sets in and it starts snowing, Veysonnaz is transformed into a winter sports paradise. Veysonnaz is part of the "Four Valleys" (“Quatre Vallées") area which has around 400 km of perfectly landscaped slopes. Many World Cup races are held on the "Piste de l'Ours" above Veysonnaz. This is truly a spectacle beyond comparison! The huge ski area of “Quattre-Vallées” stretches from Veysonnaz and the adjacent “Thyon 2000", on Nendaz, the Mont-Fort (3330m) across to Verbier and La Tzoumaz. The area offers at least 410 km of ski paths for all levels - from beginners to professionals – and one can experience the sheer delight of skiing. 95 ski-lifts catapult you to the peaks from the valley, to ski down the mountains.
