Veysonnaz
With panoramic views of the Rhone Valley, Veysonnaz forms a part
of the Four Valleys ski area together with Nandez, Verbier, Thyon
and La Tzoumaz. A more affordable alternative to fashionable
resorts like Verbier, the pretty town of Veysonnaz has managed to
retain its Alpine charm with traditional architecture and events
like the June Cow Processions. There are a range of activities for
non-skiers in both summer and winter, including attractions like
the pyramids of Euseigne and the Grande Dixence dam. The town
itself has a number of restaurants and bars, as well as a few shops
and a recreation centre.
Information & Facts
Language
The three official languages are Swiss German, French and
Italian. A few people speak Romansch, but this is confined to the
southeastern corner of the country. Most people know at least three
languages, including English.
Money
The official currency is the Swiss franc (CHF) divided into 100
rappen (German) or centimes (French). Although not part of the EU
many prices are nonetheless indicated in Euros and some merchants
may accept Euros. Visa, MasterCard and American Express are widely
accepted and ATMs are widespread; many are equipped with the Cirrus
or Maestro system. Banks offer the best exchange rates for
travellers cheques and foreign currency, but it is also possible to
exchange money at major hotels, main train stations and airports.
Banks are open Monday to Friday.
