Verbier
Apres-Ski in Verbier
The après-ski is legendary in Verbier, mostly concentrated round Place Centrale. (The outlying parts of the town are much quieter if that's what you prefer). Straight off the slopes, head for Le Rouge or the Pub Mont Fort. If dancing on tables in ski boots is your thing, then try the terrace of the Farinet. For clubs - well, there's The Farm in the Nevaï. Believe us, that's just a very small sample of what's available. Verbier really is party town.
Eating out, there's something for gourmets like Cordée des Alpes, bistros like Fer à Cheval and, for burgers and pancakes, the Offshore Café is fun, with a pink VW beetle in the entrance.
Other activities include tobogganing, ice climbing, winter walking, snowshoeing, ski touring, paragliding…oh, the list is endless.
For a crackerjack of a ski holiday, Verbier is the place to go. Let GetSkiing arrange it for you - you'll need to save your energy for the skiing and après!
Gary's Little Gems in Verbier
One of my top three ski resorts in the world and a place where I spent two ski seasons in the early 1980 (oops showing my age!) If you want a few challenges, try skiing the fall line of Mt Fort and some the couloirs of Mt Gelé. For great tree skiing on a powder day, a trip across the valley to Bruson will present new challenges. For good intermediates who like a ski circuit, try skiing all four valleys and go to Thyon 2000 and back in one day.
