The 4 Vallées is enormous. 412km of marked piste supports more freeride terrain than you can shake a ski pole at. Unfortunately, many of Verbier’s visitors never get to see the whole ski area which is a shame because with a little bit of planning, you will have one of the most fantastic ski tours of your life.

5 reasons why Verbier, Zermatt and St. Moritz are the world’s best ski resorts
Since Zermatt has recently been voted “Best Resort in the Alps”, we decided to have a look at why we think that the three homes of ES are not just the best ski resorts in the Alps, but in the world! 5 reasons why Verbier, Zermatt and St. Moritz are the world’s best ski resorts.
World’s best skiing.
Verbier is well-known as the world’s freeride capital, having hosted the Verbier Xtreme for 20 years on the awe-inspiring Bec des Rosses. The powder turns and deep couloirs are famous in Verbier with a large proportion of them being accessible from the chairlifts and telecabins. St. Moritz boasts a huge 350km of pistes but is famous not just for the skiing. A range of activities take place on the huge frozen lake throughout the winter, including polo, horseracing and cricket, and the town has the last natural bob run in the world.

Opening Day Verbier
Day 1 and the snow was good, the air was warm and you could ski Lac Des Vaux and Attelas-Ruinettes! Not a bad start, the earliest for a long time. Must be a good omen. While the slopes were being enjoyed in Verbier, the tourist office is over in London running its very successful stand at the Metro London ski show. Probably the best stand at the show! This slide show is not quite as extensive as we’d hoped because our nanny (pictured) was taken out avoiding a collision with some bomber! So the rest is up to you to imagine. Lifts open again tomorrow and then again next weekend.
