For many years Verbier was renowned as the chalet capital of the Alps but, in recent times, its French rivals have built up an enviable range of accommodation and Verbier has been struggling to compete, especially at the luxury end of the market - but this has dramaticallly improved in the last couple of years with the addition of several high-quality properties to the tour operators' portfolio. There is quite a range of average chalet accommodation, with the better options being large apartments situated in modern, chalet-style buildings. Location is important, and those properties close to the Medran lift are the most sought-after.
