With the Olympics in Vancouver the interest in ski holidays has taken on a new lease of life but for most winter sport holiday makers it is something that they can admire and hope to copy in their own small way! The snow in the Alps is about as good as it gets and there is no better place to take a skiing holiday than at Verbier.
Verbier’s combination of extensive scenic pistes plus thrilling off-piste terrain has made it a must-ski resort for anyone of intermediate standard. With slopes as high as 3,330 metres, it’s also sure to have late-season snow if you decide on a ski holiday later. Just a short hop from Geneva, and easily accessible by public transport, Verbier makes an ideal choice for a long-weekend break. Add some charming mountain restaurants and legendary nightlife, and you have the ingredients for the perfect ski resort.
Apart from its fabulous skiing there is a great night life for the young at heart and not so young at heart, you can enjoy some of the best après ski in Switzerland. The Hotel Farinet has live music every early evening, with dancing on the bar and tables; if it gets too rowdy, the adjacent lounge bar full of low sofas is ideal for a quieter chat. The Pub Mont Fort is full of skiers who have popped in for a quick après-ski drink and don’t get around to leaving until bedtime!
With some great ski deals still available to Verbier and the entire Alpine region, getting away for a long weekend or a mid week break has never been easier or cheaper from ski holiday specialists, check now and don’t miss out on that super snow and fun at Verbier.
