The Skiers' Guide to Verbier

One of the best apres and nightlife scenes. Plenty of eating out options (though pretty expensive to do so). Amazing skiing for advanced skiers be it groomed or off piste, but not a resort for beginners. Lifts and infrastructure in resort (i.e. buses) very good and efficient.
Main downside is the price. It is one of the more expensive European resorts.

Highly recommend Verbier for families/ large groups with plenty of chalet accommodation that will cater to all needs. The long runs, on-the-slope dining options, and ease of access to explore multiple resorts, will keep you busy on the mountain all day.

Insane freeride terrain off Attelas, Mont Gele and Mont Fort; long steep thigh burning mogul fields on the itineraries; nice tree skiing in Bruson, La Tzoumaz and the vallon d’Arbi itinerary; favourite pistes: the Jumbo and Plan de Fou red runs. Hidden gem: the Etygeon itinerary and the Rabbit Hutch cocktail bar

Having not skied for many years, it was the perfect place to re find my ski legs. The runs where great, lots of variety for all skiing abilities.

The slopes were not to busy, it was beautiful blue skies and lovely snow.

Prices are not cheap but it is a lovely place to be.

The skiing in December was great, not too icy even in early December due to the altitude and the slopes were very quiet.

We stayed at the other side of the 4 valleys from Verbier and I would definitely recommend this! It was much more quiet and peaceful and much easier to get on lifts etc.

Very good ski resort but definitely more tailored for intermediate skiers. Quite often very busy and long queues at lifts. Some good options for food and drink but not as easy to access as some other resorts.

Great time out for a day, very accessible by train as you can reach th slopes from Lausanne using public transport under 2 hours

Great resort, third year in a row visiting. Great snow every time I’ve been, a great range in slopes and ability. Probably not the most beginner friendly resort but if you’ve been a couple times before then you will love it

We love Verbier and always have a good time here. Fun apres ski and conveniently located slopes. Good transport options and a great choice for a long weekend.

Amazing off piste
Go to le Caveu restaurant for racketeering and Chinese fondue!
Went with my intermediate ability 14-year-old daughter and we both had a really great time. Great resort for all levels especially the backcountry if you’re unexperienced gear and want to really push your limits… Always remember be safe when hitting The offpiste there was high avalanche danger when we were there!

Great resort, stunning scenery, lifts are great, not too busy out of holidays but gets pretty rammed on weekends and holidays. Good mixture of Slopes for beginners and experts. Amazing tree runs and off piste out the back but not super easy to go on a ski adventure if you’re not an expert as it’s all down icy ungroomed pistes. Nice food and drink options up the mountain but après ski isn’t the best and bars are very pricey in town. Hundred percent with going though!

Did a ski season there and had the most amazing time. Great resort for skiing and apres with really great off piste areas.

Fantastic resort. Great restaurants. Lots of ski area to cover. Apres ski is fantastic. Lots of accommodation options.

Verbier is a resort for intermediates and above mostly. Lots of delicious red runs and of course the blacks and itinerary slopes (yellow) for the mogul fields.

Plenty of choice for après and of course some of the best restaurants for fondue in the sun, mine include carrefour et chez dani!

Verbier has something for everyone, World renowned for it's off piste, there are Itinerary runs - marked in yellow on the piste maps, these are technically off piste but are avalanche controlled and patrolled making them a safer and slightly more friendly introduction to the world of skiing off piste.

The accommodation options range from 5 star catered chalets / hotels down to self catered Airbnb's.

Apres has several options, Pub Mont fort as a staple and happy hour's well worth it. followed by Farinet with it's live music and opening roof to let the steam out. if clubbing ins't your vibe then there are plenty of bars such as Lumi Bar or Big Ben, both near the main Medran lift in the centre of town.

Sushi, Sushi at 1500 meters was a new on on me but Aiseki has now been frequented every time I've stayed in Verbier and we look forward to it every time we're in town. The spinach in sesame dressing is an unexpected standout on the menu.

Getting to Verbier couldn't be easier, it's an easy drive, failing that fly to Geneva and catch the train to the bottom of the valley and get the lift up.

it's well worth a visit - to the point we visited in July too, it's just as great in the summer!

Fantastic as always! Great skiing great town great community. Always back for more Verbier. Skiing is great.

I am obsessed with this place. It’s near perfection to me in every sense bar the price. Ski pass isn’t too bad for u25 but everything else is very expensive. Saying that, if you can afford ut this place is a dream. Great ski area. Delicious restaurants. Amazing apres and night life. Easy access around town with the free bus.

Great for skiing off piste. Just need snow! Apres ski is in the evening and not on the mountain, but very fun.

Great place with friends, incredible off piste opportunities and a wide array of apres ski options!!
