VEYSONNAZ IN SUMMER
An ideal summer destination for mountain
lovers and sun worshippers as it offers more than 300 km of footpaths
in pine-scented forests, along the “Bisses” (waterways) and breathtaking scenery amongst the snow capped mountains.
To get a real feel for Swiss culture, gastronomy and the traditions of Veysonnaz, you can attend one of the "Valais" evenings, or take part in cellar-visits, bread-making in the village oven (which dates from 1796), cheese-making in an alpine farm, fruit-picking or harvesting. In June you can see one of Switzerland's most picturesque customs - the taking of cows to high pasture.
There are many sporting activities for you:
for hikers there are 300 km of marked paths, for mountain bikers there are 5 different runs with a total length of 70km, for walkers you can take part in a guided walk up to the glacier on the mountain peaks. for golfers there are 6 courses within an hours drive. You can try-out grass-scooters, climbing or paragliding. Skiing is available on the Mont Fort glacier at 3330m
If you just want to relax, there is an indoor swimming pool, sauna, jacuzzi, massage and keep fit facilities at the Wellness Center, just a short walk from the apartment. (Not available in May and October) Thermal baths are 30 mins away at Saillon.
