Discover Verbier and its many activities

Verbier is much more than just a destination for ski addicts. For those looking for a different kind of winter adventure, there’s a whole world to explore beyond the classic slopes. Imagine speeding down an epic toboggan run, hurtling down miles of fresh snow as you weave through snowy forests. Or escape to secret ski areas, where the slopes are seldom used and the thrills are never far away. For those who prefer a more leisurely pace, cross-country skiing offers picturesque routes, perfect for recharging your batteries in the heart of nature. And if exploration beckons, don your skins and discover spectacular ski touring routes, far from the crowds. In Verbier, the possibilities are endless, even for those who don’t ski!

Sled

Sledding at La Tzoumaz is the perfect activity for those who don’t ski but still want to enjoy the joys of the snow. With its 10 kilometers of downhill runs, this specially dedicated track lets you glide through enchanting alpine landscapes, surrounded by snow-covered forests. Starting from the summit of Savoleyres, easily accessible by gondola, the adventure takes you all the way back to the village, offering a fun and exciting way to experience the mountains in a different way. Whether you’re with family or friends, tobogganing at La Tzoumaz promises an unforgettable winter experience, full of laughter and fun, without the need for skis. However, be sure to check piste conditions beforehand to guarantee a safe descent and even more fun.

Bruson

Nestled off the beaten track, Bruson’s ski area may seem small, with just 26 kilometers of pistes, but it offers an excellent skiing experience thanks to fast new lifts and excellent off-piste terrain nearby. Thanks to its modest size, Bruson retains relatively uncrowded pistes, making it an ideal playground for intermediate skiers and snowboarders. For the more experienced, one piste offers a challenge, on the way back down into the valley.

Cross-country skiing

Cross-country skiing in Verbier offers a unique experience for nature lovers and outdoor sports enthusiasts. While the Ruinettes trail at 2200m altitude is a must for its panoramic views of the Combins, the trails at Le Planpro and Champex add an extra dimension to the adventure. Le Planpro offers a variety of runs to suit all levels, while Chamsec offers a peaceful, unspoilt setting, ideal for total immersion in tranquillity. Whether you’re a beginner or an expert, these different cross-country ski trails in Verbier promise unforgettable moments in the heart of Alpine landscapes.

Ski touring

Ski touring in Verbier holds hidden treasures for adventurers in search of less-traveled routes.

To explore these areas safely and discover the best spots, we strongly recommend hiring a local guide. These experts know the snow conditions inside out and can lead you to unique and memorable experiences, while ensuring your safety.
