The Verbinet.Com Verbier Snow Report

 ... (& Rock Report in the summer!)
Our snow reports (and the summer updates) are your guide to the resort's pistes and activities, mixed in with news, views and gossip from around the slopes. We aim to offer more than just stats about snow depths, and we always give you an honest and frank account of what the snow is really like. We want to give you the best information to help you make decisions as to when and where to ski. We try and keep the reports coming regularly, especially when the snow is falling; but even when conditions aren't great we'll give you plenty of ideas and insiders' tips on where to go and how amuse yourself on the slopes. If you have any feedback on the reports please let us know.

Don't forget to check out our Video Snow Reports so you can see the conditions for yourselves!

The weather over the last week has been fantastic but occasionally there have been some big storms in the evenings. The temperatures are very high but up in the resort of Verbier it has stayed quite fresh in the shade, allowing a brief respite when the sun gets too much.

Town is really buzzing at the moment as we are half way through the Verbier classical music festival which runs until the end of the month. Also T-Bar is hosting its own music festival with the Half Way Home Buoy band playing tonight and a full line up of live music acts up until the end of the month too. The music festival has also spawned fringe events such as jazz nights in the Crok bar, Nevai and Vieux Verbier restaurant. This Friday there is also the Pink party starting at Pub Mont Fort and finishing at the Coup d’Etat. Le Rouge opened last weekend too and it is a great place to go at anytime of the day.

The recent storms have created some interesting conditions on the mountain biking tracks around Verbier. I have been riding quite a bit recently around Verbier and also towards the Savoleyres and Tzoumaz area. Last weekend we took the bikes up to Col des Gentianes and then caught the lift down to Tortin. From there we biked to Siviez and then caught the lift up to the top of Combatzeline. We then continued to bike and at times push uphill until we got into the next valley and then reversed the whole journey. The tracks over in that direction are very easy to follow and not too difficult at all. Although, make sure that you have a lift pass that is valid for the whole area before you set off. Once we got back onto the Verbier side we were able to drop from the Col des Gentianes down to Le Chable in the valley below which was a very long ride down, dropping roughly 1800 metres.

If you want something a little more relaxed when you are in Verbier then hit the walking trails as there are loads of both, high mountain trails and alpine forest walks. A map can be obtained from the tourist office. The golf course is also another option as it affords excellent views of the surrounding mountains in a tranquil setting. The outdoor swimming pool is somewhere to head when the heat is getting too much. There is also a beach volleyball area, outdoor tennis courts and diving boards for the more adventurous.
This Sunday catch the Eco-Marche outdoor market in the Place Central area and pick up some home grown vegetables, hand made trinkets or splash out on a painting of the surrounding mountains by one of the local artists.

There looks to be some more unsettled weather for the end of the week on the way but it was forecast for showers today and in the end it was a brilliant sunny and warm day. Hopefully if the clouds do come it will be short and sharp like our recent storms and will not interfere too much in our continued enjoyment of the mountains.


See the conditions for yourself with our weekly Video Snow Reports and check out what to do around town once the lifts have closed with our What's On Calendar and Apres Ski Report - a weekly round up of what's hot and where to party in Verbier!

We will be keeping this Verbier snow and rock report updated two to three times a week during the winter season, and weekly during the summer. If you want even more up-to-date news on the ski conditions, check out our video snow reports or why not sign up for our Dump Alert? We'll email you each time it snows enough to significantly change the skiing conditions. It's great to know that the snow is falling in the run-up to your holiday, and it might even allow you to book a last-minute weekend when the snow is particularly good. The service is free, and you can unsubscribe whenever you like.
