Nendaz, Switzerland
With construction cranes seemingly everywhere, Nendaz
is in the midst of a chalet building boom. Nothing fancy about
this ski resort. This photo of Nendaz on the left was taken from
Veysonnaz, a nearby ski resort. Seemingly dozens of two-room
cabins line an area near town. It looks to an affordable place
where people can rent or own their chalet. Only saw one hotel
in town so, chalets rentals are big business. Must be a favorite
place for the Dutch to visit in the summer as loads of vehicles
bearing plates from the Netherlands were seen. No upscale stores
in the downtown area and cycling
seems pretty limited but, one can take the ski
lift up and hike back.
Is this place
hopping or is it dead in the summer?
Not many
tourists here but it's hopping with locals and chalet owners.
Is there a lake and/or golf course in town?
No.
Arriving by
car the only option?
Bus service
from the valley floor.
Does the place feel claustrophobic?
No.
Lots of choices
for acccomodations (hotels/ chalets) and do I have recommendations?
Chalet
rentals are the way to go here.
Could I spend
a whole summer here or would I get bored?
A week
would be the max. |
