Description

From its sunny plateau, Verbier offers some amazing views. In the shadow of Mont Blanc and the Grand Combin, it is located at the heart of one of the biggest ski areas in the Alps: Les 4 Vallées. A freeriding paradise, Verbier is the perfect winter sports destination, from the very first snow falls.

It caters for all tastes, from action-packed holidays to relaxation, not forgetting shopping. Après-ski is an institution here and you will be spoiled for choice of places to end your day on the slopes. Fine dining enthusiasts can choose from a wide range of options, including award-winning restaurants.

Do you like fun-packed evenings? Then Verbier is the place for you! With its wide selection of bars and nightclubs on the slopes and in the resort.

The most cosmopolitan resort of the Valais region is a huge winter playground, dominated by the spectacular panorama of the Combin mountains. Legendary runs and freeride routes provide endless fun for more experienced skiers and boarders, while novices can practise their skills on the beginners’ slopes located mainly in the resort.

Boasting the biggest and most comprehensive ski area in the entire destination, Verbier has more than enough runs to avoid repetition during a week's stay - even for experienced skiers. The resort’s many modern and efficient lifts take you from summit to summit, exploring this winter wonderland. The main gateway to Les 4 Vallées ski area, Verbier is a great choice!

Les 4 Vallees ski area - With 410 km of runs and 89 lifts covered by a single lift pass, Les 4 Vallées ski area is seemingly infinite. Its wealth of activities, reliable snow cover and sun-kissed slopes make it an exceptional destination in more ways than one! Culminating at the top of the Mont-Fort glacier (3,330 m), the ski area is a paradise for all winter sports enthusiasts, whether expert or beginner. Open from November until the end of April, it links the resorts of Verbier, La Tzoumaz and Bruson, as well as Nendaz, Veysonnaz and Thyon.
