Verbier Heliski

One of the Alps’ younger resorts, Verbier has achieved a solid reputation as the ultimate freeride destination. With Switzerland’s best lift-accessed steeps, incredible touring options, and classic heliski descents, untracked powder is never far away. And the surrounding “mom-and-pop” resorts can deliver the ultimate powder day, an almost private resort feeling - this is why the Verbier heliski experience is so unique.

High-end accommodation, whether in private chalets or hip design hotels, make for a perfect blend of luxury and adventure. Fondue dinner in a mountain restaurant precedes a moonlight luge-ride back to the village. And Verbier’s legendary nightlife always makes things interesting. We’ll handle your dinner reservations as well as VIP tables at the Alps’ best nightclubs, if you wish.
