General info: 

A charming and typical village, situated on the left hand side of the Matterhorn Valley and surrounded by meadows and forests, La Magdeleine tells you a lot of things about mountain traditions. Its five little vilages, where the old wooden houses represent one of the last exemple left of this kind of domestic organization, are something you can't miss. Further to the landscape and the tradition La Magdeleine offers to the skiers 1 skilift and a beginners area with 2 tapis roulants and different games, a nice cross-country track 6 kilometres long and an ice ring.
