Verbier kicks off the new ski season with this great day on the slopes. Come dressed as Santa Claus and you can ski for a discount on the opening day and take part in the largest gathering of Santas in a ski resort.

Don't worry if you forgot to pack your Santa outfit, costumes will be on sale at Le Chable, Medran, La Tzoumaz and Savoleyeres and then all the St Nicolas' can enjoy a complimentary coffee and croissant at the base of the Medran cable car.

Proceeds from the day will go to a local charity.
