Where is your favorite part of your resort to ski/ride?
I am a big fan of the amount of touring the area has to offer.
What is your favorite restaurant/mountain restaurant in Verbier?
Best over all would have to be Dahu.
What top handy tip do you have for anyone visiting Verbier?
My top tip would be to have knowledge. If that means having a ski instructor or talking to the locals. It’s very easy to waste time on the hill wondering where to go or what to do. Every second counts, especially when the conditions are being tricky.

I’m in my early 30’s with CMT that has strongly affected my legs. I’ve never skied before but Oscar helped me every step of the way to figure out how we could make skiing work for me. We used outriggers to help me stay upright while walking around the mountain, and to give me extra support in the skis as well. When I first arrived at Verbier and put on my ski boots I fell almost immediately and I was pretty certain I should just give up. But Oscar really went out of his way to find any way to help, even meeting me at my hotel and the ski shop to help me move my ski equipment and staying past his scheduled time to make sure I had any support I needed. By the end of the fourth day with Oscar I had gone from barely standing to beginning to make parallel turns. I’m permanently grateful for his help and I’m sure anyone else who works with him will be too.

Oscar worked with our 9 year old son who is autistic. He has such a calm and reassuring approach and the confidence he built was absolutely amazing to see. Oscar absolutely went at the right pace and very quickly connected with our son on his level building trust between them very quickly. The progress our son made was phenomenal, massive thank you indeed.
