Verbier
The information provided is purely advisory and was correct at the time of posting

In the latest Good Ski Guide magazine, Verbier was ranked in 3 'Best of the Best'
categories - for advanced skiers, off-piste skiing and après-ski. Do we agree? Well… as
the top banana of the Four Valleys domain, Verbier has access to 400km of pistes. It has
an excellent sun and snow record, particularly at higher altitudes, also offering a limited
amount of year-round skiing on the Mont Fort glacier. From here the scenery is absolutely
breathtaking. There's a massive array of skiing throughout the area, with unlimited
off-piste and great black runs for advanced skiers. There is also a specialist park for
boarders. Tuition for better skiers is of the highest order, while the lift system has
been constantly upgraded since 1994. The resort itself offers an excellent variety of
restaurants, extremely lively nightlife and plenty for non-skiers to do.
Any disadvantages? The skiing lower down can be poor as a result of the sun. There can
often be considerable queues. Prices are high, even for Switzerland. The accommodation
won't be winning architectural awards any time soon.
Verbier is a superb resort, particularly for better skiers, but as the list of faults
confirms, it isn't quite in the same league as some other domains - Whistler, the Trois
Vallées and Val d'Isère/Tignes are all a head or more above. Nonetheless, this is a
seriously good skiing venue and the views are among the best in the world.
