Why Verbier is Highly Rated for Expert Skiers

Verbier's 4.53/5.00 expert rating is about the kind of terrain that'll have you buzzing from first chair to last. This place throws down some seriously gnarly challenges, and our community of expert riders can't get enough. Robin raves about the "insane freeride terrain off Attelas, Mont Gele and Mont Fort" along with "long steep thigh burning mogul fields on the itineraries", whilst Edward reckons Tortin is "the most difficult run in Europe".

What makes this resort unique for advanced shredders is the sheer variety of professional-level terrain on offer. Thea highlights the lift up to Mont Fort at 3,330m where you'll find "one of the best, steepest mogul runs with stunning views", whilst expert snowboarder Sam raves about the "amazing off piste" and encourages riders to "really push your limits" in the backcountry (though he's quick to remind everyone about avalanche safety). The itinerary runs, marked in yellow on piste maps, are a properly unique feature here. They're avalanche controlled but ungroomed, giving you that off-piste buzz with a slightly safer setup. As one Snomad user explains, they're "a safer and slightly more friendly introduction to the world of skiing off piste." Whether you're dropping cliffs, charging steep faces, or navigating technical terrain, Verbier delivers the goods time and time again.
