We took a gamble visiting one of the top ski-in-ski-out hotels in Europe in the offseason and enjoyed so much more than just the views. Mountaintop yoga overlooking the valley, anyone?

What to do in Verbier in summer

In the summer, Verbier transforms into a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts, so there’s tons to do! Here are some great options:

Hiking: The trails around Verbier are stunning in the summer, with routes for all levels. Don’t miss the walk to Lac des Vaux or Mont Fort, where you’ll get unbeatable views of the Alps.

Mountain Biking: Verbier has some of Europe’s best mountain biking trails. Try the downhill runs at Verbier Bikepark or head out on scenic cross-country routes.

Paragliding: For a real thrill, go paragliding over the mountains. You'll get an amazing bird’s-eye view of the Swiss Alps and the valley below.

Wine Tasting: Switzerland has a surprising number of vineyards. Take a day trip to the nearby Valais wine region to sample local wines and learn about the region’s wine culture.

Golf: Verbier’s 18-hole golf course offers beautiful alpine scenery, and there’s a 9-hole course as well for a quicker game.

Rock Climbing: The area is perfect for climbing, with both natural rock faces and artificial walls available. There are plenty of routes for beginners and advanced climbers alike.

E-bike Tours: Rent an e-bike and take a guided tour through the mountains if you want an easier way to enjoy Verbier’s trails without all the uphill effort.

Local Markets and Festivals: Summer is festival season, so check out Verbier’s music festivals or stop by a local market for fresh produce and artisan goods.

Relax at a Spa: After all the outdoor adventures, unwind at one of Verbier’s luxurious spas, many of which have incredible mountain views.

Visit St. Bernard Pass: Just a short drive away, this famous pass is home to the St. Bernard dog museum, plus you’ll enjoy beautiful mountain views along the way.

Verbier in summer offers just as much excitement as winter – whether you're into adventure sports or relaxing with a glass of local wine, there's something for everyone.
