Les 4 Vallées

Les 4 Vallées, or The 4 Valleys, is a collective name for the collaboration between six different localities spread over four valleys in the French-speaking part of Switzerland. The resorts are Verbier, Nendaz, Veysonnaz, Thyon, La Tzoumaz and Bruson, many well-known names gathered under the same flag. In practice, all the resorts function as one and the same ski system, with lifts and slopes connecting them all and a common lift pass.

With so many resorts combined, it's not hard to figure out that it's possible to find skiing for just about anyone here, from the beginner who likes to ride the tracklift to the world's elite freeride who thunders down the Bec de Rosses in verbier, dripping cliffs at 62,1 miles/h. It also comes as no surprise that the four valleys have been listed as the third largest ski system in the world.

There are also countless activities on offer that have nothing whatsoever to do with skiing. Everything from other mountain-related activities such as snowshoeing to activities that have nothing at all to do with mountains, such as hanging out in a luxurious spa.
