Verbier flights and travel guide

Verbier is a picturesque Swiss ski resort nestled on a vast plateau almost 1,524m (5,000 ft) above the valley floor and surrounded by majestic snow-covered mountains. Verbier lies at the heart of Les Quatres Vallées (Four Valleys) and is the hub of this extensive ski area. A sophisticated network of cable cars and gondolas connect all the resorts in the region and provide access to 410km (253 miles) of marked pistes. Verbier is the primary ski resort of French-speaking Switzerland, attracting advanced skiers and snowboarders to its demanding slopes and unlimited off-piste opportunities. Although quaint in appearance, Verbier offers all the modern comforts and facilities of a major resort, with some of the finest cuisine in the region and a raucous nightlife combining English-style pubs and French cafes. Much of Verbier closes down over the summer but despite this it can also be a great summer destination with magnificent scenery, good weather and wonderful walks; during this time it is popular with paragliders.
