Things to do in Nendaz village
Did you know that a neighbour tried to buy the old Nendaz village to turn it into a pigsty? Gladly, that didn’t happen. The village was built in 1499, but it was restored many times before that. It deserves a visit just for the overall sights of the 18th-century buildings.
Visitors recommend the contemporary Spa de Bisses for the perfect relaxation off the slopes. The spa contains a sauna, ice cave, floating pool, and outdoor swimming pool. Personalised treatments are also available. If you want to know more about the local heritage, Nînd’Art is the place for museums and exhibitions where you can discover more about past culture as well as the present one. Lastly, adventure yourself by trying the local restaurants and shops.
