Opening & Closing Dates for Verbier - Summer 2010

The Verbier lift system is open, in part, throughout the summer giving access to many beautiful hikes and bike rides.  The first lift to open is Les Ruinettes, which operates on weekends only from early May and then runs daily from July. It is also the last lift to close, ending its daily service late September but continuing to run at weekends (depending on the weather) right up until October.

The other summer lifts run mainly from early July until the last weekend of August, with the Les Ruinettes to Mont Fort connections opening slightly later.  Please see the Summer Lift Schedule for more details of opening dates and times.

Individual Lift Tickets

Individual Lift Tickets

With over 400kms of marked hiking trails in the area, you will definitely regret not bringing your walking boots to Verbier! Enjoying the high mountain trails and scenery is made all the easier when you make use of the summer lift system.

As in winter, in order to use the lifts you first need to purchase a lift ticket. You can either do this on an individual basis for the lifts you want to use; or perhaps a more economical way is to purchase a day ticket which will give you unlimited access to a number of lifts in the area. Day and half day tickets are available either just for the Verbier lifts, or for Verbier and Mont Fort combined should you wish to venture further.

Verbier offers a number of guided hikes to the highlights in the area - see our Hiking in Verbier article for more details.

Verbier Bike Park

Verbier Bike Park

New in 2006, the Verbier Bike Park is a must for downhill fans with 6km of serious downhill tracks running from Ruinettes to the Médran in Verbier. The 700m vertical drop in altitude makes it more suitable for speedsters and hardcore downhillers, however, you have to start somewhere and the park offers 4 different gradients of trail – green, blue, red and black – for beginners, intermediates and experts respectively.

There are 4 downhill tracks proposed in total, stretching for over 20 kilometres. They will break down roughly into the following percentages; 10% green, 20% blue, 40% red and 30% black. Also there are plans to develop a lot more obstacles and ramps which should gives riders of all levels more variety of terrain to ride on.

You can either buy a day or half day lift ticket to use the park which will give you unlimited access to the Ruinettes gondola. Alternatively, each afternoon, pro-riders from the Verbier bike team are available to show you around the trails (min. 2 people), telling you all you need to know about the park and the obstacles on the way. Advance reservation is recommended for one of these “Brakeless” sessions, but bear in mind that your lift ticket, bike hire and protective equipment are not included in the price. To check your progress during your stay, you can hire a “Freelap” timer gadget that will tell you the time of your descent on 3 different sections of the black “Tire’s Fire” piste.

The park is open daily from early June to late October every summer. See the Verbier Bike Park official site below for the latest dates and info (in French only).

There are plenty of sport shops in and around town offering mountain bikes and protection kit for rent or sale (No Bounds, Medran Sport, Jet Sport, Xtreme or Happy Sport in Le Chable)
