Verbier is a village in the canton of Valais in southern Switzerland and is one of the best and most extensive ski resorts in the Alps. It hardly shuts between seasons - bar a few weeks in May and October - otherwise there’s always something happening in this gem of a ski resort. The location is more than stunning, with views of both the Matterhorn and Mont Blanc. There are 80 lifts accessing 400kms worth of runs - where the snow is pretty reliable - the thrills are too - and the après ski is arguable the best in Switzerland. Book early or late and you’ll probably still find great snow as well as a great time. The best places to stay in Verbier range from grand ski hotels to luxury mountainside hideaways.
