Nendaz Film Festival on November 13–14, followed by the November Markets OnTheMountain on the last two weekends: 30–70% off to get ready for winter.
November in Nendaz is the month for great deals and the big screen: the Nendaz Film Festival kicks things off this weekend, and then the November Markets at the On The Mountain shop turn the last two weekends of the month into a must-attend shopping event before winter. And our ski school reception team is on hand to assist you.
On Friday, November 13, and Saturday, November 14, 2026, the Haute-Nendaz multipurpose hall will host the 3rd edition of the Nendaz Film Festival. Admission is free, with a bar and food available on site, and filmmakers on hand to interact with the audience. The theme of this year’s festival, “A Different Script,” highlights films that offer solutions for preserving our natural heritage—in direct harmony with the mountains that surround us.
The festival takes place every two years: if you miss it this year, the next one will be in November 2028.
Every year, on the last two weekends of November, the OnTheMountain shop in Nendaz pulls out all the stops: four shopping areas where you can gear up from head to toe before the ski area opens, with discounts ranging from 30% to 70%.
• The Outlet — protective gear and accessories, for both summer and winter, at the deepest discounts.
• The Tech Shop — technical gear, professional boot fitting, and seasonal rentals.
• The Store — the new 2026–2027 winter collection from leading brands.
• Le Carnotz — winter apparel: jackets, pants, technical layers.
With the family
The November sales are the perfect time to get gear for kids who have (once again) outgrown their old stuff: helmets, protective gear, clothing, and equipment at discounted prices, with advice from experts rather than just an anonymous store aisle. And the Film Festival—which is free—is a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon with your teens.
Those who can’t wait can already hit the slopes: the Lac des Vaux area has been welcoming skiers and snowboarders since this past November. For now, access is only available from Verbier; the opening with access from Nendaz will follow later—we’ll keep you posted. Now is also a great time to get your skis ready (maintenance, waxing, adjustments) and finalize your lesson reservations for the holidays, before the December rush. Down in the valley, the Foire de la Sainte-Catherine (Sierre) and the first Christmas markets round out the late-November calendar.
