Fly

Fly to Geneva Airport and get an airport transfer which takes just under 3 hours. Or fly to Sion Airport which is closer, but there is less choice when booking flights.

Train

Get a train to Martigny and then change for Le Châble. You can then either stay in Le Châble, or get a taxi, bus or the gondola up into Verbier.

There is a free bus service that runs circular around the resort. Verbier has a free bus service that runs from Carrefour all the way down to Verbier village. It runs every 5-10 minutes from 8am – 6pm.

All lines run through the supermarket stop (Migros), Ermitage  car park in Place Centrale, Medran lift station and Savoleyres lift station. So if you need to get to any lift station, it doesn’t matter which one you get on.

It is important to get the right number to get to your destination.

• Line 1 takes you to to Carrefour
• Line 2 takes you to Hameau (Les Esserts)
• Line 3 takes you to Patier and Verbier Village

*Tip – Only line 3 stops outside la poste on the way to Patier and Verbier Village

These can be found on the official Verbier website.

Fitness and Recovery Sessions

Lottie and Emma, from Mountain Beach Fitness Retreats, offer whole body innovative workouts designed systematically to complement your skiing, speed up recovery and enhance your performance on and off the piste. Sessions vary from high-intensity cardio and strength conditioning, working on ski-specific skills such as agility, balance, coordination and power, to active recovery and assisted stretch sessions. Training is offered either 1-on-1 or in private groups with a maximum of four. Sessions are tailored made to suit individuals and the in-chalet service means Lottie and Emma can come straight to you, unless you fancy their ethos of fresh air, outdoors training!
