With the Winter having drawn to a close and the final day of the ski lifts last weekend, Verbier is yet again getting ready for the summer season.
Although not as frequented by holidaymakers in the summer as other nearby resorts, such as Chamonix which is even more popular in the summer than the winter, it is nevertheless this quiet and relaxing atmosphere which Verbier offers that makes it a perfect Alpine getaway.


Summer activities
The summer season really gets started in late June, and there’s plenty on offer to do for adults and children alike, with a variety of outdoor activities from hiking, mountain or road biking, paragliding, horse riding, and rock climbing on offer. Equipment and instruction / guides are available to hire in Verbier for all of these, so whether you have years of experience or none at all, you can enjoy everything that Verbier has to offer.
Verbier also has a sports centre offering an outdoor swimming pool, volleyball and table tennis area, as well as an ice rink and tennis courts, the perfect location for a family to spent the afternoon and Verbier’s very own ‘beach’ while being at 1500m elevation!

Accommodation in the Summer Months
There is also a great range of accommodation available for the summer months, with self-catered apartments proving one of the most popular options especially among families, where private chefs can be arranged on request. Verbier’s finest hotels are also open in the peak months, if not year round, such as the new W Hotel Verbier. The variety of activities on offer make it a fantastic option for families, couples groups of friends or someone looking for an outdoors adventure for their summer.
