4 Valleys

Switzerland's largest connected ski area, 4 Valleys links Verbier with Nendaz, Veysonnaz, Thyon, La Tzoumaz and Bruson beneath Mont-Fort, broad, high-alpine valleys ringed by rugged peaks, with excellent freeride terrain throughout the network, not just at the top.

Mont-Fort itself, at 3,330m the area's highest point, is the signature terrain; a genuinely steep mogul run back down to the valley floor, and the launch point for much of the area's off-piste reputation.

Verbier carries the name recognition, a sunny plateau setting, a mix of cosy chalets and modern bars, and legendary freeride terrain that's made it one of the most talked-about resorts in the Alps. Nendaz offers some of the quickest access to Mont-Fort's freeride runs without Verbier's prices or crowds, making it a genuine alternative base for the same terrain. Veysonnaz is served by its own gondola with a good spread of downhill runs. La Tzoumaz sits lower, directly above the Rhône valley, with a quieter character and easy access for snowshoeing as well as skiing. and are the network's smaller, quieter corners; same lift pass, same terrain, noticeably fewer people.
