HEAD TO VERBIER TO EAT,
DRINK AND BE SERIOUSLY
MERRY – BUT DON’T FORG
TO ENJOY SOME OF THE BE
SKIING IN THE ALPS
WHILE MANY
ski resorts
rely on a new gimmick every
season to grab the headlines,
there are some, like Verbier,
that simply don’t need to. Afte
all, when you have some of the
best skiing
and
après-ski in
the world, who needs anythin
else? Verbier’s magnificent
high Alpine setting, on a wide
sunny plateau beneath giant,
craggy peaks, a great selection
chalet accommodation and th
convenience of a short, two-h
drive from Geneva, makes it o
of the world’s most iconic reso
A true grande dame of the
Alpine scene, the resort sees a
yearly influx of extreme skiers
who come here to test themsel
on couloirs, cliffs and moguls,
while the Geneva and Paris
jet-set slip under the radar to
frequent upscale restaurants a
nightclubs. Verbier is known f
attracting some seriously weal
skiers, but it’s more ski jacket
than fur jacket, or “sports chic
as the locals call it. And for
the rest of us? Well, it’s an
opportunity to experience ho
the other half ski.
