A resort on a human scale, open all year round

Anzère is part of the municipality of Ayent, in central Valais, at the foot of the Wildhorn massif, between larch and fir forests, and enjoys its own microclimate.

16 km from Sion, the resort set out to make the mountains accessible to families: skiing in winter, 166 km of marked trails in summer, a Spa & Wellness centre on the village square, and activities and festivities organised by the tourist office and local shops, from sunrise to sunset… and sometimes beyond.

Valais and the sun: a fabulous love story.

300days of sunshine a year in the valley.

In the heart of the Alps

From Anzère, Lake Geneva, Zermatt, Chamonix and Italy are all within reach for a day trip: plenty of variety during your stay.
