Veysonnaz happily awaits You.

 

Welcome to Veysonnaz, the “look out post” of the Alps. The little village is situated at 1200 meters on a slope above Sion, the capital of the canton of Valais, with exceptionally panoramic views of the Rhone valley and the Bernese Alps. It is considered the cross roads of the Four Valleys resort region. 

Veysonnaz offers modern tourist amenities while maintaining its old world village charms and ways of life, like the “inalpe” (the taking of the cows up to the high pasture) in June. 

Skiers and other winter sports lovers can expect excellent snow conditions at Veysonnaz, which is connected by plentiful access to all 400 km of the Four Valleys area ski runs, including the Piste “de l'Ours", the renowned World Cup run. Veysonnaz also has a cross country ski run offering majestic Rhone valley and Bernese Alps views. Winter sports schools are available for children and adults and there are plenty of winter activities available for non-skiers as well. Après ski, enjoy a raclette and glass of white wine at one of the traditional village restaurants or bars.

     

In summer, visitors can enjoy 300 km of footpaths through the beautiful protected natural surroundings of Veysonnaz, from casual strolls to more challenging hikes in the mountains. The “Bisse de Vex”, a man made irrigation channel dating from the 15^th century, has been completely restored and offers delightful walks with idyllic scenery. The pyramids of Euseigne in the nearby village of Euseigne are unusual rock formations created by natural erosion that are definitely worth a visit. And daily guided tours are available of the Grande Dixence dam in the Val d'Hérémence - at 285 meters, the highest dam in the world.

 

Other summer features include the Grand Raid Cristalp, considered to be the longest and most challenging mountain bike race in the world. And a visit to Sion, the nearby capital of Valais, provides cultural excursions, shopping and fine dining to complete your Veysonnaz holiday.
