Visitor Reviews of Thyon-Printze

We stayed in the Chalet-hamlet Les Masses. It's really nice and quiet but not for those who aim to go out for dinner or apres-ski. The resort is linked to Quattre Vallées, but the connection to Verbier is a bit awkward: you'll need at least one hour. The Thyon-Printze part isn't by far as high profile as Verbier-Mont Fort. This has an upside too: prices are a lot cheaper and the area is generally quiet. I haven't seen a queue anywhere (but we weren't there during the holidays). The area doesn't have much difficult skiing, so thrill seekers will have to head to Verbier. For the more relaxed skiing the area offers a lot of blue and red cruising-runs. The Piste de l'Ours is really nice, as is the run to Veysonnaz and the run from Etherolla. There are quite a lot of T-bars, but it didn't bother me, since they are not very long. A chairlift is also available from Les Collons and practically every run can go from and to this chairlift. The gondola from Veysonnaz has been renewed last year which is a major improvement. Also the chairlift from Siviez in the direction of Thyon-Prinze (combatseline) has been replaced, which makes the journey from Verbier to Thyon easier. It will take you only half an hour to get back from Siviez! All in all this is a very nice area. I found Les Masse to be a little too remote from the area, but Les Collons is very nice and has good access. Thyon itself is a purpose-built resort on top of the mountain, but isn't half as bad as its French counterparts. The accomodation is generally not very expensive.
