Verbier isn’t trying to be the next big thing—it’s too busy being exactly what skiers need. With our base in this Swiss village, we’ll spend 7 days exploring some of the best destinations in the Alps. Our schedule is straightforward: morning check, 5-6 hours of snow, and relaxed evenings in town. We’ll spend our first days getting to know Verbier’s range, from smooth cruisers to the steeps of Mont Gelé. Then, we’ll use this perfect location to venture further. Maybe that means a day trip to ski under the Matterhorn, or finding fresh snow at a hidden local resort. The mountains set our agenda, and that’s exactly how it should be.

Itinerary

Ready for fresh tracks in the Swiss Alps? These 7-day ski holidays combine pristine slopes with thoughtfully planned mountain adventures. We'll progress from warm-up runs to more challenging terrain at our own pace, with expert guides leading us to the best snow each day. This perfect ski week comes with 6 nights at a comfortable mountain hotel, hearty breakfasts, a dedicated ski concierge service, and experienced guides that know exactly where to find the perfect terrain for your level.

  • Your ski holidays start at Geneva airport with a scenic two-hour transfer up to Verbier. After getting our room keys and dropping off bags, we’ll share welcome drinks with the guides, learn about snow conditions, and plan the days ahead. In the evening, dinner at a local spot can be arranged, or you can explore the village on your own!

    Accommodation: 3-star or 4-star hotel in Verbier

  • Our day starts at 9am either at the hotel or at the ski shop near the Medran lift. If you haven’t brought your equipment, you’ll rent the right gear here. Then we hit the slopes around Verbier for our first turns! We may split into smaller groups based on skill level, each with their own guide.
    We’ll explore the slopes for about 2 hours, then have lunch in one of the restaurants in Verbier (not included in the price), followed by another 3.5 hours of skiing. Depending on snow conditions and ski levels, we may head to the famous Tortin or Vallon d’Arby, and more advanced skiers might head to steeper terrain. The evening is free: relax, explore Verbier, or join an optional group dinner in one of the best restaurants in the village.

    Skiing time: approx. 5.5 hours
    Accommodation: 3-star or 4-star hotel in Verbier

  • Now that we’ve got our ski legs back, we’re ready for more! After meeting in the morning, we’ll head to the slopes. Advanced skiers might tackle the famous Mont Gelé, while others will continue progressing through Verbier’s itineraries. Less experienced skiers will work on technique on intermediate slopes. After a relaxed lunch in a mountain restaurant (e.g. Chez Dany or Cabane Mont Fort), we’ll continue skiing in the broader 4 Vallées area. Depending on conditions and skill levels, groups may head towards more remote areas such as Nendaz or Siviez for less crowded runs or off-piste skiing. After a full day on the slopes, we’ll relax or enjoy the vibrant après-ski scene in Verbier.

      • DVA training option: Those seeking something more advanced can learn and practice basic backcountry safety protocols in the morning! The guides can set up hands-on avalanche transceiver training at the DVA park.

    Skiing time: approx. 6.5 hours
    Accommodation: 3-star or 4-star hotel in Verbier

  • After our morning meeting, we’ll venture out of Verbier and discover some local gems or larger destinations! We might head to the legendary Chamonix or ski beneath the Matterhorn in Zermatt. For a more intimate and peaceful experience, we might check out Crans-Montana, La Fouly, or Champex-Lac. If the group is up for something even more unique, other local ski areas in the area are an option! We’ll have lunch at a mountain restaurant or share a picnic on the slopes, then continue skiing in our chosen resort. We’ll return to Verbier in the late afternoon and have the evening to rest or enjoy the area.

    Skiing time: approx. 6.5 hours
    Accommodation: 3-star or 4-star hotel in Verbier

  • We’ll gather at the hotel or the Medran lift again and agree on our next objective. Depending on the group’s preferences, energy levels, and the snow conditions, we’ll choose between two options:

      • Option A: Continue exploring hidden gems in the area such as Bruson, enjoy a lunch of rustic alpine dishes at a cozy mountain restaurant (e.g. L’Alpage de Bruson), and ski some relaxed slopes or backcountry terrain in the afternoon, depending on the group’s skill levels.
      • Option B: Head to nearby Chamonix, Courmayeur, or Zermatt for some terrain variety. Enjoy a dining experience at the resort and maximize afternoon ski time before returning to Verbier.

    The evening in Verbier will be free to rest or enjoy the vibrant apres scene in the village.

    Skiing time: approx. 6.5 hours
    Accommodation: 3-star or 4-star hotel in Verbier

  • Our last skiing day will be a bit more relaxed. We’ll stay around Verbier’s main ski area and work on technique, while the more ambitious ones among us will go for some of Verbier’s iconic runs. Then, we’re in for a fantastic gourmet lunch experience at one of Verbier’s top mountain restaurants: Le Dahu or La Vache. After lunch, we’ll either ski for a couple more hours or take it easy. For your last evening, consider hitting a famous après-ski spot like Le Rouge or Pub Mont Fort, or just relax at the hotel.

    Skiing time: approx. 5 hours
    Accommodation: 3-star or 4-star hotel in Verbier

Truly excellent experience being guided by this company. Experienced and considerate, but best of all just brilliant knowledge of where and when to go. We discovered amazing fresh snow and learned some gr8 tips on technique as well. They are obviously capable of leading skiers, free riders, you name it, of every ability.

Traveler McShmaveler (source: Google Reviews)

Two of us had a great time skiing with Joan. We booked him mostly as a guide because we were unfamiliar with Verbier, but he also provided a few really helpful tips on technique. We weren’t expecting great snow since it had been a couple weeks without fresh powder, but he still found us some really nice conditions and fun turns. And he spoke perfect English, and took some great photos/videos for us. No hesitations in recommending Drop In based on our experience!

      • Airport transfers to and from Verbier
      • Guide gratuities — optional
      • Travel and medical insurance — optional
  • To make the most out of these Verbier ski holidays, you should have solid fitness and at least intermediate skiing abilities. This means being able to ski several runs back-to-back before needing a break, and maintaining good technique throughout a 6-hour ski day.

    Your guides will adapt the pace and terrain to the group, but you’ll enjoy the week the most if you can ski for five consecutive days, confidently link turns on red runs, and control your speed in varied conditions. More advanced skiers will find plenty of challenges too, from steep couloirs to off-piste terrain.

    To prepare for this trip, consider exercising regularly and focus on leg strength and cardio. Getting a few days of skiing in before the trip is also a good idea to shake off any rust and build confidence on steeper terrain.
