The official closing date for the Verbier winter season is 1st May 2012, however the lower slopes of Bruson and the sunny south facing slopes of Savoleyres/La Tzoumaz may close a few weeks earlier if snow conditions deteriorate.

Opening & Closing Dates for Verbier - Summer2012

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 late 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 Verbier Summer Lift Schedule for more details of opening dates and times.
