Five things to consider before deciding where to stay in Verbier
When it comes to booking accommodation in Verbier, there is certainly no shortage of choice.
Whether you're looking for luxury hotels, chalets for large groups or apartments that are as close to the lifts as possible, you’ll find it all here.
If you’re holidaying with kids
Trudging around in ski boots is no fun for anyone. If your kids are booked in for ski lessons, you might want to consider booking accommodation near one of the nursery slopes.
If you want ski-in ski-out
For apartments look at Les Creux-Savoleyres, and for chalets, rue de Ransou has some great ones located on the sides on the home run.
If you want to party
You’ll want to stay as close to Verbier centre as possible. There are a few bars in other areas, but most of the après-ski action is in town itself.
If you’re on a budget
La Chable is where you'll find some cheaper options, but it is slightly out of the main hub for après.
If you want luxury
There is no shortage of option in Verbier from four and five-star hotels to high-end apartments and chalets with all the bells and whistles you may desire.
Place Centrale and Medran lift: central ski accommodation
Right at the heart of Verbier sit the aptly named Place Centrale, from where the Medran lift departs accessing the main ski area.
Who should stay in Verbier centre?
This is the place to be if you are looking for central accommodation right at the heart of the action and want easy access to ski schools, shopping and, of course, the town’s legendary bars, nightclubs and restaurants.
When it comes to the style of accommodation, this is the area with the most hotels in Verbier, featuring a good choice of three to five-star establishments. For convenience purposes, this is a great area to base yourself.
Les Creux and Savoleyres: quiet, convenient spots
Up the hillside from the centre of Verbier, these two hamlets are very close to the pistes and near the amenities of Verbier centre.
Who should stay in Les Creux-Savoleyres?
Les Creux and Savoleyres are good options for those looking for ski to the door accommodation and who are not too worried about making the most of the town's nightlife.
Booking ski accommodation here means that you are closer to some of the quieter lifts and slopes in the valley, making it a great location for families. Despite the fact that this area is slightly out of town, the main lifts, bars and restaurants are still easily reachable thanks to Verbier’s free bus service.
Le Chable: affordable accommodation options
Situated at the bottom of the valley, Le Chable is a quiet village, very well connected with the centre of Verbier thanks to a gondola that provides direct access to the Medran ski lift. This means that the ski slopes and nightlife of Verbier are still within easy reach.
Who should stay in Le Chable?
Much of Verbier’s central ski accommodation can be pretty expensive, so if you're looking for a cheaper chalet or hotel, then the village of Le Chable is a great choice.
Whenever you fancy getting stuck into Verbier’s legendary après ski scene, just bear in mind that the last lift down the valley leaves at 18:30, so you’d better start early...
Bruson: ideal for families and real skiers
Based on the other side of the valley from Verbier, Bruson is considered by locals as a bit of a hidden gem in the 4 Valleys ski area.
Who should stay in Bruson?
The village has an unspoiled and peaceful feel, which makes it a fantastic choice for families or skiers who are looking for a more authentic Alpine ski holiday.
Skiing here on a powder day is great, when the rest of Verbier may already be tracked out.
La Tzoumaz: quiet and affordable option
In the opposite direction from Verbier than Bruson, it comes to life in both winter and summer.
Linked to Verbier and the rest of the 4 Valleys ski area by the Savolyeres ski lift and has a much quieter après ski scene than the central part of Verbier.
Who should stay in La Tzoumaz?
Those looking for an affordable, quiet ski holiday. Accommodation here includes some great apartments and chalets, most of which are just a stone's throw away from the lifts.
There are a handful of bars and restaurants in La Tzoumaz, offering mostly Savoyard style food or pizza.
Luxury hot spots in Verbier
If you're searching for luxury accommodation in Verbier, you're in luck! The resort offers plenty of high-end options, many of which feature private swimming pools, spas, hot tubs and even cinema rooms.
Lxury chalets and apartments
Verbier centre is where most of the high-end chalets and apartments are located.
For chalets, check out the area around rue de Médran, south of the lift that bears the same name. Luxury apartments can be found mainly in the brand new residences built in the town centre.
Five-star hotels
Verbier has two five-star hotels, both of them located in the centre, plus a great selection of luxury chalet-style hotels.
They all boast high-class amenities including fully equipped spas, gourmet restaurants or private chefs, plus bedrooms and a concierge service that will help you achieve your dream ski holiday.
Romantic corners in Verbier
High snow-capped peaks, deep luscious forests, white snow-filled fields and cosy wooden chalets with roaring fires – a ski break can be the most romantic of holidays.
In Verbier, you’ll be able to make all your fairy-tale escapade dreams come true.
Most of the Verbier towns offer the quintessentially picturesque Alpine holiday. Picture large ski chalets nestled between the trees where you can relax in the hot tub at the end of a hard day on the pistes and enjoy wonderful panoramic mountain views.
Group accommodation in Verbier
Groups have very specific needs, namely a big enough space and easy access to the slopes and the resort's amenities.
Large apartments and chalets for groups
All around the Verbier valley you'll find chalets and apartments accommodating up to 10 people and more.
However, if you want to impress your guests or you want your group of friends to make the most of what Verbier has to offer, staying in the centre is key.
Try Les Creux-Savoleyres for its closeness to the pistes or Place Centrale-Medran for the selection of bars and restaurants.
Family accommodation in Verbier
When travelling with young children, you ideally want to stay somewhere that has lots of facilities and services nearby so that you don't have to travel long distances to get to the slopes or the restaurants.
Les Creux-Savoleyres are the best places for piste access and to be near the beginner slopes.
If it's peace and quiet you're after, then Bruson and La Tzoumaz are your best bet, offering a slower pace of life.
Cheap accommodation in Verbier
Verbier has a huge number of catered chalets and self-catered apartments on offer, many of which are on the affordable end of the spectrum. In general, the further away from the centre you get, the cheaper the prices are.
Le Chable is probably the cheapest place to stay in the area. It offers direct access to Verbier via its gondola and has a couple of bars and restaurants but it's world's away from Verbier Centre's lively atmosphere.
However, the gondola runs until 18:30 so, if you're craving some après-ski action, you can always just start early.
Ski-in ski-out hot spots in Verbier
Ski-to-door accommodation is very popular in Verbier, which means that it gets booked out quite quickly. Prices are also usually more expensive than the accommodation a bit further away from the slopes. However, there's no greater feeling than arriving at your doorstep with your skis on, so get on booking as soon as you can if you want to experience it yourself.
There's a whole host of apartment residences in the Les Creux-Savoleyres area that are as close to the pistes as you get without being right on top of them.
As for chalets, rue de Ransou, north of the Medran lift, has some great ones located on the sides on the home run.
Camping and glamping in Verbier
There are no campsites in Verbier itself, but there are a couple in the Quatre Vallées area of the Verbier valley. Most are open only in the summer – it's better to enquire before you book.
Where to park a motorhome or campervan in Verbier
The closest one is located in Champsec, a small campsite with a tiny café 20 minutes from Verbier by car.
There are also campsites in the valley towns of Bonatchiesse (around 40 minutes from Verbier) and Vetroz (around 50 minutes from Verbier). They're all open in the summer only.
