Medran Gondola
The Medran Gondola departs from Verbier village centre — the main gondola station is right in the heart of the village, 2 min walk from the main square. Taillay starts at the gondola's first main stop and runs gently back down through the forest.
Verbier's gentlest blue — a lovely tree-lined descent and the ideal confidence builder for first-time visitors.
Les Esserts Chair
On the lower slopes directly above the village, reached via the Les Esserts chair from the Medran gondola mid-station. The run faces south-west — sunny in the afternoon — and gives you a clear view down over Verbier village the whole way.
Wide and rolling with gorgeous views over Verbier village. Consistent intermediate pitch, reliably groomed.
Savoleyres Gondola
The Savoleyres sector is a completely separate hill on the far side of Verbier village from the main ski area. The Savoleyres gondola is a 10 min walk from the village centre, on the opposite side from Medran. Very few people bother making the walk, which is exactly why it's so peaceful.
Verbier's quietest sector — ideal for peaceful blue-run laps away from the main mountain crowds.
The destination
Perched at 1,500m above the Val de Bagnes, Verbier is Switzerland's most international ski resort with a legendarily lively après-ski scene and a surprisingly relaxed village during the day.
