Skiing

The ski slopes in Anzère cover about 58 kilometers (the longest run being Les Rousses at over 5 km long) with 1 cablecar, 3 chair lifts, and 7 drag lifts. There are several self-service restaurants on the mountain, and the entire area is known as Télé-Anzère.

Town Centre

Facilities in and around Anzère's 'Place du Village' include both indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a supermarket, multiple hotels, bars and nightclubs, as well as many restaurants and clothes shops. The 'Place du Village' is a pedestrian area right in the heart of the village, containing most of Anzère's cafes and restaurants.

-At 5 min by (free) bus from the village stands a typical Swiss chalet called [[L'Avenir Hébergement]]. On the 3rd floor of this place you will find a warm and comfortable hostel where to sleep and relax, and if you feel more on the mood to party, you will just have to go down to the 1st  floor, at the [[Relax Music Bar]]. There you can listen to live music, have a drink, or eat typical Swiss alpine food.
