Verbier
The most famous resort in the Four Valleys that borders both France and Italy
Verbier is a sun-soaked resort in the south-west of Switzerland, famous for its traditional chalet-style buildings and stunning mountain views. Staying in the centre puts you close to the Medran lift, ski schools, shops, bars and restaurants. It’s the perfect spot if you want to be at the heart of the action, with a wide choice of three to five-star hotels and easy access to the slopes.
Verbier is the most famous resort in the Four Valleys, located in the south-west of Switzerland with France to the west and Italy to the south. The village’s traditional chalet-style buildings nestle into the hillside and its south-west orientation means the slopes and sun terraces are bathed in sunshine throughout the day. At the heart of Verbier is Place Centrale, surrounded by hotels, shops, bars and restaurants, and right by the Medran lift for easy access to the main ski area.
If you stay in Verbier centre, you’ll be in the heart of the action, close to ski schools, shopping and the town’s legendary nightlife, with a wide choice of three to five-star hotels and central convenience.
Les Creux-Savoleyres
Les Creux and Savoleyres sit up the hillside from Verbier centre, close to the pistes and just a short bus ride from the town’s bars and restaurants. These hamlets are ideal if you want ski-to-door accommodation and prefer quieter slopes away from the busiest lifts. It’s a great choice for families or anyone seeking a more relaxed base while still having easy access to Verbier’s amenities and nightlife when you fancy it.
Bruson
Bruson sits on the opposite side of the valley from Verbier and is something of a hidden gem in the 4 Valleys ski area. With its peaceful, unspoiled atmosphere, it’s ideal for families or anyone seeking a more authentic Alpine ski holiday. Staying here also gives you excellent access to fresh powder, perfect for mornings when the slopes in Verbier are already tracked out.

History & Culture in Verbier
The first account of skiing in Verbier dates back to 1925 when a group of skiers hiked up from Sembrancher with the sole purpose being to ski back down. At this time the town was inhabited by a few cows and a couple of herdsmen. After the war the Swiss government decided it would make a great place for a ski resort and then in 1946 the first lift system was built. It wasn't until the ski boom of the 1960's that it became a popular destination and cemented itself as one of the leading resorts in the Alps.
