Paragliding By Moonlight At Nendaz
Nendaz, near to Verbier in the Swiss 4 Valleys, has introduced an unusual attraction this winter – hang-gliding by moonlight.
This rather energetic evening begins by climbing the slopes in snowshoes with the initial reward of a delicious fondue served in an igloo especially constructed for the occasion, or if conditions are not good for igloo-building, in a mountain hut.
The evening ends with a return to the valley with a tandem paraglider flight by moonlight. The activity is organised by Joël Debons of Adamair (www.adamair.ch) and costs 250 Swiss Francs per person.

Nendaz and Veysonnaz are friendly and relaxed villages with amazing views overlooking the Rhone valley. Together with Verbier, Thyon and La Tzoumaz they make up the 4 Valleys ski area, which boasts an impressive 412km of piste. These small resorts offer an excellent value alternative to Verbier, with quick and easy access to the 4 Valleys circuit, plus plenty of great terrain in the local Printz ski area. Nendaz has a friendly village atmosphere with plenty of non-skiing activities and has been given a special accreditation by the Swiss Tourist board for its family friendly credentials. Veysonnaz is a pretty, quiet hamlet with a small selection of shops and bars. We feature two hotels at the foot of the slopes, great for families and mixed ability groups.
