Verbier Snow Report & Forecast

Discover the latest Verbier snow conditions

Imprint
By Nye Erskine, Updated

This week Verbier feels like itโ€™s waking up for winter. From the valley the peaks are already trimmed white and mountain lifts are looking eager. There is a quiet sense among locals and regulars that the season might be kicking off with better-than-average snow for early December. Conditions up high look solid enough to invite first turns.

Snow & Weather Summary

Latest snow-depth data for Verbier shows around 60 cm at the top lift elevation and approximately 27 cm at resort base level. Recent snowfall has been light but forecasts suggest a moderate fall could be on its way in the next few days, with mid-mountain snow totals of around 2.1 cm expected in an upcoming snowfall window. Temperatures at altitude remain below freezing overnight and into early morning, which is helping to preserve the snowpack and maintain firm piste surfaces. Lower elevation runs remain more marginal in snow coverage and may be affected by mild spells or thaw-freeze cycles.

Outlook & Whatโ€™s On

Weather models for the coming week suggest cold and stable conditions at altitude in Verbier with a chance of light additional snow mid-week. This should help consolidate existing snow and gradually improve coverage on higher pistes. For the foreseeable weekend the upper lifts and glacier-reached terrain are likely to offer the most reliable skiing. As for activity off-slope, the resortโ€™s usual early-season rhythm is underway with gradual lift re-openings and local events common at this time of year, reflecting the increasing visitor numbers that follow the first snowfall.

Snow Takeaway

At present Verbierโ€™s upper slopes offer the best opportunity for solid early-season skiing. Snow depth and forecasted snow suggest the pistes up high could deliver decent runs over the next few days. Lower-altitude terrain remains uncertain, but if conditions hold there is good reason to expect reasonable coverage for more adventurous plans too.
