The legendary backcountry of Verbier / 4 Vallées offers some of the Alps' best lift access to challenging off-piste terrain. And the nightlife is just as exciting.
One of the Alps’ younger resorts, Verbier has achieved a solid reputation as the ultimate freeride destination. With Switzerland’s best lift-accessed steeps, incredible touring options, and classic heli descents along the Haute Route, untracked powder is never far away. And the surrounding satellite mom-and-pop ski areas can deliver the ultimate powder day – almost the feeling of a private resort.
Bookended by Mont Blanc (4880m), the Grand Combin (4314m), and the Matterhorn (4478m), Verbier sits in the middle of some of the Alps’ biggest peaks. With over 100 lifts in the 4 Vallées system, the access to quality steep skiing within the resorts is unprecedented. The Mont Gélé tram services a test piece of off-piste skiing, while the backside of Mont Fort provides an itinerary that delivers a two-hour loop deep into the backcountry. And during storms, the tree runs in Vallon d’Arbi are some of the finest gladed skiing in the region.
All of this paired with a half-dozen surrounding resorts in the “Pays de St. Bernard” that hold some of the region’s secret powder stashes, and you’ll be sure to find the best conditions on any given day. And Verbier’s legendary nightlife always makes things interesting.
