About Verbier
Verbier sits at about 1,500 m and is part of the 4 Vallées, which links Verbier, Bruson, La Tzoumaz, Nendaz, Veysonnaz and Thyon. The highest point is Mont-Fort at 3,330 m.
The 4 Vallées advertises 410 km of ski runs and freeride routes across the whole linked area. Geneva Airport is about two hours away by road.
The snow
Verbier sits on a south-west-facing shelf at 1,500 m, and its ski area climbs to 3,330 m on Mont-Fort. The lower slopes above the village catch the afternoon sun and suffer in mild spells; the upper mountain, around Mont-Fort and the Col des Gentianes, is high and cold. In our record it snows on about 13 days a month at mid-mountain in January and March, and snow was on the ground every Christmas Day in the last ten years.
Who it suits
Off-piste skiers, above all. Verbier’s itinerary routes and the terrain that hosts the Freeride World Tour final on the Bec des Rosses are its reputation. The pistes are limited for the size of the area, and the village runs are often icy. The 4 Vallées link gives a huge area of varied terrain, and the nightlife is among the best in Switzerland.
Getting there
Geneva airport is about two hours by road. Trains reach Le Châble in the valley below, where a gondola rises to the village.
