Verbier Location and History 

Verbier is situated in the southwestern part of Switzerland in the canton of the 4 Valleys. It shares a western border with France and a southern border with Italy.  

From mountain biking, hiking and golf in summer to world class skiing in winter, Verbier is a holiday paradise with breathtaking year-round vistas, après ski relaxation and excellent dining and entertainment venues. 

This charming wooden chalet resort village is situated high up on a mountainside at an altitude of 1500 meters. It was founded at the turn of the 20^th century. In 1925, a group of men hiked up 15 km to Sembrancher in order to ski back down. In 1946, the first lift was installed and over the next 10 years, Verbier grew as a holiday destination. In 1960, following the ski boom, it turned into the sports mecca it is known as today. Although Verbier is now a lively resort, visitors can still experience old world traditions such as cheese making, or see some local "Tomme" home on a walking trip through the village.
