Veysonnaz Reviews & Ratings

Nestled in the Swiss Alps, close to Verbier, is the quieter, traditional mountain resort of Veysonnaz. The village sits at 1,233m with amazing and ever changing views over the Rhone Valley. It’s a 15mins bus ride down to the historic city of Sion, with fast train connections to Geneva Airport and other destinations.
Veysonnaz offers a good selection of accommodation to suit all budgets including hotels, chalets and many self catered apartments. There are a few bars and restaurants catering for friends and families as well as local shops, a supermarket, a butchers and a busy coffee shop serving freshly baked bread and cakes.
The modern lift station in Veysonnaz is quiet and there are no queues. A fast gondola takes you up to the massive 4 Vallees ski domain with over 400km of slopes.
There’s a variety of slopes for all abilities: gentle green runs, long cruisy reds, the legendary Piste de l’Ours, known for its World Cup ski races and plenty of off piste opportunities.
Veysonnaz is not a party resort. It offers local, rustic charm with access to unforgettable skiing. It will provide everything you need and memories that will make you want to return. Sssssh, don’t tell everyone!

Good area to ski with 100s of km to explore. Lifts were good, but lots of T bars to get across to other areas of the 4 vallees

Veysonnaz links into the 4 Valleys and the extended ski pass lets you ski to Verbier and Nendaz. Unlike those resorts, Veysonnaz is small and intimate. The walks along the network of Bisses are stunning and its just 20 minutes by car to Sion. The slopes are very varied making the resort ideal for skiers and boarders of all levels. There are great on piste restaurants and the views are utterly breathtaking. Im slightly reluctant to share about this little resort as its magical and very quiet in comparison to its busy neighbours!

Very quiet resort, no queues, great variety of runs. Super friendly and great restaurants.
A few drag lifts but you do have access to the 4 vallees which has great itinerarys. No real apres scene but you can always ski over to verbier which has some better spots.

Overall I think its a fantastic resort if you want to get some good pisted runs in without any queues and having the bonus of the 4 vallees just makes it a no brainier.

been going for 9 years, really fun and easy skiing, quiet town not ideal if looking for apres. great for families .

Situated above Sion Veysonnaz is a small picturesque village that offers panoramic views of the Valais. It has a commanding position across from the larger Nendaz and it looks across to the resorts across the vally of Anzerre and Crans Montana.

The Skiing- The Veysonnaz Gondola takes you up above Thyon 2000 and into the 4 vallees ski area. From here you can venture further east in the direction of Siviez and ultimately Verbier, here you will find the famous Mont Fort with iconic off piste routes running off the back. Staying within the Veysonnaz ski area you'll find challenging runs from Etherolla. There is one black that steeply runs down to Les Masses that will test most. Also a must is the Piste de l'ours, this is a red piste that undulates through the forest and offers steep pitches that then descend into wide open pistes. In short Veysonnaz offers a quieter more Swiss ski experience to its glitzier neighbours.

The Village - There's a lovely high street with a number of bars, restaurants and shops. This is not a busy resort but it does get its far share of locals after a snow fall or at the weekends. This only adds to the atmosphere. The Hotel Magrappe offers a great terrace looking up at the piste as it descends. Great spot for an end of day drink. There are also sone great winter walks to be done. Just follow one of the local Bisses that navigate the mountains.

Overall - Great resort for those wanting world class skiing and a slightly cheaper base from which to experience and explore the 4 Vallees. Good for famalies, the ski schools here are great and there is a great kids area at Thyon. There is limited Apres but enough as long as your not looking for nightclubs into the early hours.
