Verbier is famous for its advanced and off piste skiing. It also has breathtaking views and wide, steep slopes. Verbier is known for two main aspects: the notorious and challenging itinéraries as well as its nightlife. Après ski is offered in many venues in the village, and there are many bars and nightclubs. The three main places for Après ski are Le Rouge, Pub Mont Fort and Farinet.

Verbier’s ski area ranges from 1500m in Verbier village, up to 3330m at Mont Fort. Here you will find a panoramic view of the Alps, the Matterhorn Cervin, Dom, Dent Blanche, Dent d’Herens, Grand Combin and Mont Blanc massif. From the top of Mont Fort, you can take a zipline back down to the bottom of the lift.

Verbier is an alpine village located in south-west Switzerland, not far from the French and Italian borders. It is a holiday resort and ski area in the Swiss Alps. Verbier is recognised as one of the premier backcountry ski resorts in the world. It has breathtaking views, and usually great snow, due to its high altitude and a large investment in snowmaking. It is around 1 hour 45 minutes by car from Geneva.

In Verbier the main languages spoken are predominantly French and English. Verbier is located in the Suisse Romande, the French speaking part of Switzerland.

Whether you’re on the slopes or just strolling through the streets of Verbier, between November and early March can be a cold time of year in the mountains. We recommend you layer up. Start with thermals and wear a thick and waterproof ski jacket, glove and a hat. We also recommend suitable boots for walking through the snowy village. Verbier is a pretty relaxed place, and the feeling is not about showing off, just having a great time. Verbier is south facing, and this means it is one of the sunnier ski resorts. So don’t forget your sunglasses and sunscreen.
