Introduction
Verbier is justifiably famous for it's bars and restaurants, but there is much more. Some of the skiing is fantastic, Mont Géle, Tortin and Mont Fort are all fantastic places to search out steep, deep and bumpy slopes. There are a multitude of freeride events on the slopes around Verbier, and it's clear why when you look around the cliffs and couloirs that encircle the ski area.
