The ski area here is one of my personal favourites in the 4 Valleys ski area, as the pistes are usually quiet and there are some lovely tree-lined runs; always a good option if the visibility is not so good.
The size of the area means you can enjoy varied skiing from a luxury ski chalet here, from easy cruising blues to some of the best lift-served off-piste routes in Europe and the challenging mogul-filled descent or Tortin.
The 4 Vallées ski area includes the glamourous resort of Verbier, Nendaz, Veysonnaz, Thyon, La Tzoumaz and a handful of charming smaller villages dotted around the ski area. The skiing itself is extensive, with over 400 km of pistes, so there is a huge range of options for all levels of skier, from novice to expert.
When to Visit La Tzoumaz
The ski season runs from mid-December to the end of April, however, the villages of the 4 Vallées are jaw-droppingly beautiful to visit in the summer months.

The Skiing in La Tzoumaz
La Tzoumaz is at an altitude of 1550m and is regarded as one of the hidden gems within the 4 Vallees. It offers immediate access to the larger resort Verbier but doesn’t have any of the queues. This resort is peaceful with amazing ski conditions for all abilities making it a perfect luxury ski holiday destination for families, and will keep you coming back again and again. La Tzoumaz is orientated to the north, which ensures snow cover from early December through to April. It also has the gentle and sunny slopes on the south side of the mountain which are more suited to leisurely skiing and stopping for a few drinks along the way.
