Located 170 kilometers from Geneva, it has 95 lifts leading to backcountry terrain suitable for advanced and expert riders and off-piste enthusiasts. There are no ropes or signs telling you where you can or cannot go, but hiking up beyond the top of the lifts with direction from your guide will lead you to spectacular runs featuring a variety of terrain, including some of the steepest couloirs in the Alps. Once you’re in Verbier’s backcountry, be prepared for a soulful skiing experience, and snow that’s as untracked as your mind.
