LA TOUMAZ
The La Tzoumaz area
La Tzoumaz is a peaceful, family village overlooking the Rhone Valley and nestled into the valley adjacent to Verbier. It is one of the true hidden gems of the Swiss Alps offering immediate access to the world famous Verbier ski area but without the queues. The Four Valleys ski area consists of various ski resorts, including Verbier, Nendaz, Bruson, Veysonnaz, and Thyon. According to Patrick Thorne’s report of 2 December, 2016 entitled “Who’s the Daddy? Top 10 biggest ski areas” (please see onthesnow.com) the Four Valleys ranks number 4 in the world boasting some 412km of interconnected runs with 89 lifts, all covered by a single pass. Receiving over 300 days of sunshine a year and yet still enjoying one of the best snow records in the Alps, La Tzoumaz is truly a great winter sport destination and offers something for all levels. Savoleyres is the main ski area in la Tzoumaz and since 2008 has been blessed with a high speed 8 person gondola that takes you to the top of Savoleyres in just 8 minutes.
