Resort for beginners and hikers?

FWIW, having spent a week in Nendaz, I believe that the beginners skiing area is good, because it's up the mountain on a plateau surrounded by woods. Woods lined easy blues for beginners to build up skills. The town however is not pretty IMV. It's functional. I guess it's a little like Marmite.

I post up my view, based on how I see the resort as a direct result of having spent a week there. My view is as valid as the next person's. It is not a one star post. In what way can my comment be classed as Poor.
I invite whoever gave the star rating to explain themselves :evil:

I thought I'd been quite polite about the town, considering what I really think it looks like :D

Thankyou Freezy, and just for you :D

Well, it wasn't me Bandit, I've never been to Nendaz so I've no idea what it's like. I am, however, rather confused about the comparison with Marmite. Is it all brown then, and rather salty, or is Marmite a place :?:
:D

I'm with you, though, on trying to track down the mysterious person who's dishing out one stars. I got one for defending Sm4sh over his home town, when some people were being rather unkind to him about it, and it did rather hurt my feelings. In fact, I wish they'd get rid of the whole star system, hardly anyone ever rates a post anyway. I never rate anyone (apart from when we were testing the system the other day).

I didnt see anything of Nendaz when I was in Verbier in 2008, although I was told its an ugly place but well located to be fair and ideal for beginners and early intermediates.

Ally, the comparison with Marmite....you either love it or you hate it! Nendaz has it's devotees who heap praise on the village. :D

Thanks Bandit, that's one more mystery solved :D

I like marmite myself, and being vegetarian I quite often use it in stews etc. as well as on top of cheese on toast.

I have now decided. You are a fake. You are not as stupid as you pretend to be. I have no idea why you play this uneducated locked up in a cave card, but you have done it quite well to be fair.

You really really have to be kidding to think that Bandit meant it was brown and salty....... :roll:
