Verbier is world renowned for it’s world class, high altitude skiing, and of course it’s nightlife. Skiers the world over flock to Verbier year on year to enjoy the slopes and indulge in the lively après ski that Verbier has to offer. As part of  the Four Valleys Ski Area, Verbier offers access to 412km of downhill skiing across various villages in the area.

At the turn of the 20th century Verbier was little more than a few farmer’s huts and cattle pastures. It’s potential as a ski resort was discovered in 1925 when a group of keen mountaineers hiked up 15km from Sembrancher in order to ski back down again.  Over the next ten years Verbier expanded as a holiday destination but still essentially remained a small alpine village. It was not until the ski boom of the 1960’s that it was established as a fully fledged ski resort. The rest, as they say, is history.
