This is my fifth season in Verbier and it is a fantastic resort. There’s terrain to suit all levels and on a rare day-off you’ll find me on one of the many itinerary runs that Verbier is famous for. In the summer I love to hill walk or cycle at home in Scotland.

Buy your own boots. There’s nothing worse than having sore feet on the hill.

Client Feedback:

I was really impressed with our instructor (Gordon) - he listened to what we wanted to acheive and really helped us progress in a very short space of time. I would definitely book with NG again.

Organisation good, re-aasigned my daughter to another class so she could progress faster. Very pleasant and effective instructor (Gordon Porteous, Verbier). Result excellent. Would pick a ski resort for next year partly on whether NewGen were there.
