The Skiers' Guide to Verbier

A bit expensive but overall great place to spend some time.
Plenty of ski runs to do beautiful views and friendly people.
Will visit again.
Highly recommend.

Simply the best for challenging skiing. Tortin is the most difficult run in Europe. New Year’s Eve in the square is bonkers fun

Expensive resort but beautiful on the slopes and off, some of the best food I’ve eaten on the mountain (Carrefour restaurant especially), and amazing skiing (especially for expert skiers but something for everyone)

Excellent resort with tons of choice. There are beginner runs but better for intermediate skiers. Apres is fantastic, especially lumi bar

Fantastic. Great skiing and a lot of fun especially when you get good snow! Going back in a few weeks as loved it so much the first time

Resort was massive and had more than enough runs for a whole week of exploring, plenty of runs for intermediate to advanced skiers but there’s a lack of easier runs so I would say it’s not very beginner friendly. Some amazing views and food options while on the mountain but there’s not a huge apres culture here. Very busy in February too but I’d more than recommend visiting.

Verbier is a beautiful resort with a large ski area. I have spent a lot of time in Verbier and never get bored of the area. The town is lively and full of people most of the time. It has some really fun pubs and bars for both apres and dancing late into the night, a few favourites being Le Rouge, Farinet, and Pub Mont Fort. As well as lively bars, there is a large range of different types of restaurants and cuisines at different price points, which makes Verbier a great place to go. The bus system within the town is a huge added bonus as wherever your staying you can hop on the free bus and go straight to skiing so not much walking in your ski boots! Up the mountain there is also a large number of restaurants, some self service and some not, meaning the trip can be affordable or you can splash out. I also really like that you can buy a young person's ski pass that gives you a good discount! Finally, another thing I love about Verbier is the itineraries as they are so much fun and give the ski area a nice element of challenge.

very very expensive. small village. international people. mainly just Swiss French. clubs 5/10. ski slopes 10/10 - broad options for all levels of skiers/snowboarders.

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!
