Verbier Winter 2025/26: The Lifts Are Rolling! 🎿

Today marked the first day of the new winter ski season in Verbier, and what a cracking start it was. I headed up for a few early-season turns this morning — Lac des Vaux was open, the snow was surprisingly good for this time of year, and the stoke levels were high.

According to the official word from Verbier 4 Vallées, the lifts will now be open every weekend until the full season kicks off in early December. Even better, more snow is on the way tomorrow, which should help open a few extra runs before long.

The mountain was buzzing this morning — a good number of skiers out, plenty of smiles, and that unmistakable first-day energy that says: winter is back.

If you’re new to skiing, or just feeling a bit rusty after summer, now’s a brilliant time to get your legs and confidence back. I’m offering early-season private ski lessons designed to sharpen your skills, boost your control, and get you ready for a full winter of fun once all the lifts open.

Early snow, good vibes, and the promise of more to come — it’s shaping up nicely in Verbier. Bring on the next storm and a few more open pistes.

See you on the slopes,
Roddy
