Why Verbier is the Place to Be This April
April Celebrations in Verbier
Known as an upmarket, glamorous and high-octane adventure sports destination, Verbier is revered around the world for its picture-perfect scenery and state-of-the-art lift infrastructure. The name alone carries some serious weight in the winter sports world, which is why their end-of-season celebrations throughout April can be summarised as ‘April. But make it Verbier.’
Raising the bar of piste-side parties and end-of-season events, Verbier has a stacked line-up for April 2025. Expect a colourful Snow Pride celebration, ski & freestyle competitions, a street festival, an insane air show and Easter celebrations. Seeing out the season with a bang, Verbier is the place to be for sun, snow and sensational skiing.
Snow Pride Verbier
Date: 4th - 6th April 2025
Drag Races, DJ sets and a fancy-dress descent are just some of the things you can expect from the first Pride festival in the Valais Alps. You can score some decent discounts on passes and packages for this event, allowing you to soak up the lively atmosphere and save some funds for après celebrations.
From brunch to bingo, there’s plenty going on. Highlights include the Snow Pride descent at 4 pm on Saturday and the weekend’s closing party at Farm Club later that evening.

Back2Back Festival
Date: 11th & 12th April 2025
What do you get if you combine skiing, big airbag competitions and DJ sets? The answer is something along the lines of Back2Back Festival, the ultimate end of season party.

A big freestyle competition on an Airbag is set to take place in the afternoon at 1936 and will be open to all upon registration. The festival will feature famous DJs and musicians, with lively parties on the slopes and an après-ski evening in the resort. Want to remain safely on the sidelines to watch the teams take on big air? No worries, admission is free for spectators.

Le Médran Street Festival
Date: 21st - 27th April 2025
Le Médran is the main street which runs through the heart of Verbier. Giving its name to a gondola and other amenities throughout the resort, it’s also the name of a brand-new street festival offering original activities and a spring clearance sale.
The star of the event will be a giant tubing track that will descend Médran Street all the way to Place Centrale - if that doesn’t sound like fun to you, we don’t know what will. Classed as the last week of the season, there will also be an assortment of bar closing parties for you to enjoy after getting those slushy afternoon laps in.

Ultime Session
Date: 19th - 20th April 2025
Celebrate the end of the season by donning your waviest ski gear and heading for the Snowpark waterslide. This year, for the first time, the annual Verbier ULTIME SESSION will be extended over two days from the 19th of April. This special edition version of the event comes as Verbier celebrates 75 years of Téléverbier (the resort lift company) with a retro theme: the 1950s. You’re invited to don your vintage glad rags, biker jackets and cat-eye glasses and take on the traditional La Chaux waterslide - the best tricks and the most original outfits will win prizes!
Under 25s can enjoy a free Verbier area ski pass for Saturday 19th! As part of the celebration, there will be prizes for best tricks, best fancy dress and more - you can get further details here.
Verbier Airshow

Set to be nothing short of insanely impressive, The Verbier Air Show promises a breathtaking aerial spectacle of extreme sports such as base jumping. Soak up the festive atmosphere with a DJ set and Altitude Party on the 3023 terrace while skilled sportspeople tackle death-defying stunts from the skies. The programme includes speedflying, base jumping, paragliding, wingsuit flying and more.
This event also marks the official closing of Mont Gelé, a local summit and freeride area where all ski areas in the 4 Vallées can be admired.
Téléverbier’s 75th Birthday: Raclette Party
Date: 26th April 2025
Free raclette and a DJ set? Sign us up. The official party to celebrate Téléverbier’s 75th birthday will take over the terrace of Inkontro to provide free raclette and a blazing DJ set from Savalfair - which sounds like the ideal combination if we say so ourselves. Later in the day, providing the raclette hasn’t sent you to naprès, you can head for the BLOOM party below.
BLOOM: UNLTD Block Party
Date: 26th April 2025
The final end of season event in our Verbier lineup, the BLOOM UNLTD Block Party is a free concert taking place on Saturday, April 26 from 18:00 to 22:00. Hosted in collaboration with UNLTD (powered by Verbier Festival,) the concert will take place in the middle of Médran Street, offering the perfect spot to watch the sunset over the mountains.
This musical moment will be the grand finale of an exceptional April in Verbier.
Why Visit Verbier in April
April is a fantastic time for a ski trip to Verbier - spring skiing, sun-soaked terraces and a party atmosphere. Plus, Verbier still has excellent snow conditions at higher altitudes, making it a great choice for some late-season shredding. We're excited to see that they are putting in a real effort this year for their end of season celebrations and it looks like it'll be one to remember! For the full line-up of everything that's going in Verbier, this April, check out their website.
