Snow Report, 17 December 2025

Imprint
By Nye Erskine, Updated

Mid December in Verbier feels properly settled now. The mountains above the village are well covered and there is a clear sense that winter has found its footing. Early starts have been cold, the air is crisp on the lifts, and the upper slopes are holding snow well. Around town there is a steady buzz building as more visitors arrive and the resort moves fully into the heart of the season.

Snow and Weather Summary

Current snow depths in Verbier sit at around 40 cm in the village and close to 120 cm on the upper slopes. Recent snowfall earlier in the month helped establish a solid base at altitude, and piste conditions have benefited from cold overnight temperatures. The forecast for the coming days suggests mostly dry and stable weather with a small chance of light snowfall, possibly a few centimetres at higher elevations. Daytime temperatures are expected to remain below freezing on the upper mountain, with freezing levels hovering around 1200 to 1500 metres. Winds are forecast to stay light, which should help maintain good snow quality on exposed slopes. Skiing conditions feel firm and reliable on higher pistes, while lower runs are improving but still more variable, especially later in the day.

Outlook & What’s On

Looking ahead to the next week, the weather pattern appears fairly settled with cold nights and occasional cloud passing through. This should allow the snowpack to consolidate further and keep pistes in good shape. The full 4 Vallées area is now open, including access to Bruson, giving plenty of terrain options. In resort, the festive build up is well underway with seasonal events, Christmas markets, and torchlight descents scheduled as the holiday period approaches. The atmosphere in Verbier is lively without being overwhelming, making it a good time to enjoy both skiing and the village scene.

Snow Takeaway

Verbier is offering solid mid December skiing, particularly on the upper slopes where snow coverage and quality are strongest. Conditions are stable, the base is holding well, and while significant new snowfall is not imminent, the cold weather should preserve what is already down. For the next few days, skiers can expect reliable piste skiing at altitude and gradually improving conditions lower down.
