If there isn't snow on the ground there's still plenty to do and see in the mountains around Nendaz. From the top of Mont-Fort down to the bottom of the Rhone valley are countless miles of paths covering the full range of Alpine terrain from high mountain glacier to gentle meadow.
Some of the best walking is along the network of bisses. Built by the farmers of the Valais to bring water down to the dry lower slopes, these irrigation channels date back as early as 1435, and their accompanying paths criss-cross the mountainside, offering outstanding walks as well as an insight into how people have lived in the region for centuries.
