A BOARDER-FRIENDLY RESORT WITH LOTS OF EXTREME CHALLENGES AND A YOUNG NIGHTLIFE SCENE

Verbier has two fun parks and a half-pipe and a main ski area devoid of drag lifts. Just as is the case for skiers, the terrain is best suited to the advanced who are ready and willing to explore the vast and exciting off-piste potential.

The most exciting time for boarders to be in Verbier is during the Verbier Xtreme Freeride contest in March, when some awe-inspiring radical boarding feats are on display.
