Carnival in Nendaz
Overview
Intro
Get out your craziest costumes! The Nendaz carnival under the Olympic Games theme will be unforgettable.
This long-standing tradition takes place every year on Mardi Gras in Nendaz and is an event for the whole family : costume competition for the kids presented by a clown, crafts workshop with Cheesy (book your spot at Nendaz Tourisme), mini ice disco, torchlight descent and parade are the highlights of the festivities.
