Accommodation
The W wow factor comes to Verbier in the form of this uber-chic alpine enclave; open all year round and located at the foot of the slopes on Place Blanche, the W Verbier is the only luxury five-star ski-in hotel in town. Here, just metres from the Medran gondola, après-ski haunts and exclusive boutiques, guests can relax in unfettered comfort in superbly-appointed rooms and suites designed in urban alpine-chic style complete with balconies and signature W beds. For the ultimate indulgence, the W Verbier Residences offer a home-from-home experience with all of the perks, privileges and facilities of the hotel right next door. The luxury ski hotel offers an array of gourmet delights, from delectable Japanese flavours at the Carve winter pop-up sushi bar, to modern local cuisine at W Kitchen. For relaxed quality time savouring a glass of champagne, head to the W Off Piste bar on Place Blance. The renowned W Verbier spa, AWAY® Spa, features nine treatment rooms; enjoy a work out in FIT followed by a dip in the WET® indoor/outdoor swimming pool.
The high altitude of the ski area means Verbier snow conditions are excellent throughout the season with an abundance of snow. Verbier is situated on a sunny plateau and offers incredible vistas of Mont-Blanc and the Combins massif.

W Verbier is enveloped by Verbier's most exclusive shops and restaurants; escape for a little 'me' time and browse the coolest boutique shops around Place Blanche.
Head to the W Living Room for après-ski; sip on a Charlie Chaplin whilst reminiscing of your day on the slopes.
This is very much a matter of personal preference. Christmas and New Year are very popular; Christmas in the snow is incredibly magical and the resort pulls out all of the stops for New Year’s Eve, with a bar and DJ in the central square from 4pm, a live concert at 10.30pm and fireworks at midnight. The weather can be very cold in January which makes for excellent snow conditions and a lot of people are returning to work and school making the slopes quiet. School holidays in February are very busy, so we recommend that you book in advance if you wish to travel in these dates. The sun begins to shine in March meaning longer days and April is the snowiest month of the season. In spring and summer, the resort offers an array of outdoor activities making it a perfect choice for any adrenaline junkie.
