One of the top Alpine resorts, Verbier is a more relaxed version of such fashionable ski destinations as St. Moritz and Gstaad. It, too, hosts its share of the rich and famous and does not lack for sophistication and a lively nightlife. This village is located in the French-speaking Valais region about two hours from Geneva and sits on a on a sunny plateau surrounded by a panorama of peaks and beautiful pine forests. Compact and traditional, Verbier offers some of the most varied and challenging Alpine skiiing to be found. Other winter pursuits include snowboarding, cross-country skiing and ice skating.Verbier's ski area is vast, with more than 100 lifts and year-round skiing on the Mont Fort glacier. Summer activities include hiking, biking, golf, tennis and a music festival that is gaining renown. First-class shops, good restaurants and plenty of après ski entertainment will not disappoint those seeking a chic resort. A special feature of the area are mazots, the small, traditional barns that balance precariously on stone columns.
