ℹ️ These figures refer to the Les 4 Vallées ski area, which is shared by several resorts: kilometres of runs, number of runs, lifts and lift pass are common to all of them. The values shown here and on the pages of neighbouring resorts therefore refer to the same ski area and the same lift pass: they do not add up.
The 412 km, 68 lifts and lift pass shown are those of the 4 Vallées ski area, shared by Verbier, Nendaz, Veysonnaz, Thyon and La Tzoumaz; the breakdown of runs is given as a percentage of the kilometres. Verbier overlooks the Val de Bagnes from its sunny balcony at 1,500 m. It is the most famous gateway to the 4 Vallées, which link Verbier, La Tzoumaz, Nendaz, Veysonnaz and Thyon. The Mont-Fort, at 3,330 m, offers descents of nearly 2,000 m of vertical drop, and the off-piste faces around it have made Verbier a world reference for freeride. The resort is also renowned for its après-ski and its international clientele.

Based on the resort's altitude and historical snow reliability
Verbier is one of the few resorts offering more than 412 km of runs – a vast ski area that even the fastest skiers could not cover in a week. With 68 lifts and 0 runs listed, this is a destination that can absorb all the tourist flows without ever feeling crowded. Verbier's DNA is upmarket: its accommodation, high-altitude restaurants and resort services reflect a clientele that doesn't count the cost. With a day lift pass at 99€, the stay comes at a price, but the experience lives up to it for those who want to treat themselves without compromise. As for snow reliability, Verbier is in a strong position with its summit at 3,330 m – even in capricious winters, the upper runs hold up well until April. The village at 1,500 m is also well placed to guarantee comfortable conditions from mid-December onwards. The budget for a stay in Verbier is clearly high: 99€ for the day lift pass, plus accommodation and high-altitude restaurants among the most expensive in the Alps. It is the price of excellence – but you need to be aware of it before setting off. In short: Verbier is not for everyone, but for those who can afford it, it is probably one of the finest skiing experiences in Europe.
