Verbier / 4 Vallées

The ski area runs from 1,500 to 3,330 metres above sea level, a vertical range of 1,830 metres. For snow reliability the lower figure matters more: that is where the snow disappears first, and where a mild December is felt before it is felt at the top.

410 kilometres on 80 lifts, according to the operator. There is no binding standard for measuring piste kilometres, so the figure is comparable between resorts only to a point. The lift count says at least as much about how big a place feels.

CHF 92 for an adult day pass at the standard rate, as of summer 2026. Booked early it is often less; on a peak Saturday it is not. Arriving by public transport takes up to 30 per cent off through the Snow’n’Rail scheme.

The usual season window is Nov – April. For winter 2026/27 the resort has announced 7 November 2026 as its starting date (Lac des Vaux, zunächst an Wochenenden). Every announced date depends on enough snow and cold.

The destination stop is Verbier, station poste. From Zürich HB the fastest connection on a Saturday morning takes 4 h 14, changing 3 times; from Bern 3 h 03. A guide value, not a timetable.

Yes. Verbier / 4 Vallées is one of the destinations in SBB RailAway's combined offer: book the journey and the ski pass together and the pass costs up to 30 per cent less. At SBB the destination is listed as 4 Vallées. That percentage is the maximum SBB advertises; what actually comes off depends on the ticket type and the date, and only SBB can tell you bindingly.

Yes. Glacier terrain makes the early season more reliable, because the snow layer is supported from below by ice. The summers since 2022 have shown that this is no longer a guarantee either: several Alpine glacier areas have given up summer skiing altogether.

Yes, and a good one: we rate it 7 out of 10. That rating is our own assessment, based on the size and number of features, how regularly the park is shaped, and whether it runs all season. It does not come from the lift company.
