Ski In Ski Out
Interestingly Verbier town has very few true slopeside ski in ski out chalets, so as an alternative, Ski In ski Out Chalets have a great slope side chalet in Tzoumaz. Here you still have great access in to the Verbier 4 Vallees network, in fact, missing out on the Medran lift queue and Attelas congestion first thing will probably ensure powder hounds capitalising on the ski in ski out convenience, will get to the top of Tortin and Mont Fort, long before the Verbier crowd are half way up the mountain. So if you want to avoid the crowds, and get first tracks, a ski in ski out Tzoumaz, Verbier holiday is a great alternative, and the real skiers sensible bet!

Ski Christmas Verbier
A ski Verbier Christmas is probably the best present you could buy loved ones this Christmas holiday. Situated at 1,500m and with skiing up to 3,300m, Verbier is a lively resort that has limitless potential on and off the piste. For beginners there is the Savoleyres areas with gently sunny slopes, and then there is Attelas for the more adventurous. Experts are certainly not left out with the famous Mont Fort Wall and the great itinerary run of Tortin.
Off the slopes, a Verbier Christmas is much more than just a skiing holiday with fabulous bars and restaurants, and beautiful chalets throughout the town.

Luxury Chalets Verbier
Verbier is one of the best European ski destinations, and hence why I personally am nearly always seen there skiing, or Chamonix as another great alternative. The thing about Verbier is that it has not only some the best skiing in the world, it also has some of the best luxury chalets. Verbier therefore has it all, and after a day skiing from the top of Mont Fort, and then down Tortin, you really are going to want the Verbier luxury chalet treatment!
Tortin is a great off-piste itinerary route, and for those of us with the sore knees from skiing it so much, it was once a black pisted route that just was never pisted!! So bumps and moguls was the thing of the day and back then, there wsn't many hout tubs to sink into! Thankfully then I had my youth, whereas now I want the comfort, not quite the slippers and pipe comfort, but the luxury that means I can really relax, not just in a luxury hot tub, but in luxury surrounding and a great ambience, and for this, and the skiing, some of the luxury chalets in Verbier really get my vote.
Oh, and if you are thinking of skiing in Verbier, you may have missed some of the best luxury chalets this season, but it isn't too late to book next year, starting with a ski Christmas in Verbier!

Ski Half Term
Already many of the Verbier ski chalets have been booked for the ski half term break so if you are looking to book the most popular family ski holiday of the year, there is no time like the present. The ski half term is by any standards busy, but ski lessons and ski equipment for younger ones is strongly advised to be booked in advance, prior to arrival or face the risk of them running out, or being left with ill fitting equipment.
Certainly the good family ski companies we know will have no qualms with booking ski lesson and ski equipment so you might want to just check before you choose, that yours will do so.
