The resort of Verbier has combined the magic of an alpine village and the requirements of a modern ski resort of high rank. If you are a ski enthusiast, it’s time to prepare your bags for a good time on the slopes of Verbier.
Opening of the ski slopes in Verbier
With its large slopes for all levels, Verbier undoubtedly remains the Eldorado of skiing and snowboarding. Its ski area offers a natural playground without limits where Alpine flora and fauna are covered with a white coat in winter. Beginners and athletes from around the world find their happiness there every season.
The snow is fresh as it recently snowed more than 70 cm of fresh snow at Attelas, 40 cm at Ruinettes and 30 cm at the resort. This allowed the ski resort of Verbier to easily open its slopes to please winter sports fans. The freezing temperatures of recent days have also facilitated the start-up of snow cannons in Attelas, les Ruinettes and la Chaux. Most runs are now operational for guaranteed thrills. Note that the 4 Vallées is at your disposal every day until the end of the season.
