Skiing & Boarding in Verbier

Verbier is one giant natural fun park and there really is something for everyone here. Take a look at our inside information on where to find the best Beginner Areas, the Best Piste Runs, challenging pistes for Advanced Skiers, the best Off-Piste Skiing, the Snowparks, and importantly, the Best Lunch & Sun Spots! We've also compiled  some information on Cross-Country Skiing in the valley, and Handiski - skiing for the disabled.

Avalanches, Mountain Safety & Awareness

The mountains provide a spectacular playground for skiers, climbers, mountaineers, yet their beauty can also be deadly. High mountain terrain can be subject to extreme weather conditions, rock falls and avalanches. You should always take note of safety warnings and we always recommend you hire a mountain guide when heading into high mountain terrain. Be aware and be safe!

Non-Skiing Activities in Verbier

Never fear, there is plenty for non-skiers to do in the resort. The village has plenty to offer if skiing/snowboarding isn't your cup of tea. From a range of alternative mountain pursuits to more sedate cultural or therapeutic options, you can make it as action-packed or as relaxed as you like! And of course, you can still enjoy the peaks of the mountains by buying a pedestrian lift pass to have lunch with your skier friends, or simply to enjoy the views.
