Anzere

About the ski resort Anzere

Our homo sapiens ancestors walked around barefoot.
Then, without breaking the evolutionary chain. Surfers came on the scene with a snowboard stuck to their feet. Nomads on the hunt for a different type of prey: chasing clouds of powder snow between heaven and earth, a truly breathtaking experience. Here, at an altitude of 2,500 metres, you are closer to paradise, a skiing paradise, of course. What's on the menu? Skiing, snowboarding, carving, sleding, snowshoes… or simply relaxes in a lounge chair, lazing around sipping a cocktail.
Built of the sit of ancient pastures, the village of Anzere faces due south. Perched on a plateau, in the heart of the swiss Alps, the village enjoys a mediterranean microclimate. In the region, one can find primitive rural structures and altitude pasture dwellings, made of wood and stone. The pedestians only Village Square is the centre of village life. During the winter, once a week, hot wine prepared in a large kettle, a welcome drink for all visitors. It is a good opportunity to socialise and get to know others.
Constructed in 1965, the development of ANZERE was based on well-studied planning and designed layout. The heart of the resort is called ANZERE VILLAGE is a pedestrian zone, a rather nouvel concept dating back to the 60s.
Large wooden chalets surrounding a pedestrian square. A choice of shops, boutiques in a continuous gallery, with restaurants, café terraces, and playground for children with public benches. Visitors will appreciate this car free open space, safe for children and favoured by parents.
ANZERE is a medium size resort, cosy and friendly. The style of constructions blends well with the mountain environment.
