Verbier is situated on a sun-drenched south west facing plateau and world famous
for the varied slopes of its ski area and for its “apres-ski”
where you can unwind until the early hours.
Verbier is also one of the highest resorts in the Alps and therefore boasts an
excellent snow record offering one of the longest seasons in Europe.

Restaurants and bars are numerous on the piste and
in the village ranging from traditional Swiss—raclette &
fondue to Sushi, Italian, Indian, Pizzerias, Chinese, Creperies.
For a special treat why not book a table at La Marmotte, a traditional swiss
mountain restaurant and the best bit is the skidoo ride up and the night time
sledge run back. Highly recommended.

Après-ski is from 4 to 7p.m in every bar,
from simply relaxing with a beer or dancing on the tables to live
bands in the Farinet.
Nightlife varies from the Mont-Fort– a lively
and busy pub-bar popular with the seasonaires, The Nelson - a traditional
English pub to Crok No Name - an international bar with live music. Also
a variety of clubs from The Casbah - popular international dance
music to the infamous Farm Club or the more upmarket Club Coco for some
celebrity watching.

Getting Around in Verbier is easy and free. The resort itself is
all within walking distance and takes no more than 30 minutes to stroll from
one end of the resort to the other. However if you don't feel like walking then
Verbier has a regular and efficient (well it is Switzerland!!) bus service, and
the best part is it's all free.
During the winter season, four routes (Carrefour via Savolyeres, Le Hameau and
Les Esserts via Savolyeres; Patier which passes by the Sports Center, and Verbier
Village) run daily from 8am to 7.20pm, at regular offset intervals of 15 minutes.
All routes pass through Place Centrale and Médran (the main lift station), meaning
there’s a bus service between these two points every 5 minutes or so.
