When you’re thinking about planning a skiing holiday, you may be wondering whether it would be to your tastes or not. The great news is that although skiing can be great fun, there is a lot more that you can do on ski breaks in addition to hitting the slopes, too. With beautiful resorts such as Geneva to Verbier in the south west of Switzerland to escape to, you are sure to have a great time whilst you’re away. If you’re wondering what else a ski break can offer in addition to beautifully smooth slopes then read on and see if you can be tempted.
Beautiful views and breath-taking scenery
Whether you enjoy skiing as an activity or not, you can’t argue against the scenery in the Verbier resort. Because there is so much to enjoy with regards to the views, the whole family can appreciate the surroundings, meaning that there is plenty to like even if skiing might not be your preferred activity.
Plenty of accommodation to choose from
No matter what you want from your break, whether you’re looking to be waited on at a hotel or whether you would rather enjoy the company of your family at a hired chalet, there is something in Verbier to suit all tastes and needs.
The annual strawberry festival
If you happen to visit around May, you might be around for the annual strawberry festival, which is always very entertaining and worth a visit. Not only do you have the opportunity to pick some strawberries for yourself, but you can also enjoy the entertainment that is on offer, including live music during the event and a great number of activities that children are free to enjoy. It is worth planning your trip around this time if you feel that you need something to keep the entire family occupied.
Make the most of other sports
If you don’t want to spend your whole break skiing, then you may like the sound of Verbier’s bike park, where you can hire mountain bikes and cycle through the stunning scenery that surrounds you.
Enjoy some beautiful music
If you’re not that much of a sports fan at all, then perhaps the annual classical music festival would be more to your tastes instead. There are lots of performers, including the most up to date and prominent classical musicians, and you also have the opportunity to attend master classes with some of the artists – which is a chance that you might not get at any other time.
Ultimately, if you’re looking for a ski resort where you can get a little bit of everything you could possibly want, Verbier could be the perfect choice for you. With plenty to do to entertain the whole family, you should find that it is a hit with your entire party. You’re certain to want to book again for next season – and with so much to do, there will still be plenty for you to see when you return.
