Verbier

Come experience Verbier’s Epic powder with us, using the extensive lift system to dig deep into the unskied valleys and get a taste of what skiing in the Swiss Alps is all about. We’ll also explore the incredible “little areas that rock”, mom-and-pop resorts with incredible skitouring potential, accessing villages that haven’t been skied to in a decade. Topping it off, we’ll use the helicopter for some of the choice descents for the ultimate day in the Alps. Our UIAGM guides are the best in the region, and enjoy finding the best powder descents as much as we do.

Dine at rustic mountain restaurants enjoying local wine and a cheese fondue, ski to the historic St. Bernard Monastery (where the fabled dogs have been rescuing lost mountain men for over 1000 years) before dropping into Italy for an incredible dinner and overnight on the south side of Mt Blanc in Courmayeur. Experience a private tasting in the UNESCO wine-producing region of Lavaux along Lake Geneva on your way back to the States. The Verbier intro to the Alps is a fantastic value for some of the best skiing on the planet.
