Forecast today: Rather cloudy
Ski Club Experiences (previously Instructor-led Guiding, ILG) are no longer being offered by the Club. You are invited to ski with the Club via our Reps service, with details available here.
Most of the skiing is on high, big mountain terrain above the treeline, with the off piste itineraries the undoubted highlight. For experts the choice is almost limitless, but there are some good on piste routes and the adventure to the far end of the 4 Vallées ski area is well worth the effort – just make sure first that you’re comfortable with long draglifts.
Most of the resort spreads out from the Place Centrale and the base of the Medran gondolas, which form the buzzing hub of what is now a pretty big town.
Luxury chalets and hotels extend up and down the sunny plateau – so be prepared to walk a little bit to get to the slopes or back from town in the evening. The eating out options – both on and off the slopes – are extensive but can also be slightly on the expensive side, even by Swiss standards.
The nursery slopes are very central and the ski school’s facilities are good, so this is a good place to bring the little ones, especially as nanny services are aplenty. Off the slopes there is plenty to keep children busy, with the sledge run in La Tsoumaz particularly popular – it is one of the longest in the whole of Switzerland.
The Verbier après scene is as vibrant as it gets – but do try and make the most of happy hours and just be careful not to get too carried away as drinks are not cheap! The action starts on the slopes at Chalet Carlsberg and the yurts of Bar 1936 before moving on to two of the best resort bars in the Alps – Farinet and Pub Mont Fort. T-Bar is also popular with British visitors and hosts the Ski_Club’s_nightly_social_hour. If you make it out later then the famous Farm Club is the place to be seen.
Opens: Saturday 7 December 2024
Closes: Monday 21 April 2025
Updated for 2024/25
There is plenty of excellent skiing in Verbier, but anyone beyond beginner level will want the whole 4 Vallees area pass – the difference in price is less than 10 CHF for a six-day adult pass, so the full pass provides good value skiing. Children born in 2018 and later, and seniors born 1947 and earlier ski for free.

Before heading back up to repeat the run! We headed back up Mont Fort, to Cabana Mont fort for a great lunch! Before skiing back down, as the snow was getting very Slushy.

Winter returns to Switzerland, especially in the west of the country that gets its first really dump of the season (!)
Unsettled weather moves in over the course of this week, slowly dragging the freezing line down from 3,000m to closer to 2,000m. This will then see snow falling on elevations above this, including as much as 130cm possible (one hundred and thirty centimetres) on Wednesday alone. All told, midweek snowfall will bring around 2m to most areas above 2,000m in the west and southwest of the region.
A brief pause in the idiocy then moves in on Friday, before a number bank of snow arrive son Saturday; this will see temperatures plummet as the freezing line drops down to 500m at times, and another foot of snow is possible, this time falling across most elevations. Eastern regions of Switzerland will see this snow, too, with around a foot-and-a-half falling across most elevations as the freezing line drops.
This unsettled and snowy weather will continue to fall as the new week begins.
Our Reps service in Verbier has now concluded for the season; thank you to all our Reps who helped Members and non-Members alike discover better skiing! We look forward to seeing you all in in resort next season.
