VERBIER FREERIDE SKIING

Switzerland's Best Off-Piste and Backcountry Ski Resort

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.

  • "I would have to say that Verbier and Zermatt might be the best places I have ever ridden a mountain bike, and I couldn't imagine going without the help of Epic Europe's guides. It was a dream trip for sure." - B.S., PA USA
  • "Hiking in the Alps has always been on my bucket list, but I wasn't sure that a typical trip was my style. Epic Europe designed a custom route for our group, staying in the best little inns and hotels, and we felt like we had the trails to ourselves. I will come back again and again to explore new trails with their guides every year that I can!" - R.B., NY USA
  • “The team at Epic Europe created the most incredible trip for us, where everything came together seamlessly, and we never had to think about what came next - it just magically happened as if it was meant to be. That takes real talent, and they make it look easy." - B.N., WY USA
  • "I have done trips in the Alps and surrounding regions with Epic Europe for the past 4 years, and every one has been unique and surpassed the last. The experiences that they deliver due to their personal relationships are a window into the real life in these incredible locations, and they share these friendships with us." - K.B., CT USA
  • "Epic Europe has coordinated several corporate events for us over the past 5 years, and I cannot imagine a more professional operation to handle all of the details. From a team-building event for 50 people in a 17th-century castle atop a mountain pass, to marketing conferences and catalog shoots, their knowledge of the best locations in the Alps is second-to-none, and they are as good as it gets at being creative." - E.P., Lugano CH
  • "A day of heliskiing in Italy culminated with a sunset run off the Breuil saddle of the Matterhorn - one of the most thrilling runs of my life - and we left our tracks in a place where they remained for a week afterward, reminding us of the best day of skiing in our life!" - WG, CT USA
  • "Our family spent last Christmas in Zermatt on a bespoke Epic Europe ski trip. The special thought and care that they put into our holiday made it our best yet." - L.M.; CA USA
  • "Epic Europe's custom road biking trip that they put together for my buddy's bachelor party was great - the right combination of killer rides, great hotels, and outstanding restaurants. Great guides, and overall a perfect trip." - A.S., London UK
