In Verbier, it is impossible to get bored, because this resort attracts the gentry in winter clothes every year who consider it an ideal vacation spot. There are just a few luxury hotels in the region, but magnificent chalets all around the resort to take advantage of the remarkable ski area.

OUR FAVORITE RESTAURANTS AT VERBIER SKI RESORT
At Dany's
Get ready for an authentic dining experience. To get there, you have options. You can access the restaurant by car, but we choose to go up there on snowshoes. After 15 minutes of walking in the snow, we are happy to curl up in the warm space of this mountain chalet. At Dany, we were seduced by the traditional recipes created with fresh and seasonal products. We recommend for you to share a fondue in typical Savoyard spirit.
La Table d'Adrien
A little away from the turmoil of Verbier, there is a chalet that combines refinement and tradition. The restaurant's chef, originally from Puglia, prepares sumptuous pasta. It is no great surprise that we find this establishment in the pages of the Michelin guide. The wine list is also very rich and the advice of the sommelier greatly appreciated. At La Table d'Adrien you can also eat on the terrace facing an incredible view, which further adds to the fact that this restaurant is definitely worth a visit during your winter sports vacation.
Mont Fort igloo
We could not miss the presentation of this atypical restaurant / bar perched at the top of the mountain. In this Igloo, taste regional specialties facing an extraordinary panorama at an altitude of 3,300 meters. With Mont blanc, Matterhorn, and Weisshorn, there are more than 110 summits that you can have fun guessing which is which.
Le Caveau
Unmissable in the resort, Le Caveau has been operating for 50 years in the heart of the Savoyard village. In its cellars, find your joy among a selection of 250 kinds of artisanal cheeses from the region, made from raw milk, matured, from the best mountain pastures of the Bagnes valley.

Chalet Sirroco
Dominating the valley, nestled on a belvedere and leaning against the side of Mont de Savoleyres, Chalet Sirroco enjoys a breathtaking view of the resort. At the foot of the slopes, it allows you to warm up in the cozy lounge, crossed by the light, around a welcoming fireplace.
After a long day on the slopes, relax in the basement of the chalet where a gentle waterfall plunges into a heated swimming pool. A must-have during a luxury ski vacation!
Chalet Octave
In the middle of the conifers and standing in front of the eternal snow of the summits, Chalet Octave is a comforting refuge. The rich and thick materials of the living room combined with the rustic pine paneling warmly welcomes weary skiers.
Our favorite activity nearby is a visit to the Laiterie de Verbier, just a few steps away, where you can learn how to make your own cheese.
Chalet Daphne
Chalet Daphné is ideally located as close as possible to the resort's centre. It is easy to enjoy the village and its restaurants. With its mountain charm, its shades of wood, black, gray and red, this warm residence is wildly sophisticated. In the morning, sit on the terrace for lunch under the first rays of the Swiss sun.
THE ESSENTIAL SITES OF THE SKI RESORT
Direction Mont Gelé
Put on your skis, put on your goggles, grab your ski passes and get on the cable car as we set off for an invigorating journey to Mont Gelé. From its 3,518 meters high, this mountain is one of the resort's iconic locations. At the top, the view is breathtaking, as you can admire the entire valley of the Alps: with Italy, Switzerland, Mont Blanc, a 360° panorama extends in front of you.
Now is the time to come down. Here, no track is visible. That's also the charm of Verbier's ski resort: the freedom to make your way in the middle of the immaculate snow. The different routes allow you to discover the mountain in all aspects.
Face to face with Bec des Rosses
If this name is not foreign to you, it is because it is particularly known for having hosted the final of the Free Ride World Tour for several consecutive years. It is a competition bringing together the best riders in the world. It is possible to venture there, but we only recommend it to the most determined and talented among you. We're contented to contemplate this intimidating summit from the natural amphitheater of the sunny plateau of the Col des Gentianes.
The kings of skiing in Verbier
Recover your youthful spirit and set off on the longest toboggan run in French-speaking Switzerland. To get there, you have to board a cable car from La Tzoumaz. We climb to 2,354 meters above sea level in the Savoleyres sector where an incredible view awaits you on the Rhône plain and the mountain peaks. If you are not into speed and thrills, no worries, it is possible to take your time. During this descent of 834 meters, you will encounter landscapes worthy of fairy tales, large white expanses and a passage through the enchanted forests of the valley.
Mont 4 Zipline, the Tyrolean of Verbier
Now how about putting your skis aside and getting your adrenaline pumping on the longest zip line in the world? This is what the Verbier ski resort offers you to experience at the top of Mont Fort at an altitude of 3,300 meters. 1,400 meters of cable, a top speed set at around 130km / h, this attraction is intended for those who are not afraid of anything. During the descent, we have the chance to fly over the Torrin glacier, and it is a thrilling experience that the whole family can have.
