Welcome to
Verbier

Verbier has developed into a glamorous winter playground for anyone who wants to splash the cash. There is no doubt it's an expensive resort but with its superb skiing, international clientele, high-quality accommodation and phenomenal bars and restaurants, it's most certainly worth it.

Situated in the canton of the Valais, in the southwest of Switzerland, Verbier is bordered by France to the west and Italy to the south. It's about a two-hour drive from Geneva airport, or you can take a train from the airport to Le Chable and then hop onto the gondola to the centre of resort.

Verbier suits both the keen skier, with its amazing and easily accessible off-piste, and the more leisurely skier who enjoys cruising the blues before relaxing on a sun lounger for the afternoon. It's also the perfect spot for the après-ski enthusiast, with a world-famous selection of lively bars and clubs.

One of Verbier's biggest attractions is the summit of Mont Fort, the highest peak in the 4 Vallées. It takes four cable cars to get there from Verbier village, culminating with a final 400m stretch from the Col des Gentianes. After climbing a stone staircase, take in the amazing vista which includes Mont Blanc, the Dents du Midi, the Matterhorn and the Rhone Valley.
