The resort of Verbier has an incomparable skiing area. Known as the "4 Vallées", this consists of a network of 410 kilometers of runs and nearly 100 modern ski lifts. This means that it is possible to enjoy many days of skiing and still find something new - without lengthy waiting times. Created at altitudes of between 1500 and 3330 meters, the runs enjoy exceptional snow conditions from November until April, and allow enthusiasts of all levels to find ideal runs. One-third of these are classified as "blue", or easy, one-third are "red" for intermediate skiers and the final third are "black", i.e. reserved for the experienced.

The highest point of the skiing area reaches 3330 meters - the Mont-Fort glacier, infallibly offering some extra snow and a superb downhill run, via a stunning mogul section, and of course an incomparable, 360° panorama of the most prestigious peaks of the Alps.

Verbier has a worldwide reputation, above all thanks to its off-piste and helicopter-access skiing. Easily accessible from the ski lifts, the region offers many legendary off-piste and high-altitude routes open to experienced skiers or snowboard enthusiasts. Powder snow or dizzying corridors, areas known by the chosen few alone ... or by guides who are happy to accompany an adventurer on skis or snowboard - and whose presence offers security!
The true capital of freeriding in Europe, Verbier hosts one of the world's best-known competitions in this discipline in mid-March of each year: the Nissan O'Neill Xtreme Verbier, which takes places on the North face of the Bec des Rosses. This mountain has a slope with an incline of over 55°, and the 25 best professional riders take part in the event by invitation. In short, this is an extremely high level competition that guarantees a unique spectacle - and at the same time creates awareness among the media and the public regarding the safety aspects linked to off-piste skiing or snowboarding.
