What’s New in Verbier Winter 2025–2026?

The biggest news in Verbier this season is that the long-standing restaurant at Les Esserts has entered an exciting new chapter. After many years under the same management, the venue has changed hands — and with that comes a wonderful opportunity for renewal. Locals and visitors alike are hopeful that this beloved spot will finally live up to its stunning location and become a true culinary highlight in Verbier.

The previous management was known for a rather distinctive approach to hospitality, one that perhaps didn’t always resonate with the resort’s growing international crowd. But that’s all in the past — and the change marks a fresh start for a place with so much potential.

Best of all, the talented chef and team from the much-loved No.22 are taking over the restaurant. Their arrival signals a new era for Les Esserts, one defined by creativity, warmth, and exceptional food. It’s a hugely positive step for Verbier’s dining scene and a very welcome addition for everyone who appreciates great service and cuisine in the mountains.

You may have heard from other sources that the new Savoleyres lift is coming along nicely and will start to make a real difference to the skiing this winter. Add in the brand-new Tortin / Lac de Vaux lift, and the 2025–2026 season is shaping up to be one of the best yet in Verbier.

Verbier Snow 2025 / 2026 

And finally, the signs are looking good for some epic snow this winter. After all, what is skiing without the white stuff? The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) is set to stir things up with the jet stream, bringing plenty of Atlantic precipitation to the Alps. When that collides with cold air from the east, we could be looking at some seriously deep powder days ahead.
