  • Les Mayens Veysonnaz, Switzerland Les Mayens
    Les Mayens Veysonnaz, Switzerland Les Mayens: Les Mayens is a new development of high quality apartments to be built in a ski in, ski out location in Veysonnaz. These apartments are all available to foreigners and carry no rental obligation, which is rare in the Swiss Alps. There will be one 2 bedroom apartment and one 3 bedroom apartment on the ground and first floors and a large 4 bedroom apartment on the top floor. Each apartment will have garage parking in the basement floor as well as private ski lockers, caves and access to the shared sauna/wellness area. Veysonnaz: Veysonnaz is a small, traditional village perched on the mountainside at 1400m above the city of Sion in the Canton Valais. One of the key characteristics of the village are the unobstructed views across the Rhône Valley, which can be enjoyed all across the village. Veysonnaz is a resort that is family-oriented, with an ample range of cafes, bars and restaurants. It also offers great access to the slopes, good views and has a quietly traditional vibe. Think less dancing on tables with a stein and more fine wine on the balcony of your apartment. If you want a night out though, you have plenty of options in Sion or Nendaz. Ski in, Ski out Location: Les Mayens is located just above Veysonnaz in an ideal ski in, ski out location. The development is situated right on the piste leading down into the centre of the village and to the main lift. From here you can directly access over 400km of the Verbier ski area.
