Great views, great skiing, and delicious fondues

Verbier offers some of the most challenging skiing in Europe. It is a pretty resort with superb views, beautiful chalets, and a vibrant atmosphere, even if the centre of town lacks some charm. This is a destination that offers late night revelry for those who want it and a chance to relax and escape for others.

Verbier has one of the most advanced lift systems in Europe and its on-piste and off-piste skiing spreads out over a vast terrain. Beginner skiers are warned that the skiing possibilities can be limited. Intermediate skiers will find some good slopes but not the facilities of the Trois Vallées. Advanced skiers are blessed with unlimited skiing possibilities. Verbier is not just for skiers. Sit back in front of a log fire with your favourite book, take lovely walks, enjoy a massage in your chalet or at the spa or enjoy a visit to Aosta, Martigny or Montreux.

On the slopes or off, Verbier always seems ready to erupt into a festive atmosphere: this is in large part due to the numbers of Brits and Scandinavians who come here with a good time in mind. Whether it is the après-ski, the restaurants, or the late-night dancing, if you have come to have fun, Verbier will not disappoint.
