March in Verbier: What's on and weather

It's quieter, warmer, and there's some great spring snow to play in

Magical March is here. Enjoy long, warm days in the sunshine.

With fewer families around, you also tend to find far fewer ski schools on the hill which, of course, also means an end to those long, snaking trails of beginners making their way down. It also makes for much quieter lift lines. So, all in all, an ideal month to visit Verbier to make the most of the near-perfect conditions.

Read on for a look at what we like to get up to when spring arrives in town.

What are the weather and snow conditions like?

Verbier in March 2020 - What weather to expect & what to do

There is regular snowfall - on average 11 days - and temperatures still dip below freezing at night to freshen it up. In March the average daytime temperatures generally fall between a high of 3°C and a low of -6ºC, getting around six hours of sunshine.

In terms of weather, you can normally expect pretty mixed conditions this month. You can be making sunny powder turns one minute then be in the middle of a storm the next. Don’t think just because we’re nearing the end of winter that means the end of the snow. Some of the best falls tend to come through this month and March riding normally gives us the best of both worlds – regular top-ups interspersed with sunny days. The ideal mix.

Lessons

Now is a great time to take a private lesson or join a group ski or snowboard lesson, with the quieter slopes there's less queues and the softening snow makes for a much kinder landing.

Nightlife in Verbier

We all have our favourite aprรจs-ski hot spot - we wonder what will yours be? Somewhere with regular live music and DJs on almost every night, deals on drinks and live sports on their large screens, or somewhere a bit quieter where you can warm up and unwind after a long day on the slopes.

Wherever you end up one thing's for sure, you won't have far to stumble in your ski boots to find a jug of beer and some good snacks before you head home to dinner... or not! It's much easier to get a last-minute table for dinner now the school holiday crowds aren't here.
