Where to stay - Verbier - Switzerland

Verbier has grown quickly over the last 40 years but thankfully, due to strict planning laws, retains a rustic, alpine charm and welcoming, village feel. You will notice however that it is still growing; chalets and apartments at various stages of build are going up around the resort.  Desired accommodation for tourists coming to Verbier is in the centre of town where shops, bars, restaurants and the main Medran lift station are all in walking distance. Quieter places to stay can be found in Savoleyres and Haneau, near to Les Esserts nursery slope, and towards Patier, around Les Moulin baby slope.

Accommodation

Chalets

Chalet-style properties rise up above the church to Savoleyres and Hameau, and below Migros to Patier and Verbier Village, away from the hustle and bustle. Catered chalets are the favoured accommodation here and can provide good value if you're looking for the traditional ski holiday experience including guiding on the mountain, afternoon tea and free wine with dinner.

Hotels

Hotels feature some of swishiest and classy abodes in town, from 3-star to luxury, and most are conveniently situated in the centre of town.

Self-catering

Although the least popular option in Verbier, hiring a self-catering apartment does give you the freedom to sample the resort's extensive range of restaurants.
