Nendaz serves as a versatile hub for skiers and snowboarders, offering 400km of diverse slopes, modern lifts, and exceptional off-piste terrains, making it the birthplace of the Freeride World Tour.
Nendaz offers a warm welcome to beginners with its easy blue runs at Tracouet. The resort is a part of the 4 Valleys, so there's room for progression onto longer blues. Just keep an eye on the clock; the return path can get crowded towards the end of the day. The Beginners' Park at Tracouet and the gentler terrains in the sunny plateaux of the Tracouet bubble and the Thyon zone complete the package.
