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.

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 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.
