Welcome to the first of many Chalet Verbier blogs. One of the great European ski destinations, Verbier offers great skiing in the Four Valleys up to 3,330m (Mont Fort). In the Four Valleys there are 35 Blue, 55 Red, and 10 Black runs.
Whilst it rightly is a mecca for advanced skiers, there is great ski area for beginners and young family ski members in the Savoleyres area with a travelator and drag lift. Intermediates will find that to ski Verbier, they really do have to push themselves, but this is part of its attraction, no more posing, well not until the apres ski, just hard, fun skiing that will leave you with a satisfied grin at the end of the week. And with 412km of pistes, anyone who claims to be bored at the end of the week does need shooting!
In terms of one of the myths that still gets spouted regarding skiing Verbier, great resort, but its a shame about the lift queues! Yes there was an issue 10 years ago, but the new Gondola to Mont Gele and the La Chaux Gondola / Chair (its true - it is a gondola and a chair lift all in one) have long since eradicated the problems.
Off the slopes, Verbier is situated at 1,550m and all the chalets Verbier are typically Swiss - pretty and clad beautiffully in wood, making this a very beautiful ski town. There are many restaurants and bars and its reputation for partying is nearly as legendary as its skiing!
Whilst Verbier isn't cheap, it is one of the resorts to be seen in and ski! We'll continue to tell you why and feature some of the best catered chalets and luxury catered chalets on offer so please keep popping back to the Chalet Verbier blog.
