Where is Verbier?

Verbier is located in the canton of Valais, in the southwest of Switzerland, on the heights of the Val de Bagnes, not far from Martigny. The village sits at about 1,500 meters above sea level. It provides access to the 4 Valleys ski area and Mont Fort, whose summit reaches around 3,330 meters. 

You can get to the resort notably from Le Châble, in the valley. Once you're there, the mountain scenery is never far away, whether you came to ski, hike, or just enjoy the village atmosphere.

Why choose Verbier for your next trip?

Verbier is appealing for its sporty side, without making you spend the whole day on the slopes. You can start early in the mountains, have lunch up high, and enjoy the village’s lively atmosphere by the end of the day.

The 4 Valleys, a playground for skiers

Verbier is part of the 4 Valleys ski area, which connects several resorts in Valais. There are long skiing days to plan according to your level, with high-altitude areas and routes popular with freeride enthusiasts. Off-piste trips require proper guidance and checking the conditions.

Activities that don’t stop in winter 

When the snow gives way to the trails, Verbier remains an outdoor destination. Mountain biking, e-biking, hiking, trail running, and paragliding let you discover the Val de Bagnes in a different way. 

A sporty resort, but also great spots to enjoy 

After skiing or hiking, Verbier changes pace: restaurants, terraces, après-ski bars, and luxury accommodations are all part of its charm. You can choose a lively atmosphere or prefer a chalet for a quieter evening.

Getting a bird’s-eye view at Mont Fort
