Four seasons in one week in Verbier
Heaps of snow, rain and sunshine
Verbier has experienced all sorts of weather this week, with masses of snow falling on Monday, then some rain and, finally, a couple of bluebird days on Tuesday and Wednesday.
The pistes are in great condition and there is also powder to be found all around Verbier. Current snow depths stand at 100cm down at resort level, 280cm mid-mountain and 400cm at the top, which means that the season will hopefully be nice and long.
There is a little bit of snow coming on Friday but the next few days will be sunny and warm.
Ski safely off-piste
Exploring beyond the ski resort boundaries is an amazing experience for anyone who's physically fit and has mastered the pistes well enough. There are, however, risks associated with venturing outside the safety of the marked/patrolled ski area, including awareness of your actions on those below you on the slopes. Mountain guides are professionally qualified and have extensive knowledge of the local terrain to provide you with the safest and most enjoyable possible experience in the mountains; as a visitor here we highly recommend you hire one. Many ski schools, and also mountain guides, provide instruction in off-piste skiing, avalanche safety and mountaineering techniques. Make your time in the mountains unforgettable for the right reasons, ski safe!
