Verbier, Switzerland There is no doubt that Verbier is trying hard to retain its international visitors, improving over the last few years its grooming, snowmaking, ski school and lifts - most recently with the overdue replacement of the Tortin gondola. But major complaints remain. Some are down to the organization of the resort - the kind of slope sign posting would be comical if it were not infuriating - but others are down to the lie of the land. For experts prepared to hire a guide
in order to explore off-slope, Verbier is one of the big names. With its
FourValleys lift network and a claimed 250 miles of slopes; Verbier would
seem at first sight to rank alongside the French mega-resorts such as
Courchevel or La Plagne for slope skiers, too. But it doesn't; the Four
Valleys is an inconveniently sprawling affair, while Verbier's local slopes
are surprisingly confined. Of course, slope skiers can have a satisfying
holiday here - but you can do that in scores of resorts from Alpbach to
Zell am See. Whether they can match Verbier's famously vibrant nightlife
is another question.
