Ski Resort Guide: Siviez

I didnt actually stay in Sivez, we were staying at Nendaz, but we drove there most days. We found it much quicker and easier to do this than using the lift when we wanted to go to Mont-Fort or Verbier. Siviez only has one or two runs but for beginners they are fine. not to steep, croweded or to long. If ,like me, you like skiing or boarding in the four valleys but are on a limeted budget I would reccomend staying at hostel in Siviez. Swiss hostels are better than many hotels i've stayed in in other countries. The resort is tiny so the walk from any hostel or hotel to the lift is 2 or 3 minutes. There is never any queing at the lift. If you time your journey from hotel to Mont-Fort it would twice as quick as from Verbier itself. The minus points are plain to see, one bar and one hotel, no night buses and an expensive taxi ride home from Nendaz. I'm planning on returning next season and staying in a hostel for two weeks. it should work out the same cost as staying in Verbier for one week and i'm sure the lack of night life will help my boarding and wallet.

Some of the best skiing I have ever had. Snow great, people friendly and the views spectacular. Note not much for beginners and not night life. Try Nedaz if you need these.
