Skiing at Verbier

People who take skiing holidays at Verbier are in the 4 Vallees region, which offers 410 km of multi-level ski runs and 92 ski-lifts. A single ski-pass gives you full access to all the runs. 

Verbier has four distinct skiing areas, each quite unique in terrain and terms of difficulty. These are Verbier, La Tzoumaz and Savoleyres, Bruson and Mt Fort and 4 Valleys. The highest point is the Mont Fort glacier (3,330m) which offers superb skiing throughout the season owing to its altitude. However, there are back-up snow machines just to make sure.

Ski holidays in Verbier – without the skis

When you book ski holidays to Verbier, you are going to one of the top snowboarding locations in the Alps. If you’ve never tried boarding, now is your chance, as both tuition and boards are widely available. There are almost as many boarding slopes as there are ski runs. 

In fact, if you’re finding skiing a bit “passé,” we At The Co-operative Travel strongly advise you think about skiing breaks in Verbier – only leave the skis at home.
