World-Class Skiing in Verbier
Verbier is a paradise for winter sports enthusiasts, boasting an extensive ski area that spans 195 km of marked pistes, catering to all skill levels. The slopes are spread across the sectors of Les Ruinettes, Les Attelas, Savoleyres, Bruson, and within the resort itself. With an advanced artificial snow-making system extending from Les Attelas at 2,730m down to Verbier at 1,500m, guests can ski directly to The Lodge while enjoying an extended season from November through April. The 38 state-of-the-art lifts, including the Funispace enclosed cable car and the 125-person jumbo lift from Tortin to Gentianes, provide seamless access to the slopes, making every ski day effortless and exhilarating.
The Lodge team enhances the skiing experience by offering in-house equipment fitting, ski pass delivery, and transportation to the lifts. Professional ski instructors are available for personalized lessons, catering to beginners and experts alike. For an extra thrill, off-piste skiing, itinerary-only runs, and heli-skiing options await the most adventurous guests.
Beyond skiing, winter visitors can try snowshoeing through pristine trails, embark on exhilarating ice-climbing adventures, or take in breathtaking views with a tandem paragliding flight over Mont Blanc. For a family-friendly outing, the open-air ice rink at Verbier Sports Centre promises hours of entertainment.
Summer Adventures in Verbier
While winter sports dominate the colder months, Verbier transforms into an outdoor paradise in summer. Guests can hike through scenic alpine trails, explore the mountains on mountain bikes, or tee off at one of the region’s golf courses. Adrenaline seekers can experience the Mont 4 Zipline, the highest in the world, soaring down the mountain at speeds of up to 130 km/h.
For a more leisurely escape, a visit to a local cheese farm offers an immersive culinary experience, where guests can learn the art of traditional Swiss cheesemaking while sampling regional delicacies.

Evenings are a social affair, with the Michelin-trained head chef and his team preparing meals in the open kitchen.
