A weekend in Verbier - The swiss way of life : Ski, Party & Raclette !
Welcome to Verbier, a vibrant gem of the Swiss Alps perched at 1,500 meters on a sun-drenched plateau facing the Grand Combin and Mont Blanc. As one of the Valais’ most iconic resorts, Verbier perfectly combines a sporty spirit with a cosmopolitan atmosphere.
Born in the 1930s as a small alpine hamlet, Verbier has grown into an international hotspot without ever losing its soul. Wooden chalets, lively streets, sunny terraces and a festive vibe – the resort blends authenticity and modernity with effortless style. Whether you come for adrenaline, fine dining or fresh air, Verbier offers a rare balance between energy and serenity.
In winter, the 4 Vallées ski area connects over 400 kilometers of slopes between Verbier, Nendaz, Veysonnaz and Thyon. From the top of Mont-Fort, standing tall at 3,330 meters, the views of the Matterhorn and Mont Blanc are simply breathtaking. Freeride enthusiasts will find endless off-piste terrain, while beginners enjoy wide, sunny slopes and top-quality Swiss ski schools.
In summer, the mountains turn into a lush playground. Hiking trails lead to the Lac des Vaux, mountain bikers race down the Verbier Bike Park, and thrill-seekers take to the skies paragliding above the valley. As the day winds down, enjoy a glass of wine on a sunny terrace or a dinner facing the peaks – that signature blend of chic and relaxed that makes Verbier so special.
Verbier is more than a resort – it’s a way of life. TheWeekender designs tailor-made stays that blend adventure, relaxation and gastronomy, all set in an unforgettable alpine landscape. Contact us today to start planning your Swiss getaway !
