Verbier skiing holidays have everything, from fearsome black runs to gentle learner slopes and a range of snow sport options which must intimidate any competing ski resort in Europe! Verbier’s off piste is some of the most challenging you can find, and whether you decide to take a skiing weekend in Verbier or a full Verbier skiing holiday, you will have no end of entertainment day and night!
Things to do on holiday in Verbier, Switzerland
Taking a Verbier ski chalet gives you access to over 250 miles of pistes, and endless off piste, perfect for the more adventurous, and skilled skiers and snowboarders among you. There are also ski schools and gentle slopes for the less confident members of your party to enjoy, after which you can meet back at your Verbier accommodation before heading back to revel in the legendary après-ski which Verbier and the 4 Valleys have become renowned for. Snow sports enthusiasts will already know of the intimidating runs of Mont Fort, and will probably rush to take Verbier ski chalet accommodation as a result.
If you are on a ski weekend in Verbier, chalets are the perfect base as they give you the flexibility needed to cram in every activity you were hoping to indulge in, including visiting the extensive shopping areas, a selection of the 60 fine restaurants and the magical nightlife.
Taking a property or ski chalet in Verbier is not only about downhill skiing. The resort also offers heliskiing, toboggan runs, cross-country skiing, ice skating and glacier hiking. Verbier is also known as one of the best paragliding, hangliding and parascending destinations in Switzerland.
Verbier in summer seems to be a totally different resort. Although the resort is much quieter, Verbier’s ski chalets are not. Mountain bikers flock to the resort to bike down some of the same fearsome tracks used by skiers in winter.
Verbier’s mountain biking is simply exhilarating. Although doing a selection of the 125 miles of marked runs is easily enough entertainment to send you home with a smile from ear to ear, hiring one of the Verbier bike guides (who are available 5 days a week) means that you can get the most out of your Verbier holiday or weekend break, with itineraries tailored to your experience and ambition.
