Mont-Fort stands at over 3,300 metres and offers a 360-degree panorama of major Alpine peaks. Access is seasonal and weather-dependent. The details below explain how altitude, seasonal conditions and changing schedules affect your visit.

Winter: Altitude and Ski Slopes

The ski runs in the Verbier sector lie between 1,500 and 2,700 metres. The 4 Vallées ski area offers 410 kilometres of slopes, 80 mountain lifts and eight freeride routes. The altitude figures refer to the Verbier sector, while the figures for slopes, lifts and routes refer to the 4 Vallées ski area. These are different reference areas; figures for slopes, lifts and routes may change as the network is planned. Ski operations are also seasonal. Verbier also has a designated sledging area and a free magic carpet that takes you to the top of the slope.

Summer Trails and Viewpoints

The summer trails near Verbier pass through forests, alpine pastures and alpine landscapes, with views over the Val de Bagnes. More than 500 kilometres of marked trails cross Verbier, the Val de Bagnes and La Tzoumaz. This figure covers the trails across all three places, not a single route. Trail conditions and closures vary by season.

Pierre Avoi is a viewpoint at 2,473 metres. You can reach it from the Croix-de-Cœur car park or from Savoleyres after taking a gondola from Verbier. Mountain conditions and lift operations affect access. When planning your visit, consider both the views and the specific access conditions.

Mountain Biking and Outdoor Art

The Verbier Bike Park has nine downhill trails; 19 kilometres of its downhill trails feature ramps and jumps. The trails range from beginner level to courses used in international competitions. Availability is seasonal, and difficulty ratings may change. Check these details for your travel dates.

The Verbier 3-D Foundation Sculpture Park is a free open-air museum between Les Ruinettes and La Chaux. You can explore it on foot, on skis or using the mountain lift network; access by lift is seasonal. The outdoor collection evolves over time. The park therefore offers a different way to experience the surroundings from the trails and ski runs.

Music, Chapel and Other Activities

The Verbier Festival is an internationally renowned classical music festival. Martin Engstroem founded it in 1994, and it takes place every summer. Concerts are held mainly at the Salle des Combins and the Église de Verbier, with other musical events at additional locations around the resort. Dates, programmes and individual venues vary from one edition to the next. If you are planning your trip around the festival, check the details for the relevant edition.

The Chapelle du Hameau de Verbier is part of the area’s built heritage. This private ecumenical chapel is dedicated to All Saints and was created in 1990 by architect Pierre Dorsaz. Its private status is an important distinction from the publicly described activities and places to visit.

The Parc de Loisirs is an outdoor leisure park in the centre of Verbier. Facilities include 18-hole mini golf, trampolines, a climbing wall, tennis, pétanque and table tennis. The Parcours des Moulins is also open to beginners without a licence.

At Les Ruinettes in Verbier, TakiTrek offers a five-kilometre panoramic sledge ride between Les Ruinettes and La Chaux. Paragliding flights also take off from Les Ruinettes, at an altitude of 2,200 metres, with the Alps as a backdrop. These activities add further options to your travel plans alongside the trails, ski runs and cultural offerings.
