"We were looking for good early season challenging off piste slopes and Verbier was excellent. Free bus service made getting around easy and people in town very friendly and helpful. The off piste is what makes this area special both guided and between pistes on your own. Very wide open areas for skiing making a lot of fun skiing for even intermediates."
