Easter Ski

If you are a family of skiers looking to book next seasons ski holiday, how about trying Easter skiing break? Much cheaper than the ski half term holidays, and you may be pleasantly surprised by the prices? Being Verbier, the snow is always good with high altitude skiing in beautiful sunny bowls.

Many assume, with this Easter being late, that in April the skiing may be limited, but this is far from the truth and skiing back to the village has been possible most seasons with fresh snow the last two years, this year, nearly 50cm. So for a great sunny ski holiday, why not give it go!

Ski Half Term

Chalets in Verbier are always sort after and half term skiing holidays are certainly not an exception. Last year if you started looking in November you probably din't come here, and instead so other resort, and probably not one on a par with here. Early reservations are therefore recommended and if you need any support then please don't hesitate to contact us.

Ski In Ski Out

The great thing about Verbier, is not only the fact that you can ski one of the best luxury ski resorts in the world, you can ski two. Including in your Verbier 4 Vallees is unlimited skiing in Chamonix so you can have the best of both worlds.

In fact why not enjoy one week in one of Europe's best luxury catered chalets in the Chamonix Valley and then another in one of Europe's greatest luxury ski resorts, Verbier.

Easter Ski Holidays

After such great skiing this Easter, the 2011 Easter ski holidays fall a little later next season so our advice is go higher to ensure good snow conditions. With Verbier situated at 1,500m and most skiing above 2,200m and up to 3,300m, it not offers extensive skiing in 4 Vallees, it offers great high altitude skiing well into May.

Verbier Christmas

Don't forget to book your Verbier Christmas break to avoid missing out. Always a popular ski week, the early bird will in this case get the worm, or in reality a fantastic ski Christmas break. A great Swiss resort, a fabulous snow record, an outstanding apres ski life in a pretty town, what more could you want?

Ski Verbier

One of the very best ski operators in Verbier is probably Discover Verbier who have been operating for well over 10 years and have built themselves a formidable offering, whilst still maintaining that family friendly ski service that ensures that whatever the reason for your visit to Verbier, be it skiing with friends, a family ski holiday, or corporate ski event.

Best Luxury Ski Resorts

If you are going to compile a list of the best luxury ski resorts in Europe, for value for money, high altitude skiing, some of the best skiing in Europe, great apres-ski, and some fantastic ski chalets, Verbier must surely feature high on the list? With skiing at Mont Fort well over the 3,000 metres it has a fabulous snow sure record, and some of the runs, such as Tortin are legendary experiences.

So if you haven't skied Verbier before, putting at the top of your best luxury ski resorts list and go next year!

Family Ski Chalets

Verbier is a great location for a family ski chalet holiday, Verbier is one of the favourite choices. From beginner through to experts, Verbier will offer your family it all. Younger children have the Savoleyres ski area, with beginners starting at the gentle beginner slopes and on the magic carpet, and then moving on to the drag lift and then the blue slopes.

Older and more experienced family skiers will probably prefer the Attelas area and its blues and reds. Either way, a great place for a family ski chalet holiday.

Easter Ski

The Easter ski has long been the last ski of the season for the ski obsessed clientele, but now we are seeing more and more family ski groups getting away to make the most of the great snow, and yes it is great after the recent snowfall, the bright sunshine, and enjoy a great family ski holiday over the Easter ski break.

If you haven't yet experienced an Easter ski holiday, trust us on this one, you are missing out!

Chalets Verbier

A popular destination, over recent years there has been an increasing number of Verbier chalets available, but still demand seems to outstrip demand. Despite all the new entrants to the Verbier chalet market, one company stands out above the rest and that is Discover Verbier, a company that has managed to grow its portfolio, whilst retain its high quality luxury catered chalets service, with family friendly caring approach.

So if you are looking for a great chalet in Verbier, take a look and give them a call for the big Verbier ski company, that still retains a personal touch.

Ski Verbier 4 Vallees

If you are looking for a great place to ski, the Verbier 4 Vallees has to be one of the ski resorts on the agenda. Widely regarded as one of the very best places to ski in Europe, Verbier is situated in the Swiss Region of Valais and has probably some of the best snow and sunshine on record, the latter attributing to over 300 sunny days a year!

There are four main towns that make up the ski Verbier 4 Vallees network and these are Verbier, Thyon and Nendaz, Tzoumaz. Verbier is the more lively of the three but the others are great alternatives if price is a consideration and partying until 4am is not necessary!

With over 100 ski and marked itinerary runs (35 blue pistes, 55 red piste, and 10 black) there is something for every one. So don't delay to book a Verbier Chalet and have one of the best ski weeks of your life.

Ski In Ski Out

The one surprising thing about Verbier is how limited the ski in ski out accommodation really is. This said there are some great properties. One of the best is however in Tzoumaz, and if you are a family ski group looking for a great family ski chalet, or just friends who enjoy a few drinks, but don't need the hustle and exuberence of Vrbier Town, Chalet Auriane is probably the perfect luxury chalet to ski the Verbier 4 Vallees network.

Tzoumaz is a growing town that offers easy access from Geneva, and is part of the fabulous Verbier 4 Vallees ski region. Whilst the very young at heart might want to still be in Verbier town, let me put it this way, for the rest of you, does the one or two nights have a couple of beers need to be in Verbier, and could they not be just enjoyed as much in Tzoumaz? And if that isn't enough, a chalet of Chalet Auriane's standard in Verbier would be at least 10,000 GBP more, so my last question would therefore be, are the couples of nights out really worth 5,000 GBP per night?

 

Ski Christmas

Christmas doesn't have to be an anti-climax, not if you decide to ski Verbier at Christmas! With some stunning chalets, a great apres-ski nightlife, and some of the best skiing in the world. And if you choose a luxury catered chalet, a ski Christmas Verbier chalet will still mean the traditional Christmas tree and decorations, and the full works in terms of the Christmas dinner, it just won't have to be prepared and cooked by mum and dad!!

So for a great family ski break, a ski Christmas holiday in Verbier makes perfect sense!

Ski New Year

After the half term ski break, many may have already turned their attentions to the ski Christmas and ski New Year holidays judging by demand for these weeks. In fact all three weeks have seen brisk sales as guests look to secure a chalet in Verbier and avoid missing out.

The New Year skiing is a particular favourite with many visitors making use of the extended holidays between Christmas and the New Year. In terms of recommendations, we are happy to recommend three or four great operators if you a looking for a ski New Year break in Verbier so drop us a line.

Ski Half Term

Well being the ski half term week its been a pretty full on week so hopefully I'll be forgiven for keeping this relatively short as there is always a great deal to do before change over / transfer day. Whilst a busy week, the half term skiing week has been busy but fun with some great snow in Verbier.

As one of the premier ski resorts, the resort has been full to the brim and anyone looking for chalet in Verbier for a late deal would have been somewhat disappointed as there certainly wasn't any room at the Inn!

If you did miss out on booking the family ski holiday at half term this year, and are determined not to in 2011, you might want to check out Family Ski Holidays Blog for some ideas and tips.
