Verbier is justifiably famous as one of the most outstanding ski areas in Europe and lies high in a sunny, well-sheltered position in the heart of Switzerland's southern-most Alps. There’s a vast array of tempting shops, as well as many restaurants and lively bars. The ski area is vast, high and varied with over 400kms of runs (including Thyon, Veysonnaz and Nendaz) and a glacier at 3,330m, providing even the most proficient skier with an almost unlimited number of challenges.
Beginners - 
Verbier boasts some lovely, sunny, nursery slopes for beginners just above the village centre and on Savoleyres, with its tree-lined runs down to La Tzoumaz. New "magic carpet" lifts have been installed in the Esserts beginner area.
Intermediates -
This huge ski-playground of the Verbier/Mont Fort area offers some of the most varied skiing in the Alps with 206kms of runs served by 43 lifts.

An absolute paradise, with hundreds of new challenges every day. The Jumbo Mont Fort cable car will take you up to the glacier and the notorious Tortin snow bowl with its phenomenally high bumps from top to bottom.
