There is no train station in Verbier but this doesn't mean that you can't come here by train. 

More than ever encouraged as the sustainable and eco-friendly travel option, getting to Verbier by train is still worth the effort with short transfer times from its closest major transport hub.

You'll get more leg room and it's a great way to enjoy the passing scenery.

Tip!
You may be able to get money off your accommodation or transfer to the resort if you mention you're coming by train.

Train prices to Verbier

How much it costs depends a lot on when you travel. Peak weeks like Christmas, New Year, February half-term and Easter are obviously more expensive.

Tip! 
Book as early as possible.

Eurostar ski train tickets usually go out for sale in mid-July and that's when they're at their cheapest.

SBB (Swiss Federal Railway) train tickets from Geneva and other Swiss cities are normally available to buy 120 to 90 days before your travel time and, again, the earlier you book the lower the price will be.
