Ski Verbier


To Ski Verbier is special and one of the best ski experiences you'll have, whether from an on-piste, off-piste, or apres ski perspective. Part of the 4 Vallees ski area, that includes Verbier, Thyon and Nendaz,  Tzoumaz, Verbier offers high altitude skiing in cultured, hip, and fun atmosphere.

Verbier 4 Vallees skiing network is world renown, the skiing is some of the best in Europe and to get the most out of a ski Verbier holiday, you will want to be a confident intermediate or expert, although the Savoleyres areas has a seperate beginners area. The 'Wall' at the top of mont Fort (3,330m) is legendary, but I for one prefer the stunning scenery of Tortin below it. Many years ago a black piste (but never pisted), nowadays a great Off-piste Itinerary Run (marked in Yellow on the piste map). Real experts will find some great skiing on and off the piste, and with a guide might want to show friends that real skiers don't even bother with the wall, as they prefer to pop off the back of Mont Fort where it is just as steep, but has fresh tracks!

In the resort the bars are full of life and extensive, and certainly not for the faint hearted. The restaurants and bars start as soon as every one leaves the slopes, and they won't close much before first lifts! Being switzerland, its chic, fun nightlife attracts a discerning crowd, both friends looking to party, but also family ski groups who want to ski the best snow and the best ski resorts.

Enjoy your ski Verbier holiday.
