Night skiing Thyon
Skiers and snowboarders who don't want to miss out on the slopes at night are in good hands in the Printse ski area. In the ski area Veysonnaz, a special kind of night skiing takes place regularly. As the lifts are no longer going in the evenings, winter sports fans simply stay on the mountain and wait for darkness. The night-time slope is not illuminated by flood lighting, as is usually the practice, but instead by torches that each snow-lover receives before the run down. Illuminated by the light of the flames, the slope is then skied down under the starry sky. An unforgettable experience. There is also a regular evening programme on the slopes in the Nendaz ski area. Under a full moon, you can enjoy a late meal in the restaurant "Tracouet" at an altitude of 2,200 m, or set off down slopes illuminated by floodlighting. In addition, myths and legends of the region are told. The moon ensures a suitable ambience.Après ski Thyon
