Not to be outdone by France’s Les Trois Vallees, Switzerland’s Four Vallees is the largest ski area the country has to offer, and includes the ski resorts of Verbier, Nendaz, Veysonnaz, Thyon and La Tzoumaz. Verbier is ski heaven for advanced skiers, particularly those in search of challenging mogul runs and exciting off-piste terrain.
A visit to the platform at the top of the majestic mountain that is Mont-Fort is a must for skiers and non-skiers alike. The 360 view is simply spectacular, taking in as it does, the Matterhorn, Mont Blanc, the Dent Blanche, the Weisshorn and Grand Combin. As the saying goes; what goes up, must go down – for added excitement, the 1,400m long Mont4 zipline is a thrilling way to make your descent. The ski season runs between the beginning of December to late April.
For a change from skiing, Verbier has the longest sledge run in this part of the Alps. The 834m descent is speedy and the views panoramic, or try an exhilarating husky dog sledding expedition, for an hour, half a day or a full day – take your pick!
Not surprisingly, those who love to ski hard, love to party hard. Apres-ski in Verbier is legendary! Food-wise, you’re spoilt for choice with restaurants of all descriptions offering both traditional Swiss cuisine and a whole lot more.
