What’s New in Verbier
The classic Swiss ski resort has undergone a transformation ahead of the 2014-2015 winter season. With everything from hotels to restaurants having gone under the knife, there’s never been a better time to head out this firm favourite.
Verbier has long been a favourite for any skier looking for a classic Swiss ski holiday with a luxe twist. The skiing is lively and the après even more so, with the high-end clientele adding a dash of luxury to this village perched high on a sunny plateau. However what makes Verbier one of the best resorts around is its lesser-known areas. From the Bruson ski area, to the eco accommodation and the smaller villages of the St Bernard region area, each aspect adds value to what is already a stellar destination.
The 3* Montpelier Hotel is back!
Just a five minute walk from the heart of Verbier, this former Inghams property has undergone a total transformation and is ready to welcome guests for the 2014/2015 season. The 3* property features 50 rooms, with most offering some of the best views of the Alps in Verbier. With indoor parking, an on-site ski shop and swimming pool, a stay in The Montpelier will be truly unforgettable. For more information and bookings please visit www.montpelierverbier.ch.
Brand new Verbier app set to launch
Verbier has joined forces with Téléverbier to create a unique app that will host everything skiers could possibly need to know about the resort. From maps of both the resort and the piste, to hotels and weather forecasts, it can all be found both on and offline, meaning that all skiers will have access to the app at any time. The app promises to be interactive and link people together, so die-hard Verbier fans will never lose touch.
Mixing gourmet and après at The Cristal Mountain and Ruinettes Restaurants
If skiers are looking for some high-altitude dining with a lively twist, then this season they’ll be flocking to The Ruinettes. The result is a combination of delicious, fresh self-service food, a mouth-watering gourmet brasserie and a lively mix of cabaret, music and live entertainment, all at a dizzying height of 2200m. Partnering with some of most creative and talented chefs in Europe, the aim is to ‘strive to surprise’ every afternoon this coming winter.
