I have just returned from three weeks in the Swiss resort of Verbier and what a brilliant spot this is.

For those of you that don’t know Verbier, it is a village located in southwestern Switzerland. It is recognized as one of the premiere “off-piste” locations worldwide and that means powder!! For me it was an opportunity to regain my ski fitness ready for a busy winter, catch up with some old friends and taken in the vibrant nightlife.

This is a perfect location for those people wanting to hone their ski mountaineering skills.
