Nendaz Trail

Top events

The Nendaz Trail offers three routes of 16, 30 and 70 kilometres that cross a wide variety of natural sites with breathtaking panoramic scenery.

The 1st edition of the Nendaz Trail took place in August 2013. It is the love for the region, the passion for trail running, for walking and the desire to highlight the trails and the stunning scenery of Nendaz that led the organizing committee to launch this event.

Passing through the localities of Nendaz, Isérables, Hérémence and Vex, this trail comes in the form of three circuits to choose from, with the aim of allowing as many people as possible to find a challenge at their own level. Add to this a family and friendly atmosphere and you will understand why the Nendaz Trail has found its followers and attract more participants every year.
