Well folks, it’s really starting to smell like the end of the season here in Verbier. And that said, here it is…my final “Après” report of the season. That’s right…you have one last weekend to get some lift accessed turns and let loose in Verbier, as from Monday onwards, the lifts (and most businesses in town!) will remain shut until the snow melts away and a colourful bouquet of mountain flowers replaces it. After last weekend’s action packed cow fighting fun (see photos), let’s see what this one has in store for us:
This weekend, it’s once again time for the season’s “Ultimate Session”. These 26th & 27th of April, come join the fun up the mountain for the special price of only 45 SFR/day (36 SFR for youths & 22 SFR for children - Verbier sector open only) which includes a Raclette at La Chaux! The weekend’s busy program includes the “Big White” Downhill Race, a mountain bike contest taking place bright & early, both on Saturday & Sunday morning between Attelas & Verbier (inscriptions at info@verbiersportplus.ch), as well as many activities taking place by the snow park, including waterslide skiing, a Big Air and DJing. There will also be “on snow” Football and Volley Ball matches between professionals of both sports. And as if that wasn’t enough, daily from 3pm, the party continues in the resort with a street fair, Dirt Bike demos and much more! For more info on all this, call +41 27 775-3363, or log on to www.verbiersportplus.ch.
But let’s not get ahead of ourselves…today from 4pm the annual Surefoot BBQ is taking place on the shop’s roof top. Everyone’s welcome; just make your way to Médran bearing something to grill and your beverage of choice, and…Bob’s your uncle!
Those looking for a bit of live music this weekend will find it at the Central T Bar. Tomorrow night, catch White Out as they perform their last gig of the season, while Saturday evening, it’s Faye & Louis’s turn to take to the stage. Shows start at 9.30pm (both nights) and there is no cover charge.
And in sports news, this coming Tuesday and Wednesday, 29th and 30th of April, football fans need look no further than the T Bar to catch the Champions League Football semi-finals. What could be better than downing a few pints of lager amongst friends while watching some serious action on the big screen?
Well…perhaps this is. This coming Sunday evening, 27th of April, don’t miss the legendary closing of the Pub Mont Fort. As per every year, in conjunction with the closing of the lifts, everyone will gather at the Pub to drink the bar dry and celebrate the end of yet another great season! Be there or be square…
With the weather forecast calling for warmth and sunshine all weekend long, if all this doesn’t give you the itch to set your sights on our little mountain town and come enjoy yourselves one last time this season, I don’t know what will!
This is Sébastien Albert wishing you all a great time here in Verbier…and hoping to see you all again this summer!
