Evolène operates 41.1 kilometres of piste across 11 marked runs between 1404 and 2632 metres, delivering 1228 metres of vertical drop in the Val d'Hérens. The terrain splits into 38 per cent beginner, 27 per cent intermediate and 35 per cent advanced, with four red runs, three black runs and two blue descents threading through high-alpine terrain facing the Dent-Blanche and Matterhorn. The ski area receives an annual average of 4.3 metres of snowfall, with predominantly north and east-facing slopes that hold cover reliably from late December through March.

The upper slopes above 2000 metres provide access to extensive off-piste zones that track out slowly due to modest visitor numbers, whilst groomed runs include the demanding Vouasson descent and an ungroomed black variant favoured by powder seekers. Lifts depart from the hamlet of Lannaz, located 2.1 kilometres above Evolène village at 1404 metres, with free shuttle buses connecting the two. Chamois are frequently visible from the Lannaz-Chemeuille chairlift during the ascent to mid-mountain terrain. The ski area extends to the Arpilles sector when snow conditions permit, adding two additional runs to the upper mountain.

The resort maintains a quiet, uncrowded atmosphere distinct from the packed pistes of nearby Verbier and Zermatt, with aged but functional infrastructure and minimal on-mountain development. Restaurant de Chemeuille operates at mid-mountain with terrace dining facing the Dent-Blanche. Evolène village itself sits below the ski area and was voted most beautiful village in French-speaking Switzerland in 2012, its sun-blackened larch chalets and traditional granaries preserved as heritage architecture. The February carnival runs for a month with nightly gatherings in village bars.

The Espace Dent-Blanche pass grants access to Arolla and La Forclaz, totalling 100 kilometres of slopes across three valleys between 1400 and 3000 metres. Magic Pass holders ski free at all three areas. Adult day tickets cost CHF 43, with heliskiing experiences available for CHF 450. The 2025-26 season runs 21 December to 23 March, with the resort suiting advanced skiers, freeriders and families seeking affordable Swiss skiing outside the major destination resorts.
