The locals' guide
Trails, bike park, season, prices: everything you should know before riding here.
Verbier, Val de Bagnes, Valais
Verbier, at 1500 m in the Val de Bagnes in Valais, offers around 400 km of marked trails in the heart of the 4 Vallées area, a bike park served by the Médran gondola, some thirty lifts in summer and about fifteen high-altitude restaurants. The season generally runs from May to October.
This page is our local guide: what we answer when people ask us where, when and how to ride in Verbier. To live it on the trails, there are our guided tours and our private lessons.
The terrain
Enduro & singletracks
This is the heart of riding in Verbier: mountainside singletracks, switchbacks, forest sections and views over the Combins. The signature route is the descent from Mont-Fort, a huge vertical drop served by lifts. It is also where our guides make the difference: the best trails are not on the maps.
Bike park
Reached via the Médran gondola, the Verbier bike park offers built trails from blue to black, maintained all summer. Ideal for progressing in downhill by stacking up runs. Exact opening dates are published each season by Téléverbier, generally from June to October.
E-bike & terroir
On an e-bike, the Val de Bagnes opens up to everyone: alpine paths, villages, mountain huts and some fifteen high-altitude restaurants serving the Valais platter and Bagnes cheese. This is the terrain of our gourmet ride, enjoyable from the very first pedal stroke.
