Verbier

4 valleys, is one of the largest ski area in Switzerland and a reputation as one of the world's best off-piste areas. As if that wasn't enough, there is also the annual final of the Freeride World Tour, which traditionally takes place on the frightening north side of the mountain Bec de Rosses. In Verbier you can find almost everything that most snow-covered mountains have to offer. The fact that it has become the hot spot for many European high-income earners might not seem so strange. Although, they would probably rather return to the countless 5-star hotels, luxury restaurants and connoisseur shops.

Verbier is a big city with a population of around 35,000 in the winter. Don't expect to only find people with the most money to spend in this area, because snow enthusiasts from all income groups like to come here to enjoy the mountains. Looking at the price though, Verbier is not one of the cheapest places in the Alps. The great thing about having so much to offer is that it would take a lot for things to go wrong. It's almost impossible to go wrong with a trip to Verbier.
