MTB - E-bike tour Veysonnaz - Nendaz - CombireThe warm-up starts directly as you leave the resort of Veysonnaz with a nice climb to the hamlet of Verrey, then further into the forêt Noire. The rest of the route descends on a pleasant forest road to reach the end of the valley and cross the Printse.
The village of Saclentze with its picturesque houses awaits you peacefully, before arriving in Haute-Nendaz. This part is certainly uphill, but quite pleasant to ride. After crossing the resort, a new climb awaits you to Pracondu, in the upper part of the village. From there, a magnificent forest road, very easy to ride, takes you to Siviez, the heart of the 4 Valleys, where you meet the river Printse once again, which flows quietly over the plateau.
Then there are two options:
* Use of the Combatseline chairlift which takes you directly some 500 metres higher, without effort, almost on to the terrace of the Combatseline restaurant
* Climb the alpine road for about four kilometres. With a short detour, you can take a break on the restaurant terrace.
The return to Veysonnaz crosses the alpine pastures, takes the old Comberette road and descends into the Mayens de Veysonnaz.Verrey_vue sur la vallée_été_2018 (Veysonnaz_Tourisme)VTT_cyclistes_meine_panorama_2011 (Veysonnaz-Tourisme)Saclentse_village_chapelle_été_2018 (Veysonnaz_Tourisme)Vtt_arrete_2011 (Aline_Fournier)1231.1627197266VeysonnazWinter in Veysonnaz: The ski resort is located at the gateway to the largest ski domain in Switzerland, the 4 Vallées. This white wonderland stretches over 400 km of ski slopes of all levels. Snow is guaranteed right down to the foot of the slopes with over 200 artificial snow making devices.
Linking Veysonnaz, Thyon, Nendaz and Verbier via Mont Fort on skis is no longer just a pipe dream, it's a reality at last! Sheer pleasure on a variety of slopes, for example a descent on the legendary Piste de l'Ours, known for its 30 World Cup ski races and always appreciated by competitors, with the Skicross and Snowboard Cross World Cup.
Spring in Veysonnaz: a quieter season for tourists, between the melting snow and the awakening of the surrounding nature. The village lives to the rhythm of the traditional festivals, the farmers bring out their livestock and the schoolchildren are ready to finish their school year, which means a new stage in their lives is about to begin. The beginning of summer is launched at the end of June when the cattle return to the mountain pastures and school closes for the summer holidays.
Summer in Veysonnaz: this little spot of paradise invites you to explore and respect the nature that surrounds you through its various outdoor activities. Getting a little closer to nature means a return to your roots along the many bisses and marked footpaths. Relaxation and self-awareness are also promoted while enjoying our forests.
Mountain bikers can enjoy their favourite sport on a variety of tracks of different levels with the possibility of using the ski lifts for the more demanding uphill sections.
Families are welcome, thanks to our flagship Sun&Fun entertainment and outdoor activities programme, as well as numerous excursions.
Summer is, of course, a time to relax and watch the sunset while enjoying a fun time with friends.
Autumn in Veysonnaz is a time for walks, extraordinary colours and fine food. Brisolée and game specialities are the typical dishes of the season. Often mild summer weather is still present in October, while the tourist world is busy preparing for the approaching winter, as is the local wildlife, which is also getting ready for winter. Everything will be ready, but let's enjoy every last ray of sunshine.

It presents an interesting architectural entity, representative of the traditional Valaisan village with its wooden and stone houses, its barns, stables and granaries. The houses were grouped together to preserve a maximum amount of land for agriculture. The cereal fields and meadows benefiting from maximum sunshine were highly sought after.
Even today, around the houses scorched by the sun, cows, goats, horses and sheep graze on ancient cereal fields.
The Ermitage guest house and restaurant, a completely renovated building dating back to 1823, offers you the opportunity to spend a night or to taste local products in an incredible out-of-time setting.Verrey Village 2018 (Etienne Bornet)Verrey Automne 2018 (Florian Guntern)1435.3659667969La Cab'Anne CaféThe hamlet of Verrey, with its large centuries-old wooden buildings and its breathtaking view, leaves no visitor indifferent.
With such a setting, it is easy to plunge into a past, not so far away and yet so different from today's hectic lives. Don't be surprised if you encounter a goat or sheep, a cow or a donkey as you pass by a barn.
Anne, one of the last inhabitants of the hamlet who still lives here, welcomes you with pleasure and gladly shares her little piece of paradise with an anecdote or a piece of homemade pie.
During the summer, she proposes a small but mouth-watering menu where local products are honoured: crêpes, steak tartare, cheese fondue, craft beers, local wine, craft ice creams, etc...
If you book in the evening, you can also enjoy a raclette while admiring the magnificent sunset.
The café also sells products from the Vernettaz farm, located just a few hundred metres away: cheese, serac, sausages, etc.Cabane_café_Verrey_arbre_premier_plan_2013 (Anne_Fournier)Cab'Anne café_terrasse_Verrey_été Cab'Anne café_fourneau intérieur_Verrey Verrey_automne_2013 (Anne_Fournier)Cabane café_irish session_Verrey_été Verrey_vue sur la vallée_été_2018 (Veysonnaz_Tourisme)Cab'Anne café_terrasse avec monde_Verrey_été 1357.4580078125The Djiette picnic areaThe picnic area has several tables with benches, BBQ and raclette equipment, a drinking fountain, toilets, lighting and wood burning stove.

The small chapel has been there standing since 1922. The bell that was installed in the bell tower of Basse-Nendaz before 1794 now adorns that of the chapel of Saclentse.
Le Sapin Blanc, the only restaurant in the village, offers home-made dishes made entirely from local produce and traditional products.
Close to the village, the Bisse d'en Bas, which is seldom frequented, offers the opportunity to enjoy a quiet stroll. It is the lowest of the bisses on the left bank of the Printse. Still in use today, it irrigates the meadows, the raspberry and strawberry fields of Basse-Nendaz and Saclentse before joining the Printse.Village Saclentse Chapelle 2018 (Inès Bonvin)Saclentse granges 2017 (Inès Bonvin)1342.9664306641The resort of Haute-NendazThe tourist venture began at the end of the 1950s with the construction of the first gondola in 1958 and the first hotels. Since then, the resort of Haute-Nendaz has continued to develop.
Today, in winter, snow sports reign. The vast choice of ski runs, more than 400 kilometres in total, allows both beginners and experienced skiers to enjoy the snowy slopes of the 4 Vallées.
During the summer season, the resort is popular with mountain bikers and hikers. Nendaz benefits from an absolutely unique network of bisses (8 of which 6 are still in water). The paths along them, which are relatively flat, shady and traffic-free, are particularly popular places to walk. In July, Nendaz becomes the capital of the Alphorn, thanks in particular to its international festival.Haute-Nendaz station hiver vue aérienne 2021 (Florian Bouvet-Fournier)Haute-Nendaz Station Hiver 2018 (Etienne Bornet)Haute-Nendaz station_été_vue aérienne_2014 (Matt Wright & Janire Najera)Haute-Nendaz Station Eté 2018 (Sonia Délèze)1732.3540039062SiviezSiviez provides access to the areas of Veysonnaz and Thyon on the one hand, and to Verbier and the Bagnes valley as well as to Nendaz and Isérables on the other.
