linda wells from Ski United Kingdom United Kingdom
The reviews are out of date; a new fast 8/10 person gondola has been installed at piste de l'ours for the 2016 season to add to the swift Veysonnaz gondola. Slopes are well groomed, queues non existent, weather sunny 300 days a year (I have never not had a sunny ski holiday here in 10 years). Mountain restaurants, such as that at the Combatselin lift, have good food and fantastic views. The butcher, baker and supermarket ensure self-catering is easy. Well integrated transport via train then post bus from the airport; no need for a car. Flights to Milan or Basle are cheaper than Geneva.

Great scenery with attractive and well groomed slopes. Good services and various accommodations. Great ski lessons at the local Swiss ski school.

Daniel jones from Ski Switzerland Switzerland
Not the best groomed slopes or the best area we've skied but the staff at Niege Adventure ski school are amazing; thanks to Eve and Mark for looking after our son. As for the Swiss ski school they are horrendous; rude and unwilling to teach kids how to ski if it's easier to keep them in the snow park. Overall, a decent resort but nothing special. Scenery is amazing.

As always, Veysonnaz (Veysonnaz-Printse) piste is immaculately groomed. Service with a smile from all locals, very friendly people. My son learning to snowboard and staff at Swiss ski school so good he is coming on in leaps and bounds, literally! Lots of snow forecast for next couple of days, so should be good for Easter. Very few Brits here and not overly busy, so highly recommended as much more local feel to whole community - you see real Switzerland at its best here. Not touristy at all. Thoroughly recommend Fragniere ski hire next to tourist office - can't help enough - really know their stuff. Just sitting on balcony watching an amazing view that changes each hour with the weather - come on down - it is stunningly beautiful.

Congratulations to the pisteurs who kept the resort beautifully groomed this season despite low snowfall.

We were very lucky with the snow conditions this visit. Returned to the UK on the 26th March as it had not snowed significantly for a few weeks. The excellent piste maintenance at Veysonnaz (Veysonnaz-Printse) meant that the available snow was groomed and well maintained. We made this trip to introduce a friend to skiing. The nursery slopes at the top of the mountain, by the Mount Rouge restaurant, proved the ideal location for our friend to learn, she absolutely loved it. As usual the amenities in Veysonnaz are very good and the assistance from the ski hire centre near the Hotel Magrappé was excellent. I just hope that it snows heavily for those booked on the Easter break.

The lift system (at Veysonnaz-Printse) remains out dated. I first went to this area in about 1984 and many of the lifts still remain from that period. In the early 80s the Verbier region was seen as one of the most advanced systems, it is very far from that now. Indeed, the links are weaker now than they were then. I understand there may be something of a dispute between Nendaz and Verbier over investment which has resulted in this. Veyzonaz skiing is really for beginners and similar. Given a good snow fall there can be reasonable off-piste, and the lack of 'hot shots' in the area means it does not get skied out quickly but I would not recommend it for intermediates and above.

We were very lucky to ski in Veysonnaz (Veysonnaz-Printse) twice this year (2010). Firstly in January and then at Easter. Veysonnaz is fantastic. There are a good range of cafes and bars on the slopes. The staff in the bars and at the lifts are very friendly and always on hand to help out. The station has some excellent places to eat out, a good bakery and a first class butchers. There is a swimming pool as well. Looking forward to January 2011 to get back on the slopes, maybe see you in Barlouca!!

I have read your review from another user, submitted on 2006-03-08. The resort (Veysonnaz-Printse) has been through a number of significant changes since 2006, including installation of a new 8 person chair lift from Veysonnaz to Tyon. There are a number of new ski shops, restaurants and bars, which now trade with the new wealthy clients, happy to pay a premium for the professional service they receive. I would therefore argue that your earlier reviewer's comments are out of touch, portaying an inaccurate picture of the resort. Stuart Switzerland

Veysonnaz (Veysonnaz-Printse) provides a lovely place for a family skiing holiday. It is a pretty village, largely unspoilt by tourism, with a great lift up to the the skiing area of Thyon and further afield to Siviez, Nendaz and Verbier. Whilst it is true that the lifts in the area are mainly t-bars and button lifts, there are also a number of chair lifts. We skied over to Verbier very easily in about an hour and a half where the ski lifts are fabulous. I loved the flexibility of staying in a quiet village but having the benefits of a large skiing area at my finger tips. Pre-Christmas skiing at Veysonnaz-Printse was fantastic, quiet slopes, no queues and perfect snow conditions. What more could you ask for?
