Verbier
in Valais

Verbier is the Swiss Alps at their most exhilarating. The off-piste reputation is well-earned: the terrain above the resort is serious, varied, and on a powder day after a heavy snowfall, among the finest in Europe. The 4 Vallées lift network is vast enough to keep even the most restless skier occupied for a full week. The village is lively and expensive in equal measure, with a nightlife that outlasts most European ski resorts and a food scene that has quietly become exceptional. Come for the mountain, stay for the whole very good-looking package.
