Anzère
Anzère is a purpose-built family resort on a sunny balcony above Sion, on the north side of the Rhône valley, with wide views over the Valais Alps. Families appreciate its compact village centre and its slopes facing south. A private transfer from Geneva Airport avoids the train to Sion and the bus up the mountain, bringing you straight to your apartment or chalet.

Chauffeur's tipAnzère's village square is largely pedestrian with car parks nearby: give your exact residence name so your chauffeur stops at the closest point.
The route via the Rhône valley
Your chauffeur takes the A1 along Lake Geneva to Lausanne and the A9 past Montreux into the Rhône valley, continuing via Martigny to Sion. From Sion a mountain road climbs north through the vineyards and the villages of Ayent towards Anzère, gaining height with views across the valley. The 176 km take around 2 h 05 in normal traffic; winter Saturdays on the A9 and the climb in snowy conditions may add time.
Arriving in Anzère
The resort is built around a central square with shops, restaurants and residences, much of it pedestrian, with chalets and apartment buildings spread over the slope. Your chauffeur drops you at your residence, chalet or hotel, or at the nearest point to the square. The ski lifts start close to the village, and the slopes face south over the Rhône valley. Anzère also has a thermal spa, and in summer it is a base for walks along the Bisses, the historic irrigation channels of Valais.
Practical advice
- Declare skis at booking; the V-Class van carries up to 7 passengers with equipment.
