Domaine des Iles

Freizeitgelände (außerhalb der Stadt). Mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln (Stadtbuslinie) kaum zu erreichen. Zwar könnte man die beiden Linien, die nach Basse Nendaz verkehren (361 und 362) nutzen, aber die fahren so selten (höchstens alle zwei Stunden mal), dass sie wenig nützlich sind. Laut Internetseite soll man das Gelände von der Stadt aus mit dem Fahrrad in 15 Minuten, zu Fuß in 40 Minuten erreichen können. Leider gestaltet sich das aufgrund schlechter Ausschilderung und derzeitiger Bauarbeiten etwas schwierig...
